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 Demons specifically he awarded 2 1/2 stars out of 5, stating that "All in all rather disappointing. Too much of the adventuring involves ability rolls rather than genuine role-playing and clues that the gamers can figure out for themselves. Friendly non player characters are clichéd and creatures are a dull rag bag." [1]
