Reception

Nic Grecas reviewed Dragonriders of Pern for White Dwarf #52, giving it an overall rating of 4 out of 10, and stated that "This is a game which lacks those crucial ingredients - enjoyment and excitement. In a game which has these, almost anything else can be forgiven, eg rotten artwork, unclear rules, complex and unwieldy game mechanics, high price, or 'historical inaccuracy'. In their absence, even the most lavishly illustrated, innovative game is a failure to be played once and no more."[2]

gollark: Also "The five boxing wizards jump quickly".
gollark: "Jived fox nymph grabs quick waltz" and "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" are two good not-quite-perfect pangrams.
gollark: There are many.
gollark: It's exotically spelled, so yes.
