Publication history

[edit]

Darkling Ship was the third adventure published as part of the Border Prowler series, after the adventures Amycus Probe and Rogue Moon of Spinstorme.[1] Darkling Ship was written by Dave Sering and was published in 1982 by Judges Guild as a 32-page book.[2]

Reception

[edit]

William A. Barton reviewed Darkling Ship in The Space Gamer No. 63.[1] Barton commented that "If you don't mind adding some extra encounters, etc. during the exploration of the vessel, Darkling Ship may be salvageable - and could even be turned into an interesting adventure. However, I hope the next in the series (yes, there are loose ends left in the one, too) will have a bit more action in the offering."[1]
