Reception

Oliver Johnson reviewed four supplements for RoleMaster set in Shadow World at the same time, in the August 1989 issue (#8) of Games International magazine: Journey to the Magic Isle, Demons of the Burning Night, Quellbourne: Land of the Silver Mist, and Tales of the Loremasters. Collectively, he concluded "too much of it is of the ‘seen it and done it all before’ variety" and that "Creatures and settings here are the worst side of amorphic[] all mush [sic] together into an unpalatable stew". To Tales specifically he awarded 3 1/2 stars out of 5, and stated that "generally non player characters are well thought out, particular in the Night Come Soon scenario."[1]
