Oh. Em. Gee.
I've been too busy with my day-job to put together more reviews recently, but I did cross-post my Remarkable Races Submerged: The Sunken Relluk to DriveThruRPG.com. I was going to cross-post my other reviews as well, but that site doesn't allow me to post unless I own a copy from their service. It'd be nice if they had the feature Amazon does of distinguishing between those who have a "Verified Purchase" and other reviewers, but oh well.
I've been choosing which products to review more or less at random, but going forward, I'll try to focus on products that are currently sitting at 0-1 reviews.
@Malwing, good luck! I'm sitting on over 160 products yet to review, and don't imagine I'll finish by the end of the year, by which time I'll almost definitely have plenty more added to the pile. x.x

I posted my second review last night. If I ever want to get through all the products I've bought, I need to shorten them significantly!

Malwing: Thats a nice sized list you have there!
Also: Meh, i also need to break down and write a few short ones for a few of my favorites. You are a horrible inspiration that makes me do Work! =(

Next one. When I started this, I wanted to write less then Endzeitgeist did in his reviews. Well, I failed even while building up on his thoughts...
Magic Diseases by Rogue Genius Games (Bullet Point subseries)
Have fun!

My Rule Zero: Underlings review is now up on RPGnet.
I also reviewed Way of the Wicked, Book One, over a year ago as well.
As the latter was read over 2,000 times, this is a great way to generate spotlight.

5 more today. Mostly the Thunderscape supplement books. Those are some of my favorite third party classes and they get a fat amount of support from the supplement PDFs. But still that's five off of that really long list.

I'm hoping the inspiration I'm feeling right now results in some reviews from me, so I'm dotting this. Keep up the good work, all.
My list isn't like Malwing's, but it's grown by leaps and bounds lately - I need to pay it forward.
I have posted my first two reviews. I have bought most things over the past two years from here and d20pfsrd. Is it possible to post reviews at drivethrurpg without shopping there?

Others have said no - but you might be able to post reviews at Amazon if the books available there.

You can post a review on d20pfsrd Open Gaming Store or Paizo without having purchased the product from that site. At Drivethrurpg (aka OBS or One Book Shelf), you have to have purchased the product from that site to review it. I, too, purchase most of my books through d20pfsrd, primarily because of the philanthropy that John and Debbie have done to help gamers in need and how nice he's been to me when I've contacted him.

John is an awesome guy.

Okay I'm working on the rest of the PDFs on my tablet but I realized that my list has no real rhyme or reason so I wanted to offer this:
If you have a product that's on my big list and does not have a review, let me know and I'll put it on my priority list which is essentially my 'review first' list which I'll begin once I'm done with the things on my tablet. Currently Book of Heroic Races Compendium is the only thing on my priority list.
Greedy of me but I'll also put gifts on my priority list.
Otherwise I'll just review things in the order that they appear on my computer.
I'm also going to slow down this week and by next week will make a number of reviews each weekday based on how long it takes to read them thoroughly at a rate of about 100 pages a day.

Wahoo!!!

Thank you for reviewing!
Anyone want to review any of the Bite Me! lycanthrope line by Misfit Studios, drop me a message with your rpgnow email addy. We have weremantises coming up soon for the line.
No one wants to take me up on comp review copies of Playing Lycanthropes, Wereblooded, Skindancers, and such?

Four dollar dungeons. Endzeitgeist has done better reviews for these than I ever could. Read. Buy. Play. Repeat. Especially Marina and the upcoming holy island.

I would, especially as a guy in my Plunder & Peril game has been afflicted by a werecrocodile, but the review would be a while away. If the offer stands when I'm done with my current list (consisting mainly of Flaming Crab stuff), I'll take you up on it.

Please do! Also, we have a werecrodile manuscript heading to editing soon.
I try to get a small review out on everything I buy. The things I have particularly strong feelings about I bust out a word document and review section by section.

I'm trying not to overcommit to reviews: I have a lot on my plate right now, which makes it a bit harder, so I want to get my current books done before I do any more.

Many thanks :-)
Holy Island is out now, BTW:

I thought I'd post a list of Flaming Crab books that don't have reviews yet (on Paizo, anyway). At least 10 people have free copies of each book, since Alex always gives away 10 books with each new release.
Advanced Archetypes II
Bosco's Spell Compendium (which is free to everyone)
The Demon Shaman Base Class
Hunter Archetypes
Of course, we're also glad for any other books you might like to review as well!
Just two more today but they were relatively long books. Look em up in my profile. They were previously unreviewed on Paizo.

I was about to start working my way through all the freebies I picked up from Flaming Crab Games. I'll start with those ones! (Actually, I'll do Cavalier Archetypes first, since I'm halfway through re-reading it and it's bloody amazing.)

Cool! I worked on Construct Companion, so I very much appreciate your taking the time to review it.
Reviews of The Entobian and Eldritch Conjuror are up. Sadly, the EC earned my first 1-star review. I was kinda looking forward to it, too. =[

Hey Christina, I bought and reviewed Bite Me! Wereblooded. I'm curious about the rest of the line because I have a recurring campaign setting with a lot of lycanthropes. Now from the Strange Brew kickstarter I have a b&w softcover copy of Bite Me! The Gaming Guide for Lycanthropes coming at some point and I have some confusion about what's in it. From what I can tell from Bite Me!'s kickstarter (I wasn't a part of that) the current Bite Me products are eventually going to be a part of the softcover book. If that's true and I can prove that I got the kickstarter book coming to me do you think I can get a copy of some of the Bite Me! pdfs for review?
Malwing, I will happily send you the pdfs for review. I'm trying to get the last bit of the Book through layout, but it will be comprised of what we have released plus more. Additionally, we have advanced race versions of weres coming out over the next few months. They will eventually be compiled in another book.

Well, starting on my reviewing career, I reviewed Tome of Twisted Things from Little Red Goblins. Ok I admit, I reviewed the avenger, but he's the reason I bought the book (thanks, Endzeitgeist).
My reviews won't be long, and will deal with more of train of thought I got from reading the book rather than supreme number crunching/in-depth analysis. I expect I will do a small product every couple of days and do more likeable ones with small number of reviews firstly.
EDIT - a question for reviewers, how do you review adventures. Mostly I've seen either going in details like Endz, or just saying it was great. When it comes to adventures I admit, I tend to look at critics 'cause bad spots are more important to see IMO. But I've only read all the adventures I bought, haven't run through any of them so cannot (usually) tell bad spots from just reading for fun.
Today's reviews: Bosco's Spell Compendium and Cavalier Orders, both from Flaming Crab Games.
The next one:
Ongoing Investigations: Character Options for Investigators by Necromancers of the Northwest
Have fun!

I only buy what I can use and only review what I have read so I have a very limited 3PP collection at the moment. As it is, I find myself gravitating towards certain companies like Raging Swan, Dreamscarred Press, Fat Goblin, Rogue Genius Games, etc. Doing my best to do more reviews.

Glad to hear it, my friend ^_^ I know it's always exciting on my end to see a new review up. Terrifying, but exciting.

Covenant Magic: Further Covenants reviewed! It's not strange to review the third book in a series without reviewing the first two is it?
Thanks to Malwing and co for providing so many reviews these past few weeks! It makes me wish I had more money!!

Based on the review, I'm probably going to buy this! Tell them to send you a kickback. :)

It don't think so. In other media that happens all the time. People will review an issue of Amazing Spider-man without having reviewed Amazing Fantasy 15. All that I think is appropriate for that kind of review is familiarity with the original release.
I think someone review Covenant Magic: Further Covenants without having read Legendary Classes: Covenant Magic would be deeply, deeply confused.

I have a side question; How often have any of you bought something as a result of a good review or avoided something due to a bad review?
Ii know that although I look for things to fill a viod or appease a need I do rely on reviews because I loathe to modify and house rule too often so try to get stable products.
