Reception[]
Vor Rukoth has received both negative and positive reviews.
Baz Stevens from rpgtreehouse gave a fairly negative review, stating "I can't help but think it needed condensing, developing and distilling so that a merely ok sourcebook could potentially be a decent adventure."[1]
Aaron R from Phelanar's Den gave a positive review, complimenting the openness and lack of statements that demand elements to be certain ways. The only criticism was with the folder cover, saying "I honestly don't like how the cover isn't attached. It makes transporting or storing the entire thing feel messy, for lack of a better term."[2]
