ReceptionIn the January 1998 edition of Dragon (Issue #243), Rick Swan called the collection "a triumph, one of the best sci-fi anthologies I’ve ever come across. Brilliantly staged, featuring compelling characters and jaw-dropping plot twists, every episode is a winner, and I'd be hard-pressed to pick my favorite." Swan did criticize the maps, which he found "bland"; he called the artwork "so-so"; and he found the "pages of dense text are hard on the eyes." But he concluded by giving the book a top rating of 6 out of 6, saying, "Nitpicks aside, Anomalies is a first-rate effort, absorbing, intelligent roleplaying of the highest caliber."[1] References
