Reception
editRonald Pehr reviewed Moorguard in The Space Gamer No. 30.[1] Pehr commented that "Moorguard keeps players happy and involves them in the scenario. If you like the High Fantasy rules, you'll consider Moorguard a good way to use them."[1]
Anders Swenson reviewed Fortress Ellendar and Moorguard for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "With a copy of High Fantasy in hand, it is easy to transliterate the monster notation to correspond to most of the major game systems, and these books are both very good examples of the narrative style of scenario, which many GMs may wish to examine to upgrade their own campaigns."[3]
