Reception
Tim Smith reviewed 'Land of the Minotaurs' for 'Arcane' magazine, rating it a 2 out of 10 overall. According to Smith, "Apparently this is a 'New York Times' bestseller; apparently the author has a good track record; apparently minotaurs can happily survive outside of Greek legend. And apparently we still have to put up with pot boilers like this that aim to flesh out the ethos of the Dragonlance world." Smith suggested: "This should have a small logo with a piece of ancient hemp-rope and a dollar sign somewhere. You're better off sticking with your own imagination, which will far outshine anything you can find here. TSR must do much more to support their games than knock out this old, forumulaic, badly crafted pap."
