Tuesday Reviewsday, vol. 3

February 2, 2016 Rave, Reviewsday

One of my aims for 2016 is to leave more reviews for the products I love. Every Tuesday I’ll be writing reviews on the applicable store.

Today’s picks are:

– [Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide](href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786965800/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0786965800&linkCode=as2&tag=johnaugustcom-20&linkId=7TO5PVW2MG6NC7SU”) (Amazon) Yes, it’s D&D. This book isn’t a manual or even an adventure, but rather a guide to the history and culture of Forgotten Worlds, one of the main D&D campaign settings.

– [Howard BBC012 Butcher Block Conditioner](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ESTA30/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ESTA30&linkCode=as2&tag=johnaugustcom-20&linkId=N5ANYC76Y2MDRW55) (Amazon) In my experience, it’s a lot better than plain mineral oil.

– [You Must Remember This](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/you-must-remember-this/id858124601?mt=2) (podcast) As good as everyone says. Karina Longworth’s podcast on Hollywood history is fun and fascinating.

If you’re looking for something to review, many readers are probably familiar with some of the things we make, including [Highland](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/highland/id499329572?mt=12), [Weekend Read](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weekend-read/id502725173?mt=8) and [Writer Emergency Pack](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R6ZLIOY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00R6ZLIOY&linkCode=as2&tag=johnaugustcom-20&linkId=KG2OFS7AER67FMGO).

Podcasts are especially review-dependent, because they signal to the powers at iTunes to feature certain shows. A review for [Scriptnotes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/scriptnotes-podcast/id462495496?mt=2) would be much-appreciated.
