Reception
Jim Bambra briefly reviewed The Best of Intentions for Dragon magazine #131 (March 1988).[2] Bambra praised the module, saying "Colorful pregenerated characters, excellent staging, nice cut-up bits, inserts, and amusing Jim Holloway illustrations make this a real treat for would-be gods. The Best of Intentions is a fun romp through the mystical realms of the D&D game's Immortals Set. Miss this one it at your own peril."[2]
