[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 67152, member: 3060"] A couple of people have commented on the quality of reviews posted by others. If I may make a suggestion regarding this, typically every review writer has an email link on the review. If there is something you like or don't like about the style of the review or even the contents of the review, email that person but please keep it civil and polite. As a person who regularly pens a review column for the d20 Magazine Rack, I welcome comments, be they positive or negative, about my reviews. If there is something you liked about a particular review, great! Let me know. If you thought a review sucked, tell me that also. But tell me why you thought it sucked while you're at it. It helps me see if I am doing something right and it helps me see if I am doing something wrong. For instance, I now grade my reviews on the basis of amount of Open Content because I had several requests to add that to my grading criteria. Believe it or not, most of the serious review sites/columns want to provide you the consumer with the information that will help you make an informed decision on whether to buy the product in question. The best way to look at D&D reviews is just like a movie review. Some folks will think it is great and others think it is the stinker of the year. Just look at the split reaction on Star Wars Episode One. Some loved it, some hated it. Take everything you read with a grain of salt. Back to the topic on hand, however. This is one of the strongest reasons why the links to the various reviews should be kept on the main announcement page. If I am thinking about buying Quintessential Fighter for example, it's nice to be able to read a cross-section of reviews over the course of a couple of weeks to get a feel whether I really want it. The more information available, the better informed everyone becomes... Keep up the good work Morrus!!! [/QUOTE]
