[QUOTE="Luddite, post: 1160526, member: 4099"] Going back to the "positve and negitive" review. Let me sort of demonstrate my "buying process." -> Did Monte Cook write it? Yes, then it is on the "Will buy" list -> Did MC publish it but not author? Yes, then on the "Most likely will buy" -> Is this some cool Licensed Setting that I am a fan of? (ie B5) move to "Fan Budget" Now that the auto-buys are out of the way... It now depends on the topic of the book. In general, a product that scores a lot of 5's from "trusted" reviewers will get a serious look by me. And i would consider buying it even if I had no use for it. When I am looking for some type of new rule system (like Naval Comabat) I will shop around. See which style I like. I will use the reviews to get a feel for the product, but I may choose the 3 over the 4 simply becuase I liked one particular aspect of that book. I think I start ignoring products that start getting into the 2 range. Unless it is one of my Auto-Buys. (but then rarely do my Auto-buys get 2's :) ) So a 3 to me means. A solid product, but not something that I must have. Unless I am looking for information that it will be providing. -gustavef [/QUOTE]
