Reception

Forrest Johnson reviewed Runemasters in The Space Gamer No. 33.[1] Johnson commented that "Many GMs prefer to create their own NPCs, but this is a time saver."[1]

Oliver Macdonald reviewed Runemasters for White Dwarf #25, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "In all RuneMasters contains a lot of useful material and would be well worth the cost to any GM as long as they use the Cults of Prax. Obviously drawing, as it does, such a lot of material from this book its usefulness is greatly reduced otherwise."[3]

John T. Sapienza, Jr. reviewed Rune Masters for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "The value of this volume is in its advice on how to play RQ with tactical skill taught by a master. This is delightful book - highly recommended."[4]
