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...

Fizban the Fabulous by Vera Gentinetta

Yeah, that was stuff that was added later to the 4e lore, just like the Primal Spirits and the Far Realm invasion. IIRC, it's mentioned in one the Dragon articles, that the world got shattered by Tharizdun and that that created different versions of the Prime.

I think this First World stuff was added by Primal Power book yes?

I wonder if the First World will be one of the original settings they're developing.

That would be awesome. I would buy the heck out of that book, especially if it doubled as a "Prehistoric World" setting.

Some time last night it broke into the tens and I caught it at 11. Though I think it hit number 1 or very close at some point.

Any idea why this is labelled Romantic Fantasy?

In 4e? It's called the First Work, and it was first mentioned in the WotC preview books (IIRC, Worlds & Monsters), and was later mentioned in the first DMG. So, the concept of an "original world" was there since the beginning. The shattering of the world and the creation of the multiverse was added later, in a Dragon article that covers the lore of the Sharns in 4e. It was by the time of either the PHB 2 or Primal Power, I don't remember exactly.

The algorithm probably noted similarities between DragonLance and other Romantic Fantasy concepts (they aren't romances)

I just want to throw in, this is not an indicative value of anything... every time a new D&D book has been announced, it jumps to the top of the charts because of people logging their pre-orders all at once. They then tick down as time passes.

The same thing happened to both Strixhaven and Witchlight when they were announced, and now Strixhaven is #13 in D&D, and Witchlight #8. They don't stay as #1 for very long so it's difficult to measure sales until a month or two after actual release.

It absolutely is indicative of meaning. How many BOOKS (not just rpg books) break above 1000 on Amazon? And not all of the 5e books have hit #1. the duration of a low number means a lot more, I’ll give you that.

Dragons sell books.

I'm now imagining a dragon who writes and publishes books in order to sell and grow their hoard.
