Reception
Doug Cowie reviews AC1 for Imagine magazine, giving a positive review. Calling accessory "very welcomed", he still blames sketch characters because of lack of information about treasures and other items brought. He also noted that the party section is a "waste of space" for repeating information already provided elsewhere in this book. Cowie is called part of an accessory dedicated to the Inn "good stuff". He concludes his review by noting that AC1 is not something to be had, but the inclusion of lodging - "an acceptable adventurer base" - makes it above average and "worth considering".
