Reception
Don Turnbull reviewed Fortress Ellendar for White Dwarf #19 (June/July 1980), giving it an overall score of 7 out of 10.[3] He commented that "the booklet is attractive and well-presented; the adventure is fully documented and there is a flow to the text which is not notability present in, for instance, many of the Judgles Guild 'modules'. Apparently this is merely the first of about half a dozen such adventure modules, and if the others are as good as this one, they should be worth getting even if you don't intend to play the High Fantasy rules."[3]
Ronald Pehr reviewed Fortress Ellendar in The Space Gamer No. 30.[1] Pehr commented that "The good outweighs the bad, though. Fortress Ellendar is a worthwhile adventure."[1]
