Stephan Wieck reviewed Tales of the Black Widow Company in White Wolf #7 (1987), rating it a 7 out of 10 and stated that "Useless if you prefer to play your own unit instead of playing the Widow's company.

The Periphery is a 1995 role-playing game supplement for BattleTech and MechWarrior published by FASA. It details the Periphery worlds at the end of the Inner Sphere, with one section for each of the five largest powers on the periphery.

James Swallow reviewed The Periphery for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall.{{cite journal|last=Swallow |first=James |date=March 1996|title=Games Reviews|journal=Arcane|publisher=Future Publishing|issue=4|pages=77}} Swallow comments that "The Periphery is a sourcebook for the referee who wants to get on with it alone, and the rich setting is perfect for a Frontier, Mercenary or Pirate campaign. There's ample room for budding warlords to carve out their own republics through force of arms, engage in politics or just pound the lubricant out of each other's mechs. Definitely worth a look by any BattleTech gamers seeking fresh pastures."
