Dragon Kings was written by Timothy B. Brown and published by TSR, Inc. [1]
Berin Kinsman reviewed the module in the March/April issue of White Wolf magazine. He stated that "Over all, Dragon Kings is an attractive package with useful information for AD&D aficionados in general and Dark Sun buffs in particular." He rated it as a 3 out of a possible 5. [2]
Rick Swan reviewed Dragon Kings for Dragon magazine #197 (September 1993). [1] He commented that "Power-mad players who feel constrained by the level limits imposed by the standard AD&D rules should delight in this Dark Sun supplement". [1] He thought that the rules for creating "stratospheric-level warriors" were "interesting", and called the Battlesystem options "useful but nonessential". [1] He felt that "the real action" is in high-powered spells, giving examples of a spell which conjures a fortified tower more than 100 yards tall, a spell which creates up to a 480-yard radius forest with as many as 36,000 trees, and a spell to animate as many as 4,000 skeletons from an ancient civilization. [1] He commented that "Dungeon Masters may shudder at the thought of coming up with scenarios to challenge 30th-level PCs—what are they gonna do, fight planets?" [1]
