==Reception== [[Stewart Wieck]] reviewed the product in the December 1986 to January 1987 issue of [[White Wolf (magazine)|''White Wolf'']]. He downplayed generic role-playing games in general but noted this product was inexpensive, which was part of the appeal of these systems.<ref name="Wieck">{{cite magazine | last =Wieck| first =Stewart |author-link=Stewart Wieck | title= Capsule Reviews: TWERPS| magazine= White Wolf | issue = 8 | page = 61 | date = December 1987 β January 1998 | url = https://imgur.com/a/bJjfKON }}</ref> Game critic Rick Swan reviewed the game twice: * In his 1990 book ''[[The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games]]'', Swan noted "Obviously ''Twerps'' isn't going to hold anyone's attention for more than a few minutes, but those few minutes are actually kind of fun." Swan gave the game a rating of 2.5 out of 4.<ref name=swan>{{cite book | last =Swan | first =Rick | author-link=Rick Swan |title =[[The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games]] | publisher =St. Martin's Press | date =1990 | location =New York | pages =229β230}}</ref> * In the September 1993 issue of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'', Swan commented "So maybe itβs a joke. Billed as 'The Worlds Easiest Role-Playing System,' the ''TWERPS'' game gets remarkable mileage out of a single statistic (Strength, determined by the roll of a 10-sided die) ... Considering its limits, ''TWERPS'' works surprisingly well."<ref name=dragon>{{cite magazine |last=Swan|first=Rick|authorlink=Rick Swan| date=September 1993|title=Roleplaying Reviews|magazine=[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]|publisher=[[TSR (company)|TSR, Inc.]]|issue=200|pages=118}}</ref> Eric Jacobson reviewed ''TWERPS Basic Rules'' in ''[[White Wolf (magazine)|White Wolf]]'' #47 (Sept., 1994), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "For [the price] you can't lose. Releasing a horde of additional, inexpensive support books, Gamescience offers access to almost every gaming genre. For such a simple little game, it's amazing what you can do."<ref name="WW47">{{Cite magazine |last=Jacobson |first=Eric |date=September 1994|title=Capsule Reviews |magazine= [[White Wolf Magazine]] |number=47 |page=72 |url=https://imgur.com/a/nMVrKME}}</ref>
