A review for Wargamer praised the variety of play of social interaction, puzzle solving, exploration and combat in diverse locations of epic scale, such as Sigil, the Underdark, Eberron, Barovia, Krynn, and the Astral Sea of Spelljammer . However, it criticized the narrative logic and amount of preparation needed by the Dungeon Master. [3]
