9 / 10SteveBowenGURPS historical supplements have a reputation as providing a good overview of the times and places that they cover. I purchased GURPS Imperial Rome to get an overview of Roman history, geography and culture. It certainly delivered. I cannot imagine that there exists a more readable, more concise introduction to the Roman Empire. If you want to learn more about Rome, I cannot recommend this book enough.

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.
