Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Flight of the Stag in The Space Gamer No. 46. [1] Barton commented that "I highly recommend Flight of the Stag as an excellent example of a brief, simple, yet highly playable adventure for Traveller." [1]

Tony Watson reviewed Flight of the Stag, Salvage Mission , and Fleetwatch for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "I was very impressed with Marischal's folios. They are well conceived, intelligent and excellently illustrated. They should prove useful as short adventures or as starting points for more complex scenarios. These folios seem to be a product at the right price." [3]
