This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Requesting reviews

I wasn't sure where to post this, as the review forum looks like it's for official reviews only, and not solicitations.

So how does one go about requesting a review?

Thanks.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Interesting question. Hadn't thought about that. I guess the first step were I to request some reviews would be to create a specific thread on the Roleplaying Games general forum to discuss the game/supplement, asking opinions about it and whatnot, and then slip in a particular request for more elaborate reviews, maybe?

Or did you mean a request directed at a particular user/bunch of users instead? I'd PM them in this case.

No, it doesn't matter who does the review, I was just wondering how to do an open submission.  I was hesitant to put it in general because I wasn't sure if that was the wrong place.

Well it'd be kinda lame to just post an OP with "please review this" on the general RPG forum, but if you go about it with the intent to spark discussion on the thread first and asking if someone would be interested in writing a formal review about it second, then it's cool. Like "I'm interested in game/supplement X, what do you think of it, do you play it, what are your experiences with it... oh and btw, anybody interested in writing a review? I'd be thankful". So you have the thread sparking discussion, and you made your request at the same time, see what I mean?
