Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed Aslan in Space Gamer No. 70. [1] Sheeley commented that "Aslan is an excellent module. I recommend it without hesitation. It's worth more than [the price]." [1]

Steve Nutt reviewed Alien Module: Aslan for Imagine magazine, and stated that "All in all, this is a good buy. An Aslan-based campaign would be very different indeed." [2]

Bob McWilliams reviewed Aslan, Alien Module 1 for White Dwarf #65, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "For the most part I was not disappointed with Aslan ('Adventure and Intrigue with a Proud Warrior Race'). Naturally I could have done with even more social and historical background than is provided, but what you get inside the folder-type cover is a 40-page booklet jam-packed with detail." [3]
