Reception[]

In the July 1990 edition of Games International (Issue 16), the reviewer was very positive about this product, saying that it provided "a fairly detailed feudal medieval background [...] What a shame that AD&D is so ill-suited to such a game... Still worth getting for the background material."[2]
