When someone is deciding whether to buy a book, but can't flip through a copy or ask a friend who has read it, the first place they are likely to go is their favourite search engine. However, when I google “GURPS $title review” I usually get more torrent sites than actual reviews. Lets change that.

How to Be a GURPS GM: Review by Dan D. http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/16/16157.phtml

So zero to two reviews is most common. Who is willing to commit to reviewing a SJG roleplaying product and posting it on some venue visible to search engines and not hosted by Steve Jackson Games? I have already published at least one and can think of a place to put another under a handle which I do not use here.

Do you know of reviews, or absences of reviews, for any other SJG roleplaying products? Feel free to add them here.

Similarly, if you post a review under a handle which you don't mind linking to your handle here, feel free to come back here and boast!

(Relevant threads: Raise a million for GURPS and the 2014 Report to the Stakeholders where for the first time GURPS was absent from the list of the top 40 products by value sold).
