[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 2451698, member: 2268"] Don't see where. Or why the review section should be shut down either. Last time I checked it, reviewers were giving a summary of the contents of an adventure, and then were giving [b]their opinion[/b] about it. Just that, contrary to some posts here, reviews are acknowledged as the reviewer's opinion on the matter, and not the "ultimate truth" on matters of adventure design. Yeah, but the points where they lack, or not, are still up to personal opinion, apart from being highly dependent on the outlook on adventures and roleplaying 20 years ago, which probably differs a little from todays. :p And that's wrong. Your opinion holds as little or as much weight as others grant to it. Otherwise, we could simply close down the review section of ENWorld, because nobody cares about what those whacky reviewers write anyway. ;) It's just grating on my nerves that some people waltz around, sounding like they are the last authority on adventuring design while backhandedly insulting other people's tastes.
