I read posts from various people about upcoming products and then again when they "have it in their hands". IF they are posters like at NEcromancer messageboards I will likely buy something they recommend without reading a review. Fro example I just bought Black Ice Well because of their recommendations.When they say it is OK or "good, but..." I will then come here to see what Psion and Joe have said as a kind of swing vote. Like I have yet to buy the Conan RPG because I am waiting for the second printing. If I had bought that book and then found all of those problems I probably would have banned Mongoose product for the rest of my life. Since i came here and read the reviews and then saw what Mongoose Matt said I stayed happy and have patiently waited for the second printing.So yes, reviews do influence my buying and I have written 6 reviews myself, but I tend to stay away from reviewing product I can't give at least a 3/5 to.Plus I am interested more in content material rather than art or the count for mis-spellings, or botched 3.0 to 3.5 conversions. Wrong/missing tables or maps will irritate me though, or missing NPC write-ups, that kind of thing. Plus I would really like to see more Table of Contents and indexes. I actually use those things.</blockquote>
