Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed Secret of the Ancients in

Space Gamer No. 70.[1] Sheeley commented that "Secrets of the Ancients is a good buy if you want either more information on the Ancients or an adventure that plays like a combination of the exploration sequence from the movie Alien and the Quest for the Holy Grail."[1]

Steve Nutt reviewed Adventure 12 for

Imagine magazine, and stated that "In conclusion, the module gives good background material, but is unsuitable for a campaign whose base is political intrigue, industrial espionage, etc."[2]

Marcus L. Rowland reviewed Traveller Adventure 12: Secret of the Ancients for White Dwarf #64, giving it an overall rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "If you're a Traveller completist, or want to find out the 'real' history of the Ancients, this adventure is a must. If you don't use the Ancients it may still be useful, but can't really be run without a lot of preparation."[3]
