d20 Zines says "The Khorforjan Gambit is practically a sourcebook in itself; containing more than enough material to create a dangerous¸ disorienting adventure in the world of Middle-East politics and warfare. This much credible detail about the motivations and tactics of the various groups vying to establish peace or power in Albenistan can easily lead to some tense interactions at the gaming table. "
