In the August 1986 edition of the British magazine White Dwarf (Issue #80), Barry Bailey reviewed both The Hartlewick Horror and another Doctor Who adventure, The Legions of Death , and said of The Hartlewick Horror, "You could be forgiven for thinking it was a scenario for a certain popular rolegame with the initials CoC ." Bailey thought the plot "was simple, and designed for less experienced players", but he admitted that those players would "find it very entertaining." He also noted that "players were guided through it, without being too obvious that there was manipulation involved." However, Bailey criticized the American designer for a lack of research, "apparently unaware of the distinctive differences between English and American towns." He concluded that, compared to The Legions of Death, "The Hartlewick Horror is the better of the two scenarios, and should provide a solid one or two sessions' gaming." [1]
