Plot summary
[edit]The Demons street gang, who may have superpowers, has appeared on the streets of the city, and the heroes have up to 11 encounters with them.

Reception
[edit]In Issue 26 of White Wolf (April/May, 1991), Sean Holland rated it 3 out of 5, saying, "All in all, Demons Rule is a good solid adventure with several good ideas and chances for roleplaying.
