Gabor and Prince are great, but your reviews (whether adventures, systems, or mechanics) are, without a doubt, the best being generated right now. This is fantastic stuff.

Howdy Vic, that's high praise - thanks!

I (like to) think that we're all filling a niche. Bryce puts out an incredible amount of volume, but doesn't go too far in depth. Having someone like this is really nice to filter out the modules worth playing/reviewing.

Gabor's writing is a lot tighter, and provides a lot of insight and historical context while still being of digestible length.

Prince gets heavier than Gabor analysis wise, and his writing can have an offputting tone / political slant, but I think he has a lot of good insights. He also specializes in reviewing the original modules, which I think is extremely valuable.

I try to crank the analysis up to 11, overexplain, and massively hyperlink. Not everyone is looking for reviews that are significantly longer than the original works, and the reviews take me a lot of time, so my output is *a lot* lower. That said, I try to make sure my posts are evergreen, and serve as useful reference for years to come. I think that strategy is working - I get a pretty consistent 100 view/day even when I haven't written a post in 3-4 months, which (I think) means that people keep coming back and re-reading.
