Review Swapping

[Ishmayl-Retired]

It has come to certain peoples' attention that some of the Guild members here like to  'swap reviews.'  Constantly, we are seeing someone post in the Tavern, 'I just added xxxxxx to my yyyyyy campaign, and would like a review.'  Soon after, someone else comes along and says, 'I'll review your xxxxxx in your yyyyyy campaign if you'll take a look at my zzzzzz."  This is fine.  We have no problem with it.  In fact, it's an excellent idea.  Reviews are slack around here.  Some people are really, really trying to get them done, some people just simply don't care, and some people in the middle (such as myself) would love to read and review every single campaign here, but just don't have the time.  So this thread is now open for 'Review Swaps.' If you would like something in particular reviewed in your setting, just post here.  If someone else wants something reviewed in their setting, he/she can tell you, 'Hey Jimmy John, I'll review your new 'Planes of Unending Retail Hell Campaign' if you'll review my 'Esoteric-and-Strangely-Erotic Homebrew.'  That way, you both win.  Not to mention, with Reviewin' Season! in full swing right now, this is an excellent to 'rack up points.'

This will also be the first Purging Thread we have here.  The mods will be watching the thread, and once your request is answered, or two weeks pass, we'll purge those posts, so we can keep the most recent unanswered requests on top.

Keep in mind guys, this will only work if everyone participates fairly.  If you request a review, you need to offer your services as well, or other people will get ticked, and no one will want to look at your setting(s) anymore.

That's it.  Cheers!

Review Request Queue - Updated 10:50 PM, 2007.08.09

Adveria, or even just Delkun, for Poseidon

Aardvar-Dilandri, for Stargate

Avayevnon: A World Reborn, for Seraphine_Harmonium

Chiaros, for Bill Volk

Marit or Five Realms for Ravenspath


This is simply a list of the requests, and not an up-to-date list of who's reviewing whom.  Please post in this thread if your setting has been reviewed and/or you would like to remove it from queue.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

So the way I'll probably do this is, every day or so, I'll check to see if any new requests have been added, and I'll put them in a "queue" up top (in order of request).  If you review someone's request, please state that somewhere in the thread so I'll know to take it out of the queue.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

Also, if you request a review, please put the name of your campaign, as well as a link to its thread, in your request.  I unfortunately won't have time to hunt down every single one.

Thread updated and purged.  Cheers!

I'd appreciate a review from you. My campaign is called New Edom and here is the link. http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?24252

With the Tavern becoming the "please review xxxxxx" that it had been when this thread was created and in honor of Reviewin' Season; I am going to use one of my many awesome powers (the same power I will be using on a another thread in due time).

THREADSURRECTION!


Now down to business.

I will be willing to trade an overall review of a setting* or a more in depth review of a specific section for a review of Adveria or even just one of its nations, preferably Delkun.


Ishmayl if this thread stays active for a week or so, can we get a clean up of the first post. If I had the power I would have done it... :P


* Overall review will be more than just "Good work keep it up", but I will not promise as much as with a specific section.

SOLD! I'd like you to take a gander at Dilandri (link is the badge in my sig). I'll get that review of yours up tonight or tomorrow.

[Ishmayl-Retired]

Yes, I'll give this thread a clean-up tomorrow

[Seraph]

I guess I could give New Edom a once-over.  I guess I owe you that anyway since you've reviewed Avayevnon.  If you'd like to look at something there though, I'd welcome it.

[Stargate525]

Aye, will reciprocate with a review (or at least a section if yours is huge) anyone who reviews mine (bigger than a 'it's great' please).

My setting is no where near complete, but I would be happy to review anyone's campaign setting for an IOU to look at mine when it is done.

My setting is still sort of being pieced together, too, so I'll take Sirius up on his offer. I'd especially like advice for what to add to get players more involved, as I'm afraid it could turn into a vehicle for DM-wanks.

So, let me know what you think and where/when I can see your setting!

I am curious as to which of these review requests have already been paired off and dealt with, and which review requests still need to be looked at. Some of these posts appear to be addressing people whose posts were purged (or maybe I just can't interpret this correctly?)

Anyway, I'm looking for something to read. What's free?
