Reception
Graham Staplehurst reviewed The Pendragon Campaign for White Dwarf #74, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "The TPC on the whole is a very good production, and an essential addition to Pendragon."
Steven A. List reviewed The Pendragon Campaign in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 77. List commented that "It is not essential to playing KAP or even running a KAP campaign, but it is extremely useful in that regard and is in itself entertaining and informative reading for those with more than a passing interest in the Arthur of history, literature and legend."
The Pendragon Campaign won the H.G. Wells Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1985.
The Great Pendragon Campaign won the Diana Jones Award - a major juried award "for excellence in gaming" - in 2007.
