Contents

Big Rubble: The Deadly City describes "The Rubble", 25 square kilometres of supposedly treasure-filled ancient ruin that surrounds the small town of Pavis.[1] The supplement includes[2]

  • 16-page booklet Common Knowledge for the Players
  • 32-page Guide for the Gamemaster
  • 92-page Episodes for the Gamemaster, containing seven adventure scenarios written by eight different authors
  • a 17" x 22" fold-out map

Reception

In the November 1983 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #47), Oliver Dickinson gave the supplement an above-average rating of 10 out of 10.[1]

In the February 1984 edition of Dragon, Steve List liked the variety of scenarios, although he found one of them "a little out of place" since it involves travel outside of the area covered by the supplement. List concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Big Rubble is one of the best scenario packages I have seen. It is well-produced in a physical sense, and it is well-written and well-planned. As a blend of self-contained scenarios and open-ended setting, it is a valuable addition to the Runequest library.[2]

Reviews
  • Fantasy Gamer #4 (Feb./March, 1984)
gollark: Make a script to autogenerate the platform makefiles!
gollark: Well, the solution is obvious.
gollark: I see. Explain || bees.
gollark: Communism would either be a HIGHLY uncool centrally planned economy or just having everyone magically get along, which does not really work.
gollark: I feel like this is too demonic and should immediately stop.
