Just curious: do you think Fight On! might benefit from some reviews of old school gaming products? That is, new products done for old school games or usable with old school games? I recently did a review on my blog of Rob Kuntz's The Living Room and plan to do one of The Original Bottle City soon. Both are very old school products that I think would be of interest to OD&D fans. I'm sure there are other products out there that readers of Fight On! might like to read.
What do you think?

Yes, definitely. I don't think this should be a major feature but we should have a couple of products each issue.
There are a lot of games that need reviewing. Right now there's a tentative plan to do Encounter Critical and Mazes & Minotaurs for issue 2 and then Tunnels & Trolls and Forward: to Adventure for issue 3. Modules and stuff would in a way make even more sense to review though. I don't know, the best way to see a review appear faster would be to write one and send one in.
All submitted reviews should be relevant to the core interests of the mag though.

Alrighty. Just curious. I tend to think of Fight On! as a spiritual successor to the early gaming mags I read back in the day and they always had tons of reviews. Somehow, the idea of an old school fanzine without reviews doesn't seem right.

I agree, James. We need to have reviews. I just think we should probably focus on good reviews (since it's not like there are lots of bad old school products being newly released now, and since we're trying to promote an 'old school renaissance') and I also think that given our size we should probably only have a few. But we should definitely have them.
