Publication history

Reception

Lew Pulsipher reviewed Knights of the Round Table for White Dwarf #6, and stated that "This is a relaxing change from the tac-nukes, lasers, and superhypnosis of D&D. Probably the skill level which can be imposed in Knights of the Round Table is not high, but the same is true of many other role-playing games. Speed and simplicity are sufficient compensation."[2]

Lawrence Schick describes the game as a "Primitive early system".[1]

gollark: Wow, this random pi calculation algorithm from the internet is so fast that stringifying and unstringifying the output is *slower* than calculating a million digits.
gollark: This is the nice thing about skynet; you don't even need to be on the same server.
