Reception

Timothy Tow reviewed The Free City of Krakow in

Space Gamer No. 76.[2] Tow commented that "Overall, The Free City of Krakow is a very good module, up to the normal high GDW standards, but it will take some work from the referee to preplan the adventure (e.g., no NPC characteristics are given). If you want an excellent setting for a Twilight: 2000 campaign, then pick up a copy."[2]

Chris Felton reviewed Free City of Krakow in

Imagine magazine, stating that "if you are a GM who can run this sort of adventure well, this is an excellent module for a very good game system".[4]

In a retrospective review of The Free City of Krakow in Black Gate, Patrick Kanouse said "The Free City of Krakow is a fantastic supplement that provides a GM tons of info, excellent guidance and hooks but never mandates a singular path. The sandbox remains, and now the GM has more toys to create interesting encounters and adventures based on what the players do."[5]
