Reception

James Swallow reviewed The Periphery for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall. Swallow comments that "The Periphery is a sourcebook for the referee who wants to get on with it alone, and the rich setting is perfect for a Frontier, Mercenary or Pirate campaign. There's ample room for budding warlords to carve out their own republics through force of arms, engage in politics or just pound the lubricant out of each other's mechs. Definitely worth a look by any BattleTech gamers seeking fresh pastures."
