 Rolston called the two adventure scenarios "first-rate, original, well-motivated and plausible, and tactically challenging", and said that they "represent a more modern approach to tournament scenarios" when compared to those designed in the "big dungeon" tradition, citing that they "both have minor dungeon-style sequences, but most of their action depends on wilderness and campaign-style settings and plot devices.Their themes are also more modest in scale, as contrasted to the epic, save-the-universe themes of "Scourge of the Slavelords" and "Egg of the Phoenix".
