Publication history

Portals of Twilight was written by Rudy Kraft, and was published by Judges Guild in 1981 as a 48-page book.
TSR chose not to renew its Dungeons & Dragons license with Judges Guild when that license expired in September 1980. Judges Guild was able to keep their Advanced Dungeons & Dragons license for another year, allowing them to publish adventures like The Illhiedrin Book, Zienteck, Trial by Fire, and Portals of Twilight before ending that line.

Reception

Michael Stackpole reviewed Portals of Twilight in The Space Gamer No. 50. The review states that "The real worth of a product is determined by how it sets the atmosphere for an adventure and what sort of characters will be met and dealt with in the adventure." Stackpole continued: "In this work, Rudy Kraft does a fine job of setting up atmosphere and all that in the first ten pages. Then the rest of the 44-page booklet is used for charts and tables. No personalities or anything."
