    A site content update is coming up in the next few days. I don't have much time at the moment so it probably won't amount to much more than putting all the stuff submitted since the last site update online, but still.

    We have many people posting on our boards regularly and playing various mods, but very few people have been volunteering to write mod reviews lately. Since we could definitely use more, and I know there are many people posting on our boards capable of writing quality reviews, please check this thread for more information about what we expect and how you can apply. Get involved, folks - this is also another way of giving something back to the community.

    The Prologue and Chapter 1 of our Baldur's Gate Online Solution by Ron het Lam are done, so please check them out and send Ron any suggestions you might have. Keep in mind that the solution is still a work in progress and that many things will be changed or added before the end, so now is a good time to get involved with your comments and suggestions.

    I may be the author of just one (lousy) review but I'd like to say this.

    The BG and NWN series have a huge number of mods being made for them. It’s damn difficult to decide if one would be willing to install a mod and play it in a manner whereby a review would make sense.
    It would help matters greatly if you were to put up a list of mods that people have asked to be reviewed and which you would wish to be put up on the site.

    There's not much sense in reviewing NWN modules (unless they're special in some way), NWVault has reviews for pretty much all of them, and there are simply way too many of them.

    As for other games, ANY mod not reviewed yet is up for review. This is totally up to the reviewer. There's a thread you can check in the Mod Reviews forum where people have posted some review requests, but really, there are so many different mods out there that people play that the selection is enormous. Logically it makes sense to have reviews of the most frequently played mods first though, but it's common knowledge which those are. And we're still missing many of them.
