Contents

The Gateway Bestiary is a monster book for RuneQuest, with sections that cover giant insects, legendary beings, Celtic monsters, H.P. Lovecraft, dinosaurs and more.[1]

Reception

Steve Jackson reviewed The Gateway Bestiary in The Space Gamer No. 32.[1] Jackson commented that "On the whole, a worthwhile book for RuneQuest players, simply because the complex RQ combat system makes 'monster books' for other games almost useless. If you don't play RQ, you might glance at this one anyway; it covers a few mythological creatures I've never seen 'gamed' before ... and it's much easier to translate from the RQ system than to it."[1]
