Reviews Moderators?

Hey Crothian, since you seem to be the go to guy for Reviews stuff, thought I'd mention that the new World of Darkness core book has two apparently identical entries. URLs are:

http://www.enworld.org/reviews.php?do=product&productid=119427

I noticed when I went to see if the book was even in the system. I've been playing WoD for the first time at the gaming club this month and am considering writing a review of it.

Thanks for pointing that out, taken care of

Thanks for taking care of it, Crothian.

Now to find out if it's any easier to write a review of a product I have used in a game than it was to write one for a product I'd only read.

 

[Crothian]

its about the same I've found. Sure the in game review seems pbetter but I've found that not the whole book gets used so I can only comment about certain parts of the book that way and then the review weighs more heavily on those parts then the others.

I was afraid you'd say something like that.

So far I'm finding the playtest type review to be more difficult to write. My text keeps trying to drift away from being a review and towards being a story hour instead, and I'm having a difficult time seperating my opinion of the mini-campaign I played in from my opinion of the game system overall.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I really admire you folks who manage to write reviews on a regular basis.

It is hard to do on a regular basis. I have to force myself to sit down and read and write them. It is easy to get burnt out on them.

Keep at it, take your time and I'm sure it will come oput good in the end. Reviews are different writign style and take some time to get used to as it is.
