Rating User Summary
5 + 4The UnshavenMonsters and Other Childish Things. Startlingly impressive, rich and simple system with a brilliant underlying concept. Anyone who enjoys black humour, Calvin & Hobbes, and Lovecraftian horrors will find this worth a look.
4 + 4San Dee JotaMonsters and Other Childish Things. Monsters and Other Childish Things is Benjamin Baugh’s game of children and the horrible, monstrous beings that love them, as powered by a self-contained variant of the One Roll Engine used in such games as Wild Talents and Nemesis. So make sure you have ten ten-sided dice, because there’s adventure to be had.
5 + 5The UnshavenMonsters and Other Childish Things: The Completely Monstrous Edition. Takes all of the brilliance of the 1st Edition, and proceeds to better it into a truly wonderful incarnation. Startlingly impressive, rich and simple system with a brilliant underlying concept. Anyone who enjoys black humour, Calvin & Hobbes, and Lovecraftian horrors will find this worth a look.
4 + 5JimmieBJrMonsters and Other Childish Things: The Completely Monstrous Edition. A wonderfully creepy games about kids and the monsters who love them and occasionally eat teachers for them
5 + 5C.W.RichesonMonsters and Other Childish Things: The Completely Monstrous Edition. Play a kid and the monster that loves you in this excellent game of monster fights and growing up.
5 + 5stuffisMonsters and Other Childish Things: The Completely Monstrous Edition. A rambunctious Buffy/Veronica Mars/Calvin'n'Hobbes/Sideways Stories mashup offering palpable mood, exhilarating central premise, skillful writing, intuitive and effective presentation, and great GM/player advice. Bravo.
4 + 5Darren MacLennanMonsters and Other Childish Things: The Completely Monstrous Edition. It's a brilliant, versatile game - Calvin and Hobbes with Lovecraftian monsters - written with a puckish sense of humor. If it just had a central theme to explore, it would be a masterpiece.

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.
