Reception
Scott Haring reviewed Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure for Pyramid #11 (January/February 1995).
Rick Swan reviewed Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure for Dragon magazine #216 (April 1995). He stated, "You're a newcomer to the AD&D game. You've played the First Quest game. You've read the Player's Handbook and understand about half of it. Now what? Well, you can 1) close your eyes, buy one of the zillion or so supplements, and hope for the best; 2) design your own adventures from scratch (good luck!); or 3) invest in the exquisite Karameikos campaign set." Swan concludes: "If you're a beginner and Karameikos fails to make your heart race, you might as well go back to crossword puzzles."
