Sam Chupp reviewed The Runedice Book in White Wolf #40, rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "As far as The Runedice Book's use in fantasy roleplaying goes, the system might be useful in creating storylines and/or character backgrounds. You may even want your characters to scribe the runes on parchment or engrave them on armor in order to invoke the power ascribed to them. The work is left to you, though."
