I think I am in the norm of publishers not the odd man out.*An example is a reviewer stated he did not like that our book Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed: Siege on Ebonring Keep did not convert the info to d20 or have info on X monster when it was clearly stated on the cover it is an OGL book and requires Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed so we got marked down for that, that gets a bit frustrating, but again if you read the book and explained the book with understanding I am OK with any score given.  The fact that we got lower marks because we did not do something that the reviewer should know was not a part of the book is just plain unusual(IMHO).</blockquote>
