[QUOTE="maransreth, post: 1299344, member: 4390"] I do know that there was talk about a print review magazine for all d20 products, but it was shelved due to costs, etc. I think a pdf magazine of pdf products would be a great idea! BUT who would run the magazine (publisher, site or independant individual), would it be pay or free, how often would it be available? These would probably have to be ironed out before it could be considered. Personally I don't think it would work as well as would be expected after a period of time. Why? Lack of time or other more pressing concerns. When a new idea is proposed, a number of people will jump on the bandwagon and claim that they have time. Reviews would be done on time, etc but over time the reviewers would be pressed for time (as happens now on a number of review websites) and find that their review piles are growing. Don't get me wrong, I think it would be a great idea and hope it would do well, but I think a number of items need to be ironed out beforehand and then a large number of reviewers are needed to ensure that reviews are done on time. Also publishers might need to release the pdf to the magazine staff BEFORE it went on sale at RPGnow to ensure that when the review was released, people would read it when it was still new and fresh to the community. Just a few random thoughts. Duane [/QUOTE]
