Reception[edit]
Richard A. Edwards reviewed The Mines of Keridav in The Space Gamer No. 33.[1] Edwards commented that "The Mines of Keridav is a step forward. No longer must other FRP systems adapt D&D-oriented material to theirs. The heavy emphasis on the above-ground adventure is a real bonus over the now-prolific use of underground room to room scenarios. This is a real bonus to any game master's library of adventures."[1]
