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]
Reviews
- Fantasy Gamer #4
gollark: Besides, most people will "never use" art and such.
gollark: It is hard to know in advance what you will or won't need.
gollark: Maths is very useful for modelling reality, but school maths is kind of awful.
gollark: This is very ironic given that proper application of maths will show you that in basically all cases gambling is a bad idea.
gollark: This is very ethical.
