Publication history

Port O' Call: Tarlkin's Landing is the first role-playing aid from Judges Guild as part of a series intended as universal science-fiction RPG aids. [1]

Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Port O' Call: Tarlkin's Landing in The Space Gamer No. 49. [1] Barton commented that "Tarlkin's Landing is, unfortunately, one of those 'universal' supplements that doesn't quite fit any system. Still, if the conversion problems, the price, and other liabilities don't bother you, you probably will find Tarlkin's Port O' Call of some use." [1]
