Publication history

MT3 The Revenge of Kang was written by Ray Winninger, with a cover by Jeff Butler, and was published by TSR, Inc., in 1989 as a 48-page book and an outer folder. [1]

Reception

Games International magazine reviewed The Revenge of Kang and stated that "The Revenge of Kang sports the most absurd plot rationale in the history of module design. More time travel silliness provides the excuse for a succession of set pieces in which player characters either make skill rolls, fight villains or (exceptionally) use their noddles. Required for those who have played the first two, if only to rid your game of all this tosh, but not worth a look in otherwise." [2]
