In the October 1989 edition of Dragon (Issue #150), Ken Rolston thought the adventure was hard to characterize, calling it "1950s Television/Movie Science-Fiction Action-Adventure [...] And freed of such fetters as realism and real-life logic, it looks like a lot of fun." He liked the well-organized material, commenting, "The presentation and adventure staging is sharp and appealing, going for depth of characterization and episode rather than epic scope." He also liked the unexpected plot twists, saying, "all the stuff that happens is tricky and unexpected." He did have some issues with the wacky tone, pointing out "The one problem I can see is fitting this into an ongoing campaign. The tone and texture of the setting are not likely to match a standard SF action-adventure campaign." But he concluded on a positive note: "Flight 13 is full of fun, is well-presented, and is an admirable model for introducing PCs to a scenario through role-playing and interaction with NPCs. It is strongly recommended, though it is a bit eccentric by contrast with other GURPS science-fiction supplements." [1]
In the June 1989 edition of Games International (Issue #6), James Wallis was ambivalent about this adventure, saying, "While the concept is good and the adventure well constructed, the ending is disappointing for both player and referee." [3]

Beyond the Supernatural is a horror role-playing game published by Palladium Books. It has seen two editions released, both of which have introduced innovations to Palladium's standard mechanics. A versatile horror-themed game, it lends itself well to wildly different play styles and narrative tones, from schlock splatter-horror to intense psychological horror, with an entire spectrum of terror in between. Beyond the Supernatural is implicitly set in the modern day, wherein magic and psychic powers are real and monsters and demonic cults exist, but out of the public eye. This, however, is not set in stone, and most of the character classes are flexible enough to account for variant settings or time periods.
