Reception

In Issue 46 of The Space Gamer (December 1981), Lewis Pulsipher commented "If thieves are your favorite character, you should subscribe to Thieves Guild." [1] Pulsipher [1]

Pulsipher also reviewed Thieves' Guild IV for White Dwarf #31, noting, ""Gamelords's products are not for everyone, but a boon to the minority of FRPers at whom they are aimed." Pulsipher concluded by giving this product a rating of 8 out of 10. [3]

In Issue 17 of Abyss (February 1982), Dave Nalle commented, "At $5.95, the cost is not really too high compared with the rest of the market, and the material is unusually logical, if only moderately exciting." [2]

John T. Sapienza, Jr. reviewed Thieves' Guild 4, Thieves' Guild 5 , and Thieves' Guild VI for Different Worlds and stated that "even if you are not particularly interested in thieves for role-playing, the Thieves' Guild line is worth looking at for ideas." [4]
