Portals of Twilight is a supplement for fantasy role-playing games published by Judges Guild in 1981.
Portals of Twilight is a fantasy campaign setting supplement focusing on a world that characters can travel to using magical portals. The book describes 32 wilderness locations and a city, and provides game statistics for new monsters. [1]
Portals of Twilight was written by Rudy Kraft, and was published by Judges Guild in 1981 as a 48-page book. [1]
TSR opted not to renew Judges Guild's license for D&D when it expired in September 1980. They managed to hold onto their AD&D license a little while longer, so adventures like The Illhiedrin Book (1981), Zienteck (1981), Trial by Fire (1981), and Rudy Kraft's Portals of Twilight (1981) would finish off that line.

Michael Stackpole reviewed Portals of Twilight in The Space Gamer No. 50. [3] The review states that "The real worth of a product is determined by how it sets the atmosphere for an adventure and what sort of characters will be met and dealt with in the adventure." [3] Stackpole continued: "In this work, Rudy Kraft does a fine job of setting up atmosphere and all that in the first ten pages. Then the rest of the 44-page booklet is used for charts and tables. No personalities or anything." [3]
Empire of the Petal Throne is a fantasy role-playing game designed by M. A. R. Barker, based on his Tékumel fictional universe. It was self-published in 1974, then published by TSR, Inc. in 1975. It was one of the first tabletop role-playing games, along with Dungeons & Dragons, and was the first published RPG game setting. Over the subsequent thirty years, several new games were published based on the Tékumel setting; however, to date, none have met with commercial success. While published as fantasy, the game is sometimes classified as science fantasy or, debatably, as science fiction.
