Reception

William A. Barton reviewed The Lords of Underearth in The Space Gamer No. 38.[1] Barton commented that "The Lords of Underearth [...] qualifies as a game to be recommended to novice fantasy gamers and aficionados of The Fantasy Trip role-playing system. Fantasy veterans might find it an interesting diversion from their more complex endeavors as well."[1]

Eric Goldberg reviewed The Lords of Underearth in Ares Magazine #10 and commented that "Lords demonstrates that small fantasy boardgames can be the result of quality work. The emphasis is on the simple and the playable, but never on the simplistic."[2]

gollark: ↓ Jabu
gollark: Or mod 1? Hm.
gollark: I don't think the spec technically forbids u0s for the tape and doing all arithmetic mod 0.
gollark: It's computable if the tape can only contain 0s.
