This is a new feature of Pyramid -- a regular review column. There are a few points we should over before we actually start.
First, the rating system. I use a scale of 1 to 5. These ratings are based on the perceived value of the work. If I think a book or game is a waste of time and money, it will get a low rating. If I think a book or game was worth much more than its price, it gets a high rating. A summary of the ratings is given below.
1 -- Stop the Presses! Please!
2 -- Buyer's Regret
3 -- Worth the Price of Admission
4 -- A Fine Addition to the Library
5 -- Buy Buy Buy!I will endeavor to give you much more than just the rating to work with.
Secondly, if you have a product you want to see reviewed, send your e-mail request to montejon@mad.scientist.com. This is the same if you are the publisher of the work, or just someone wanting a second opinion. To ensure your e-mail doesn't die a horrible death, being thrown against the tender mercies of my SPAM filter, put a tag in the subject line, like this: [REVIEW].
If you want to comment on a review, you are best off using the Pyramid Discussion groups
Montejon Mutters will be published on the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month. The first four issues are a trial run. If you love (or hate) this feature, now is the time to speak up.
