The Legions of Death

The Legions of Death was written by J. Andrew Keith, with a cover by Harry Quinn and illustrations by Jane Bigos and Todd F. Marsh, and was published by FASA in 1985 as a 52-page book with a cardstock card.^[2]

In the August 1986 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #80), Barry Bailey reviewed both The Legions of Death and another Doctor Who adventure, The Hartlewick Horror, and said of The Legions of Death, "This module is rather longer than The Hartlewick Horror, but I don't feel the extra space has been used as well as it might have been. Far less guidance has been given in running this adventure." He criticized the complete absence of maps, and also noted that the large amount of gamemaster notes and historical background about the Roman invasion of Britain was presented separately rather than being integrated into the plot. Bailey warned that "If you want to run this scenario, you should be at least mildly interested in the Romans and their history, and the ancient Britons." He concluded that The Hartlewick Horror was the better of the two scenarios, saying "The Legions of Death might provide more, but its lack of such things as maps may well flummox an inexperienced referee."^[1]
