The Den Review/Analysis Threads Thread
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2012 6:24 am
This thread is for the collected in-depth Den reviews of published works. Expect a lot of snark and vitriol.
Anatomy of Failed Design dissects the failings of a particular subject and tries to put a finger on Where It Went Wrong, as a lesson in "How Not to Do It".
Old-School Sourcebook Reviews (OSSR) take a gander at the stuff that got published in yesteryear. The tentative benchmark for an OSSR is "10 years" but it varies, really. Stuff that's aged enough and has enough comparisons to give it a gimlet eye.
Drunk Reviews are (usually) for subjects so bad the reviewer has to have a good drink to make the world hurt less. A lot of times, there's overlap

There's a lot more out there--I know there were reviews of Attitude and War! from Shadowrun, and several threads about diplomacy and the like which I'm not going to attempt to sort through right now.

Old-School Sourcebook Reviews (OSSR) take a gander at the stuff that got published in yesteryear. The tentative benchmark for an OSSR is "10 years" but it varies, really. Stuff that's aged enough and has enough comparisons to give it a gimlet eye.
