Reception

Gordon Kibblewhite reviewed For the Crown and the Dragon for Arcane magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall.[1] Kibblewhite comments that "the tale is stranger and more cynical than a mere Sherwood Forest chestnut, and the raft of great characters have a black sense of humour to match. The battles are likewise well done, so that we are soon spattered not only with blood and gore, but with dirt, filth, ran and brine as well."[1]
