I dont know who you are but if your tone of your reviews is like these posts, then let me say this:You may think there are too many publisher but I will happily say that we publishers think there are way too many twits with email and a keyboard who think they are professional critics. All I have ever asked for is a fair review and generally I think that happens. I dont care if you pan it. Just make sure to playtest it. And give a substantive review, not a flame. Thats all we publishers ask. Generally, after their first product a publisher will calm down about bad reviews. But most all will freak a bit at their first one. Its just natural. Let them freak. Give them a chance.It strikes me that while there needs to be professionalism from publishers, the same can be said of reviewers too. Oh and by the way unless I know you, you dont get a review copy. With the 10,000 reviewers who have popped up since 3E I would give away my stock in review copies if I actually gave a copy to everyone who asked. In fact, there was a time I thought people were starting review sites just to scan free 3E stuff.Clark</blockquote>
