Reception
R Jarnor reviewed The Romulans for White Dwarf #65, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "All in all if you want to run Romulan characters or a Romulan campaign, then this is for you. My only reservation is that for the money I would expect a little more in the way of details on subjects such as ships, worlds, etc."
Bob Mosley III reviewed The Romulans in Space Gamer No. 75. Mosley commented that "although The Romulans is a helpful addition to ST – RPG, it pales when placed alongside its Klingon counterpart. Had FASA spent more time on developing background material, this would have been a better supplement. still, it's a fair source of background material for the GM who wants to run a Federation campaign in Romulan territory."
