[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8744380, member: 5948"] Fizban's was a pretty mixed bag. There was some good ideas with lair ideas and possibly motivations and plot hooks etc, but dragons have never really been monsters that get used heavily or routinely, at least in my games, so a lot of the ideas are going to go unused. I found the multiversal background material, the lore about greatwyrms and prime material plane connections, the background to the gem dragons etc, to be not to my taste, so that rules out another big chunk of the book. Would I buy it again? Probably not, on balance. It's not BAD exactly, but I put it aside after first readthrough and haven't really touched it again. As for Bigby's ... probably not. I've never been a fan of D&Ds elementalist take on giants, and this book looks to be following up that side of things hard if the UA previews are any indication. Plus I'm in the very late stages of a Storm King's Thunder campaign right now, and I'm not real interested in MORE giants right now... [/QUOTE]
