Reception

Jonathan Sutherland reviewed Northern Mirkwood - The Wood-Elves Realm and Southern Mirkwood - Haunt of the Necromancer for White Dwarf #50, giving both an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "Both are rich in detail and are much more of a role-playing aid with numerous tables for random events and encounters." [2]

Craig Sheeley reviewed Northern Mirkwood: The Wood-Elves Realm in The Space Gamer No. 73. [1] Sheeley commented that "If you want a Tolkien-esque campaign, then Northern Mirkwood is an invaluable treatise. Unfortunately, for the [cost], you could get another Tolkien book." [1]

Andy Blakeman reviewed Northern Mirkwood for Imagine magazine, and stated that "there is so much detail, and so many (often obscure) facts, that it would be a task of near-heroic dimensions to become thoroughly conversant with it all - and, indeed. I wouldn't recommend ICE products to anyone short of time or dedication." [3]
