The 4E Draconomicon mentions the "Scourge" and "Catastrophic" families of dragon. I haven't run across those terms before, and they don't seem to be detailed in the book.
Does anybody know anything about them?
There's five types of dragons though. Metallic, Chromatic, Scourge, Catastrophic, and Planar.4e is theorized to have a four year cycle, correct? As in, people think there will be four PHBs, etc... Well, if each MM has one family of dragons, and each Draconomicon deals specifically with the same family, then doing this lets them continue with dragons in each MM and new material in each Draconomicon, right? I don't think that will be a bad thing (assuming things go as I just predicted) - if you're really into Linnorms, then the Linnorm Draconomicon would be perfect for you, no?
