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: I generally think it should be good for everyone.
gollark: This may be true, but reality is complex and unpredictable and determining who is that would be hard and probably prone to horrible bias.
gollark: It's not like the amount of people doing that doesn't scale with population.
gollark: We could probably fix a lot of issues by just, say, actually using nuclear power.
gollark: Poor management by human governance structures is a bigger issue than actual number of people.
