[QUOTE="Goodreviewsonly, post: 66235, member: 3088"] I don't post to threads much. Basically here's how I see it: EnWorld is being run by people who like D&D and want to provide a service to their fellow gamers. Their time is limited. Most of the review links recently (used to click through on about half of the links each day until maybe a few weeks ago when it started to get bad)have been terrible. To be OK a review could: 1. Describe what's in the book. or 2. Give an opinion about the book. A lot of these places (someone mentioned AtFantasy) just don't. Having watched the situtation recently (and apparently I'm not alone since this thread got started) the natural conclusion is that a number of web pages are basically using the reviews section as a free ad. And they aren't even bothering to write a review! [edited out a part related to time and effort; apparently its not a time thing. If there were no time or effort required to put this up then I'd be strictly indifferent to the reviews section continuing. I presume Morris and co's time is limited and could probably be better spent elsewhere; given the recent crop of reviews that elsewhere could probably be just about anywhere.] To answer the second question The review's section is generally very good. A number of the rarer D&D products aren't included. I've seen the campaign setting by Gygax from Troll Lord here in Tokyo; which means its been out for a while. There's no section for a review here.
