Plunder is a supplement for RuneQuest , half of which consists of a shorthand method for generating treasure, while the other half describes 43 exotic magic items. [1]
Forrest Johnson reviewed Plunder in The Space Gamer No. 33. [1] Johnson commented that "the lack of exotic magic items has heretofore been a weak point in RuneQuest . The items have authentic Gloranthan flavor, complete with history and cult affinities. The discreet use of these items will add spice to a campaign without reducing it to Monty Haul." [1]
Oliver Macdonald reviewed Plunder for White Dwarf #25, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10, and stated that "All points considered Plunder is an interesting but by no means essential RuneQuest play aid, certainly not worth buying if you have a limited budget." [2]
John T. Sapienza, Jr. reviewed Plunder for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Plunder is a useful idea, and well done. I recommend it to all RQ GMs." [3]
