Hello! I am asking you, the beautiful people who support and buy 3pp products to make a resolution to review more 3pp products this year! Here's my personal suggestion:
1. Post 1 review of a 3pp product each month on any site you can!
2. Spread out the joy. Each month pick a different company to write a review for.
3. Try to make at least half your reviews for a product that has 2 or fewer reviews posted!
Will you keep the resolution if you make it? Probably not! But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try and make this 203pp... or... umm...
Pretend I said something clever there.

Well, I'm actually planning to review (at least) one product a week, though not all of them will be 3pp products (I think, Paizo deserves some love as well), but if all goes well, I should have written way more than 12 3pp reviews at the end of 2016.
I can't guarantee for 2 and 3, though. I have to be a bit choosy about what to spend my money for, so I probably will tend to stick to those publishers I already know deliver a certain product quality and/or other reviewers I trust have already recommended. So no promises there.
Most publisher will provide review copies WormysQueue if they are requested.

Really? Sounds good, but I think that I'd rather review at least one product of a publisher first, so that he knows what he has to expect from me. I'm quite appreciative of the service 3pps deliver (OGL being one of the main reasons I'm a firm Paizonian), but I try to be honest (in a constructive way) about what I like and what not. And I wouldn't want a publisher to feel punished for having been awesomely generous.
But if I can fulfil my resolution, this may be good to know eventually :)
I'm like WormysQueue I was planning on 1 every other week, with 1 a week if I can make it.
I buy a LOT of 3PP product. Just on what I have I could do that, but of course I will get more. :)
Please do, guys. They're very appreciated.
(And like PDG said, very happy to provide review copies to reviewers.)
All the best.

As I stated on another related thread of this sort, I'll be writing considerably more 3PP reviews this year. It'll likely be a 50/50 mix of reviewing ones that I've already bought ... to comp'ed PDFs I've received from a 3PP in return for a promised review.
So far, I see Flaming Crab Games, Purple Duck Games and Four Dollar Dungeons all represented in this thread. And I can say with absolute 100% certainty, I have a quite a lot of each of their spectacular releases.
