[QUOTE="mouselim, post: 7655456, member: 6687986"] So if EN World is also to have a review for DMG 3.5, what score will it receive? If it gets a 3.5/5, does it mean that DMG 5E is better than DMG 3E? What are scores if not relative? Anyway, I had reviewed fantasy novels before and aren't there some stories that left a bad taste in your mouth after completing it? You'll felt that it will have been a perfect story if this and that were covered or it would have been wonder if that entire section didn't take place. Isn't this what review is all about? Furthermore, when I reviewed the DMG, I did not just assumed that the audience is me but what it will mean to a DM, both inexperience and experienced and anyone in-between. How often the DM will reach out for it on the shelf of all his books and how the materials will last the entire lifespan of the game. Has sufficient work been done on it (If Shadowrun 5th edition is a total rehash of the 4th, will it still be a perfect score?) and how it is presented. There are fluffs, actually quite too much of it in the DMG. There are also too much inconsistency (e.g. page 9, "The World is a Mundane Place" and then if this is the case, how will it affect healing?) and materials that are incompete (siege equipment are detailed but where are the siege rules?) Again, I'm not saying that it is a bad book and that it totally missed its mark but it definitely can be better and when I see a score that shows 94% and trending upwards against better books which are languishing in the 70 and 80 score regions, I had to voice out.
