Even when people either don't have the time or inclination to write a fully detailed/structured review, I like to see them post a few paragraphs about a given RPG/supplement. At least it might spark some conversation, or trigger questions, whatever. Might even lead to a full review from one user or another, who knows?
So, I like these mini-reviews. I'll write some too. :)
What do you think? Pro or against mini-reviews?
I agree. I really enjoyed the recent mini-reviews. I sometime forget to read the long(er) reviews, because they are put in the review-forum, but the smaller ones in the main rpg-area I catch.
So keep 'em coming.
I'm fine with them.
I have the attention span of an ADD child on amphetamines, so I'm all for them.

It's like a plague.
I, too, like mini-reviews. Really long reviews tend to make my eyes glaze over. Usually the length of a review makes little to no difference in whether or not I'm interested in a product.
Wish I could do a funny Batman panel, but I lacks the skillz.
Anyhoo, keep the mini-reviews coming!
That, and stop talking about Runequest II; thanks to all that hooplah going on now, I"ve started on the slippery slope by getting the core book and the Vikings supplement just today.

I do these in batches on my blog, usually three at a post. I had reserved them to smaller books and supplements, but occasionally handle larger books the same way.
Brevity is the soul of wit, but I prefer in-depth reviews where they are appropriate. They aren't easy to write, of course. A good detailed review is anything but that.
I like mini reviews. If it sounds interesting, questions can be asked to get a better feel. Reading other people's lengthy reviews bore me and I usually just skip right to the conclusion at the end. I imagine most people probably do the same with my reviews as well.

Hah! Good one!
I like mini-reviews, too. I do think they should be posted in the reviews section so they will be easier to find.
Ah, to wit:

Mini-reviews that spark discussion threads are good stuff.
I will post one later this week.

That is, to my mind, the point of having them and having them in this section.

I agree. I'm much more likely to read the mini-review than a whole lengthy one. I'm another who often skips to the conclusion or final thought of lengthy reviews.
