D&D 5E The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

As revealed by Nerd Immersion by deciphering computer code from D&D Beyond!

Spoiler

Fizban the Fabulous is, of course, the accident-prone, befuddled alter-ego of Dragonlance’s god of good dragons, Paladine, the platinum dragon (Dragonlance’s version of Bahamut).

Which makes my guess earlier this year spot on!

UPDATE -- the book now has a description!

D&D 5E - My guess for the other D&D book this year... Draconomicon!

We know the fifth major product this year will be James Wyatt‘s as-yet unannounced project, and we know it will be coming out this year between Witchlight and Strixhaven. Wyatt co-wrote the Draconomicon for 3E. There have been two recent dragon-themed Unearthed Arcanas — dragon-themed...

Does anyone actually like dragons?

WotC actually did a marketing survey once that showed that any product containing the words demon/devil or dragon actually sold the best. That was why we got books like Dragon Magic, Draconomicon, Guide to Hell and Guide to the Abyss back in 3E.

And yes, I love dragons - it’s in the game’s name, baby!

geez, you guys are a tough crowd!

I too find it a little dull. It does the job, you can see that this is a book about dragons. But I've seen more inspiring dragon-themed arts in the recent MTG cards reveal.

Yeah this is my exact thoughts... it's a quality piece and it does the job, but isn't really very exciting either. I felt the same about the Van Richten's cover... I think the last cover I really liked was Tasha's.

Not really a surprise considering the two dragon-based UAs and the general forum consensus for months.

The dragon subclasses were released in October 2020. The first post was Dragonlance and the second was Dragonomicon. The dragon lineages were released in April 2021.

Probably too much to hope for a return of the catastrophic dragons from 4E, huh?

I'd settle for linnorms.

its most likely the next monster book

I dunno, looks like Planescape to me.

I think it’s the colors - too much red and white, making the dragons blend into the surroundings and making the whole thing a bit bland. If they had been fighting against a night sky or a blue sky or a background that either used complimentary colors instead of shades of the dragon’s primary colors, it would have looked far more dramatic and alive.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Sure. If you're a Level 8 party. If you're a Level 15 party, they're called "Oh... more dragons. Great. Well this should be mildly diverting."

Hopefully this book can change that.

The threat of a never-seen-in-game green dragon has been the engine behind my ongoing 15-year campaign. So, yeah.
