Rating User Summary
4 + 5Eosin the RedYou Gotta Have Character. You Gotta Have Character is my favorite kind of book — one that examines personalities from history that are so funky-cool, messed up that you just have to find a way to work them into your game. This book has a character that you will want to use no matter what game system you use or genre you play. It can’t get any simpler than that.
4 + 4ghost-angelYou Gotta Have Character. Descriptions of twenty-three historical figures, complete with notes on how to transplant them into any genre.
3 + 3The Metal PopeYou Gotta Have Character. You Gotta Have Character is an interesting NPC book, with very detailed backgrounds provided for each of the characters presented, but its limited selection and unwillingness to focus on one time period limits its usability in a campaign that doesn’t include time-travelling

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.
