Rating User Summary
3 + 3Will HindmarchThieves in the Forest.
4 + 3Bradford C. WalkerThieves in the Forest.
4 + 3PookieThieves in the Forest. A perfunctory rather than exciting adventure for the new D&D, but with its improvements in appearance and layout, led the way for better and more interesting titles in Penumbra line.
3 + 3Aaron ThorneThieves in the Forest. An average adventure to start a new campaign, but not for the newbie gamemaster.
3 + 4Alex deMorrisThieves in the Forest. Designed as a basic introductory adventure, heroes investigate banditry that has been occurring around Brandon's Bridge. Meant for beginning players, this adventure has a very simple scope and plot that more advanced players may feel limited by.

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.
