A good entry for a d20-based e-magazine. Too bad it now appears to be defunct.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

I've read Bradford Ferguson's reviews from when he wrote a bunch of d20 reviews for Silven Crossroads. I've grown to trust his judgment about d20 books and was intrigued when he started D20 Filtered. I downloaded the free September issue and thought it was really good, but was a little disappointed when they priced the PDF at $5. When they lowered the prices, I decided to buy the November and October issues and wasn't disappointed.

Basically, D20 Filtered has a bunch of d20 and D&D reviews with other stuff like interviews, articles about where d20 is headed, and exclusive samples of new or upcoming products. There's a team of reviewers that write reviews for the ezine and my favorites are Melissa Piper and Shane Cubis. I like Melissa's reviews because she seems unbiased and brings up details that other reviewers miss. Her reviews also have a very consistent style. Shane Cubis is always able to get to the heart of a product.

I especially liked the November issue because of the addition of Michael Tresca. I have quite a few d20 books and am always looking for new ways to put more of them to use, so his new column is useful. I liked reading the interview with Sean Reynolds after the controversy surrounding the launch of his new company. Anyhow, I like the direction that D20 Filtered is headed, and I would recommend it to people that are big into d20.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The interview with Sean Reynolds was interesting. The articles by Michael Tresca are funny and one of them, "Using Your d20 Library," really shows what you can do with your favorite d20 books. There were two articles about the d20 industry that seemed like a point-counterpoint that was revealing. One of them was optimistic and the one by Bradford Ferguson was more gloomy.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: There wasn't as much artwork in this issue, but there was a funny picture of Michael Tresca being attacked by his d20 books that made up for this.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
