[QUOTE="shaylon, post: 2692484, member: 22867"] I just want to say that based on some of the comments here I think people are getting the wrong idea about the reviews on this site. You are always going to get trolls writing reviews because of x, y , or z reason, anywhere you go. This site has some great staff reviewers and I have personally purchased things solely on what reviewers here have said about the product. It is rare in those cases that I wind up being disappointed. As far as the "professional" reviewers comments are concerned it hasn't been an issue that I have seen, at least not here. I could honestly care less whether or not a person got a pdf for free and reviewed it or if they paid the full price for it. It doesn't matter to me. As long as the review is fair (which as I mentioned has not been an issue that I have noticed) then it doesn't bother me. Opinions of products will vary but after you read enough of them you figure out that there is a reviewer that is close enough of a match to what you like and you pay more attention to what they review. D20 has brought us a ton of material in the past 5 years, some great, some poor, but I guarantee you that there are things that I thought were terrible that someone is playing right now and having a great time. If you don't know the reviewers, and aren't sure what to expect from them, do yourself a favor and read a review of something that you already have and see if it closely matches your thoughts on the product. If you start seeing a pattern, then that is your reviewer. If you think the reviewer is a tool that doesn't know what they are talking about, keep searching. -Shay [/QUOTE]
