Reception

edit

Peter Green reviewed The Shattered Isle for White Dwarf #90 and stated that "Both adventures successfully capture the flavour of the Hawkmoon novels. They are very Moorcockian, containing those weird and baroque elements which make Michael Moorcock such a distinctive writer. Chaosium have done a good job with the Eternal Champion line. It should appeal to both Hawkmoon and Stormbringer players."[2]

Stewart Wieck reviewed the product in the December 1986 to January 1987 issue of White Wolf. He stated that it was "very nicely done and, if you have Hawkmoon, is a must". He rated it overall at 9 points out of 10.[3]
