Reception


Allen Varney reviewed the Winter '93 issue of Tales of the Reaching Moon, and said that "For casual players, Tales of the Reaching Moon might as well be printed in Sanskrit, as evidenced by cryptic references [...] But if that's music to your ears, consider taking an issue on your next trip to Glorantha."
