In 1984, Games Workshop published Legacy of EAGLEs , the first of a planned series of short "Monthly Modules" for their Golden Heroes superhero role-playing game. However, the second adventure, Queen Victoria & The Holy Grail, proved to be the last in the series. It was written by Marcus L. Rowland, with artwork by Tony Ackland, and Fox, with cover art by Kevin Hopgood, and was published in 1985 by Games Workshop as a 32-page book with character cards, and cardstock miniatures. [3]
In the January 1986 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #73), Pete Tamlyn warned his readers that "This scenario is Tough, this scenario is Weird, but it is such a marvellous idea that it is well and truly worth all of the trouble." He noted that, being one of the shorter Monthly Modules, "it doesn't contain quite the same quantity and quality of play aids." Tamlyn criticized the combat as too lethal, and questioned why a map of Buckingham Palace was included, saying "what idiot is going to start a fight in Buckingham Palace?" However, he concluded by giving it an above-average overall rating of 8 out of 10, stating, "love it, love it, and I can't wait for the players in my campaign to get tough enough to handle it." [1]
