Reception

Brian McCue reviewed The Sword and the Stars in The Space Gamer No. 43.[1] McCue commented that "I'd recommend The Sword and the Stars to any die-hard Empires of the Middle Ages player, to anybody who wants a less expensive alternative for that game, and to people who play SF but not historical games. The game system is great; only the historical appeal of the older game is lacking."[1]

gollark: They literally do nothing with this except use it to write simple integrals slightly differently.
gollark: I mean, *look* at this.
gollark: AQA ones might be different, but we do Edexcel and they're mostly fairly trivial.
gollark: The only "difficult but rewarding" stuff here is extension papers like STEP and they don't really have... teaching... for that.
gollark: Not only does it do horrible abuse of notation but it does a "left-handed Riemann sum" with fixed thing widths, and thus breaks on certain exotic functions.
