8 / 10JDCorleyExcellent addition to the line.
6 / 10SkiorhtLeans a bit heavily on the gun-bunny side, with too little information on the place of Mythos in the modern world. The scenarios are of mixed quality, with "Dreams Dark and Deadly" being great, while the others are less wonderful.
4 / 10g026rInteresting and well-written, but by now woefully out of date.

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.
