Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Damocles in The Space Gamer No. 62. [1] Barton commented that "Overall, Damocles is quite well done and should provide quite a bit of gaming enjoyment for TMP players, whether it is used as a one-shot scenario or as the first in what could be a lengthy campaign." [1]

Chris Baylis reviewed Damocles for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The scenario is very well designed, but tends to get bogged down in the middle. An experienced PD will have the forethought to include minor (yet not fatal) diversions to keep the players' minds occupied during these passing phases." [2]
