Reception
In the November 1983 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #47), Oliver Dickinson gave some parts of the supplement an excellent rating of 10 out of 10, especially two of the included scenarios, and rated most of the rest of the contents 8–9, although he thought some of the scenarios were below average, only worth 5–6.

In the February 1984 edition of Dragon, Steve List liked the variety of scenarios, although he found one of them "a little out of place" since it involves travel outside of the area covered by the supplement. List concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Big Rubble is one of the best scenario packages I have seen. It is well-produced in a physical sense, and it is well-written and well-planned. As a blend of self-contained scenarios and open-ended setting, it is a valuable addition to the Runequest library.
