[QUOTE="Psion, post: 22062, member: 172"] Uh, No. I "slammed" you you for rating down an excellent product on the basis that it didn't fit [i]your[/i] specific nonstandard cosmology, which should not be a basis for any recommendation to anyone else. When I say "my rating is subjective", I was specifically refering to the numerical rating. I try to analyze various points of a book, but in the end, which points are important to you may not be the same ones that are important to others. When I assign a weight to the various factors to cobble it down to a number. But really, each person has their own weights and properly, what is a 4 to one person could be a 2 to another. But you will never see me rate a product down simply because it didn't fit the specifics of my campaign. Case in point from your precious, Mongoose. Chaos Magic totally does not work for the magic assumptions in my game; I already have a very exacting idea of what "primal magical energy" is and how it works. But I gave the product a 4 because it was interesting and well considered. I repeat: applicability to ones personal campaign should NEVER be a criteria for making review recomendations to anyone else. Ever. [/QUOTE]
