Your evaluation could be hooked up to any component of the database (RPG system, merchandise, problem, periodical, collection, setting) apart from a single article. The one situation is that the evaluation have to be posted first to this website. No truthful (or unfair) recopying the whole lot out of your weblog to win the competitors!

There are many methods to attain extra factors in your evaluations. You possibly can earn a further level in any (and all!) of the next methods:

Rating – You’ll rating one extra level for rating the rpg merchandise you could have reviewed within the rpg database and for making a touch upon the merchandise within the rating system. For those who’ve learn this far you’ll realise that each evaluation ought to be capable to rating two factors, one for the evaluation, one for rating the merchandise.

Excessive-level: By reviewing an RPG, periodical, collection, setting, or system. (Something other than an RPG merchandise or problem.) NOTE: For those who evaluation an RPG that has solely a single merchandise (and can solely ever have a single merchandise), and also you select to put your evaluation on the merchandise degree, you should still declare this bonus. Remember the fact that RPG (fairly than merchandise) evaluations are supposed to be complete and based mostly on precise play. Simply be sincere with your self about whether or not your evaluation deserves the bonus. We belief you!

Theme: Every month may have two themes. Get an additional level for evaluations that match both theme (max 2 per theme). Get a evaluation that matches each themes get 2 factors (and road cred, candy candy road cred) You get to determine whether or not you hit the theme. However do not be a jerk about it.

Consistency: Declare a bonus level for every of the primary two evaluations you publish throughout every calendar month.

Session: For those who submit a evaluation AND session report for a similar merchandise/RPG/and so forth. Each have to be listed beneath the identical database object to depend, and each have to be posted in 2020!

No earlier evaluations. I’ve determined to return to increasing the vary of evaluations on the Geek and thus an additional level shall be awarded if the merchandise reviewed has no earlier evaluations.

Size – Rating 1 extra level if the merchandise you might be reviewing is over 32 pages in size. The concept is to depend printed pages as you’d discover in a bodily merchandise, most pdfs depend pages like this. For those who discover a very uncommon merchandise ask. Rating an additional extra level if the merchandise is over 100 pages

Short-term Bonuses: I reserve the best to institute short-term level bonuses all year long to attach with different occasions on RPG Geek. These shall be introduced on this thread.
