Reception

In a retrospective review of Going Home in Black Gate, Patrick Kanouse said "Despite its presumed ending, Going Home still preserves the essence of the sandbox game by giving the players complete control over their fate. They could reject outright the notion (or as in my campaign, my brother plays a team of spetsnaz who have varied interests — including their own version of going home. It is a satisfying conclusion to the campaign, despite coming after the masterful The Black Madonna."^[2]

Going Home was awarded the H.G. Wells Award for "Best Roleplaying Adventure of 1986".^[3]
