Reception

William Fawcett reviewed Wilderlands of the Fantastic Reaches in The Dragon #44.[4] Fawcett commented that "This set of maps and their index is one of the most massive efforts of the Judges Guild. These maps when viewed as a whole are a gigantic effort and have to be considered one of the major projects in roleplaying games. When all spread out, these are the only gaming maps that surpass the GDW Europa maps in size."[4]
