Reception.
Murray Writtle reviewed "Elfquest" for "White Dwarf" #60, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "This is really the nicest RPG I have seen to give someone as a present. It would suit especially a new player or the parents of young children, who will undoubtedly love the elves wholeheartedly, but also any player who really cares about The Story."
"Elfquest" did not sell nearly as well as hoped. Sandy Petersen, who worked at Chaosium at the time Elfquest was developed, blames this on it being given to the same developer as the new edition of "Runequest" which was being worked on at the same time, which resulted in "Elfquest" being used as a 'test bed' for complex mechanics that were going to be used in "Runequest". Petersen speculates that the resulting game was much more complex than fans of the "Elfquest" comics were likely prepared for.
