RPGnet is unusual in that the reviewers are "amateurs", namely, non-staff gamers. As a result, RPGnet has, AFAIK, one of the largest databases of reviews, sometimes multiple reviews of the same product, and, unfortunately, a variable quality in reviews. (Same applies to BoardGameGeek for German-style boardgames.) RPGnet also allows designers et al. to review their own games; in submitting the review, the designer checks a box mentioning that he is the designer.The style of an RPGnet review focuses primarily on product content. Considering that most marketing blurbs for a product are but a paragraph long, that's fine with me. A review by a designer also allows him to add designer notes, which some gamers enjoy reading. A review is also accompanied by a forum, which allows gamers to ask questions about the product (or even critique the review!). FWIW, I'm a regular reviewer on RPGnet, and am looking for good introductory low-level d20 adventures, as well as city settings. Feel free to email me at ced1105(at)aol(dot)com if you have a product you'd like reviewed!Cedric.aka. Washu! ^O^</blockquote>
