Reception
[edit]Andy Butcher reviewed The Cursed Land for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall.[1] Butcher comments that "It's not that The Cursed Land is badly written. It's actually quite enjoyable, and mercifully avoids drawing too heavily on the specifics of Magic: The Gathering of which it is a spin-off. It's just that you've probably read so much of it before. In fact, if you've ever roleplayed in a fantasy game, you've probably played a lot of it before..."[1]
