A new Dungeons & Dragons guidebook is coming out later this year. DK Books has announced The Book of Dragons, a new guidebook featuring the dragons of D&D. The new book is written by Michael Witwer and will be released in August 2025. The 224-page book isn't a rulebook but rather a licensed book that focuses on the lore of dragons. The book is written at least partially from the perspectives of Tiamat and Bahamut.

Oh goodness no, that is just run of the mil 2024 art (IMO of course). I also have several design and artistic issues with that piece actually (though I am picking when it comes to dragons). Here is, if not my favorite, definitely my favorite red dragon art of 2024/25. I love the slain gold dragon in the foreground.

As the first pick shows off, scaling in DnD can sometimes be an impediment because of the face that creatures need to function as 5x5 squares. That dragon is larger than a football field. No way you could place that on your game table.
Well technically gargantuan creatures have no size limit. It’s 4 by 4 squares or larger for them.
