Reception

Harry White reviewed Thieves' World in The Space Gamer No. 45.[2] White commented that "it's worth the price. Thieves' World provides a wealth of information for repeated use but allows considerable flexibility for individual creativity and customizing. Physically, typographically and artistically it is a qualify product. Highly recommended if you don't expect miracles and need a home for your adventurers."[2]

Thieves' World was awarded the Origins Award for "Best Roleplaying Adventure of 1981".[3]

John ONeill of Black Gate comments: "It was a beautiful product that rose above the gimmick at its core. Sanctuary was the city where anything could happen, where characters created by some of the best fantasy writers of the generation crossed paths and shared adventures. Chaosium's Thieves' World became the setting where gamers of every stripe could likewise gather and share a beer... and perhaps an expedition into the caverns beneath The Maze together."[4]
