Short version here. This is the music that was a digital download and physical CD goal in the Kickstarter campaign for Dragon Kings. Dragon Kings was created by Timothy Brown, the creator of the Dark Sun campaign setting for AD&D.

Dragon Kings is the spiritual successor to Dark Sun. Timothy Brown sought to bring in art, maps, music and game text to create an interesting and immersive world. He brought in Mike Stone, formerly with Queensryche, and other musicians to join his for the music portion of the world.

While I backed the Kickstarter at the physical level and found it had many quality materials, I did not run a game in it. However, when I'm trying to get into the mindset for my other RPGs in a gritty desert world, the evocative guitar playing, singing, and other musical work in this CD get me ready to roll dice. Each song is a story in the game world and it's a rock album.

There was also an instrumental version of each song for Kickstarter backers--I find these are good when I need some guitar-driven rock for keeping focused.

So, if you're thinking about a Dark Sun theme or a dying world and want some music, check out the previews and buy this unique music if it fits your tastes.
