Reception
Stephen H. Dorneman reviewed the adventure in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 80.[1] He commented that the adventure has "excellent production values throughout, and a plethora of useful data and errata for any Gamesmaster using the Lankhmar setting in their campaign. But more importantly, Swords of the Undercity is an adventure supplement that can help a gamemaster provide exciting, original AD&D adventure to his or her players without sacrificing the mysterious, magical feel of Fritz Leiber's creation."[1]
