Like others, it's typically when I'm sitting on the fence--that usually means that the concept has intrigued me and now I'm wondering if the execution is strong. But, like other forms of entertainment, concept is king. No matter how good the reviews, if the concept doesn't have an audience, the book won't see extensive sales.ENnies nominations have also gotten me to make purchases, perhaps even better than reviews. In fact, the presence of a well-done set of awards and consistent reveiwer base is one of the advantages of playing d20 since I have a way to find the hidden gems and more confidence that my purchases will turn out interesting or useful.</blockquote>
