Reception

Andy Butcher reviewed Beyond the Pale for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall, and stated that "Beyond the Pale provides a worthy climax to the story, with plenty of things for the players to do and a suitably epic scale. It's not the most innovative adventure ever, but it does do a fairly good job of tying up all the relevant plots, and making the players feel that they've truly accomplished something at the end of it."
