Oh yeah. Good job, gentlemen!

Rock on.
So, to avoid this being solely a self-congratualtory thread, what can the reviews tell us? And since this is publishing, how can we leverage them successfully*.
Personally, from both reviews I notice that The Agency is pointed out as most like a normal RPG. Which I suppose is the point, but makes me think that maybe I failed to highlight the "quirky" bits as well as I could.
I'll add links to the reviews to the NPA site when I get back from Work tonight.

Hello,
Seems to me that cross-linking would still be as useful as it was back in the days when there was no RPG.net or Gaming Outpost or Google or Paypal.
Silven.com can be cited in the Resource Library here. People's websites can feature links to it with a nice blurb.
Back on those days, we used to have to work really, really hard to find stuff on the net. Most of the search engines weren't very powerful, and the best way to find stuff was to click from site to site. Webrings were a big deal. Although times have changed a bit, I still think this basic approach was a good one, and it retains its excellent quality of building mutualistic support.
Best,
Ron
