Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Legion of Gold in The Space Gamer No. 41. [1] Barton commented that "Legion of Gold is a worthy effort and can easily stand with the best of TSR's D&D modules. It should make Gamma World fans more excited about the game and may even draw some who have been less enthusiastic to give it a try as well." [1]
