10 / 10FlexiExcellent Chaosium supplement on the inhuman folk of Melnibone. Rich detail on culture and tradition. Beautiful descriptions of geography and locations. Useful digest of stats for characters and creatures. The two imaginative scenarios on time travel and a ghostly dream city are superb. Great stuff indeed!

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
