Reception edit
Chris Hunter reviewed Lair of the Freebooters for Imagine magazine, and stated that "I have no great desire to bring pirates into my AD&D games but if you do, LotF plus TG6 for ship to ship combat rules etc are a good place to start."[3]
Rick Swan reviewed Lair of the Freebooters in Space Gamer #73, and wrote, "Although it's well-presented, roleplayers who've been around awhile have probably run across much of this elsewhere and will find more of the same here. Those with an insatiable taste for the high seas, however, will want to check out the sections on ship weaponry, naval tactics, and crew skills."[1]
