I’m sure my STR and DEX stats have started taking hits due to age and that’s an RPG joke to show you just how old school and old I really am if you get it. Also, I’m a roleplaying game GM (Gamemaster for those of you unfamiliar with the term) and have been for so many years that I’m almost certainly older than you. This project - and make no mistake, this is a project - came about because at some point I got a reputation for being nit-picky and a bit of a rant artist on Twitter. I’ll certainly tell you what I think and whether I think this is a product worth having and I’ll explain why or why not when the time comes. Maybe go look some of those up and enjoy them for what they are. However, those reviews are out there and I’m sure at least a few of them are done by people who have taken the time to do them properly. I’m never sure the reviewer has read and read thoroughly, or taken time to think about what they are reading. Reviews can, I suppose, be done to time with the release - or hit just after - if one can get things early but I’m suspicious automatically of anyone who can churn one out in the first week. Unboxings of a book are great if you like being read to from the front and back cover and maybe some bits of the interior. Flip-throughs are great for looking at the pretty art. Unfortunately, I have to sit down and read the thing before I can form a good, solid opinion. Get in early, get the views and clicks, and be done with it. Well-respected RPG and D&D sites, YouTubers, and podcasters have cracked the book open as quickly as possible and shared their thoughts with anyone who might be convinced to read or tune in. It’s now nearly May ’17 and there is no shortage of ‘unboxings’, flip-throughs, reviews, and more available across the internet.
