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 - Fizban's Treasury: The Dragon Book Now Has A Description... And A Feat

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...

Yep, OK. Two tails (or one forked tail).

I’m still weirded out about the copper dragon-style wings on the red dragon.

Yea, it's not quite typical, but I think it fits. I dunno.

Pssst, they are in the PHB already, there's a sidebar explaining it.

They may dump that... setting books weren't really high in the writers minds when the PHB was written, and if they're keen on Dragonlance getting a setting book, it's a near-certainty draconians will get their own subrace at minimum.

Half the book is likely to be monsters as well

What new and reprinted monsters do you think will be included
The skum and aquatic monsters from SALTMARSH, the new devils and new cold monsters are probably there
What else?

Probably just Dragons and Dragon-adjacent critters.

Personally hopinfg to finally get a Dragonne:

Morrus, the Seer

I am certain they will address how Dragonborn on different worlds are different, same as Dwarves & Elves in MToF.

Even leaving aside the issue of origins -- if you thought a PC race being the probable result of sexual assault, try making a race that's the result of forced abortion/genocide -- draconians simply don't fit in the same place as dragonborn.

Also, death explosions.

I reckon they will double down on it, considering how popular Dragonborn are with players.

The origins of Dragonborn haven't really been addressed in 5E, so I think we will see that tackled here, along with Draconians as a local type.

I bet dragonborn WILL NOT be the result of corrupting stolen good dragon eggs with monstrous blood rituals dedicated to a dark goddess.

No way. Considering how Joe Manganiello already leaked that WotC were playing with rules for Draconians (that he got to play with), and that WotC always wants to provide more rules for different race options, I definitely think they'll want to at least make a new subrace of dragonborn to cover Draconians.

Why not? Everyone has to start somewhere. Draconians have been PCs in previous Dragonlance books, anyways.
