[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 1724002, member: 20741"] I bought Dundjinni based on reviews. OTOH, I have recently bought Sov Press DragonLance books sight unseen as I am a fan of the product line. I avoid books that have a bad review and negative word of mouth. A "bad" review is more persuasive than a "good" one. But either opinion combined with a similar buzz online is enough to "seal the deal" for me. Overall - especially for non-WotC releases where even KNOWING about the product is most of the battle, reviews matter a great deal to me. In that regard, there was a post by one of the folks at Paizo that attempted to justify not reviewing 3rd party D20 or other non-WotC D&D products in their pages based on "limited appeal" to their readers. That, gentlemen is not a genuine policy. That's sophistry. You are doing a great disservice to your readers and I was not impressed. Quality third party products deserve to be brought to the attention of all gamers. [/QUOTE]
