So, there are no reviews of the game yet on the OTT game review section… hence my question.

And I guess I’m confused by your recommendation… are you saying “don’t bother posting on the forums” and just poll FB for feedback? I’m not really looking for knee-jerk reactions from people mad on FB that the game had errata within the first month of release (re: SPQR). I was looking for some more rational comparisons from a community that has potentially less ranting and raving (yes, I know I’m still on the internet, so all comments to be taken with salt).

And I get that OTT isn’t responsible for thoroughly playtesting every game that they review. That said, if there are game that grab the attention and interest of the crew (and the community) I’d expect to see more content regarding those games. The FB fanpages and such are generally good source of updates and rules queries, but they don’t tend to have a lot of comparison between games as they are generally being organized by fans and it would be quite unusual for the folks running the SPQR fan page to say “hey, check out Mortal Gods, it might be superior”… lol.
