    The Practically Complete Guide to Dragons Review

    As if to continue the rivalry between giants and dragons, just one week after the release of Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants Wizards of the Coast has released a new book on dragons.

    Project lead James Wyatt is back with another creature-specific D&D book like 2021's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons.

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    One person brought up mental healthcare more than once. Another person brought up "how are you going to make it up to us" in regard to the abuse taken and trust broken.
