Well, the offer is out there. If any takers want, they only need to let me know.  :)

I am just not really sure what is expected: comments on the product, the rules, the historical side of things... all of that?

Knightmare wrote two reviews of TRO 3085 and TRO 3085 Supplemental.

Perhaps those can provide a rough frame on how to do such a review.

Product Reviews are just that - reviewing the Product. For example, if I were reviewing H:RW I would first create for myself some bullet-discussion points. Things like, book art, story, the new rules, mistakes, would you buy it or not buy it, etc. I'd provide both an unbiased and then biased opinion as a fan of BT.

They're not great examples because I wrote them rushed, but they're ok for a general idea.

I'm heading up to the Automobile State this weekend, but hopefully once I'm back, I'll start chipping away on the two product reviews and three article ideas I've had recently.

Don't know if anyone is still interested in doing these or not...

Not really sure. I found after starting a few that I didn't have much to say. I try to avoid forcing my opinion as fact, and setting aside a few facts I could state, that pretty much led to my reviews being about four sentences. ;)

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
