Robin Hood the Role Playing Campaign is a 1987 role-playing game supplement published by Iron Crown Enterprises for Rolemaster.

Plot summary

Robin Hood the Role Playing Campaign is a supplement which provides statistics for Robin Hood and his Merry Men.[1]

Publication history

Robin Hood the Role Playing Campaign was written by Graham Staplehurst, with a cover by Angus McBride, with illustrations by Denis Loubet, and was published by Iron Crown Enterprises in 1987 as a 160-page book.[2]

Shannon Appelcline described that "ICE's fourth new product lines had ties to both Hero and Rolemaster. Their "Campaign Classics" books detailed historic and mythic backgrounds in excellent one-off sourcebooks that were dual-statted for both systems. There were five in all: Robin Hood (1987), Mythic Greece (1988), Vikings (1989), Pirates (1989), and Mythic Egypt (1990)."[3]: 105 

Reception

Ken Rolston reviewed Robin Hood the Role Playing Campaign for White Dwarf #92, and stated that "it does have some excellent, well-developed campaign ideas and adventures. It's [sic] greatest value would be as a sourcebook for Pendragon campaigns."[1]

Shannon Appelcline commented that "Though well-regarded and generally lauded, the Campaign Classics line also highlighted how poor the Hero/ICE fit was. Fans, freelance authors, and even in-house authors for ICE wanted little to do with Hero, and vice-versa. Monte Cook, for a time the editor in charge of both lines, would later recount having to deal with complaints from fans — who all felt like space was being wasted in their books with stats they'd never used — on a daily basis."[3]: 105
