Reception
[edit]Oliver Johnson reviewed four supplements for RoleMaster set in Shadow World at the same time, in the August 1989 issue (#8) of Games International magazine: Journey to the Magic Isle, Demons of the Burning Night, Quellbourne: Land of the Silver Mist, and Tales of the Loremasters. Collectively, he concluded "too much of it is of the ‘seen it and done it all before’ variety" and that "Creatures and settings here are the worst side of amorphic[] all mush [sic] together into an unpalatable stew". To Demons specifically he awarded 2 1/2 stars out of 5, stating that "All in all rather disappointing. Too much of the adventuring involves ability rolls rather than genuine role-playing and clues that the gamers can figure out for themselves. Friendly non player characters are clichéd and creatures are a dull rag bag."[1]
