[QUOTE="zacharythefirst, post: 4375275, member: 30941"] For me, most products get at least that amount of time. With late-night readings, reading while waiting to go into work each day, I've often figured the time on a book is anywhere from 3-8 hours (as some books/products are much larger than others). In the close categories or really close decisions, or if I felt I didn't get something, multiple rereads were in order. I also made it a goal to playtest as many products as I could this year, even if for only a single session. I feel actual play is hugely important for me in my judging process of how a game plays and inspires/enhances gaming. With 3 gaming groups to draw on (2 online), I managed to playtest almost everything (but not quite everything) we got in. Items I just couldn't get in playtest I made sure got the most thorough reading possible. My goal for next year, if elected, is 100% playtesting, and I think I can do it. Not easily, but I can do it. And, of course, I'm happy to field any questions here or at my blog (see sig). [/QUOTE]
