Reception
In the June 1989 edition of Games International (Issue 6), Jake Thornton was not pleased with the production values of the book, noting that it was a "flimsy softback with a curled-up cover." He also noted that to properly understand the RPG and its rules, the player would need the first volume in this series of books. What rules there were in this volume he found ambiguous and lacking in cohesion. Thornton concluded by giving this book a very poor rating of only 1 out of 5.[2]
