[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 3732997, member: 18182"] While the news is out of the bag that 4e is on the way and has been in the works for two years or so, this book isn't (wasn't?) a "predictor" for 4e. It's a sequel, or rather follow-up, to the "Practical Guide to Dragons". These books aren't filler between 3e and 4e but rather they are targeting a different demographic and aren't even gamebooks at all. They go along with the "Knights of the Silver Dragon" and "Dragonlance New Adventure" novels for young adults. Wizards is aiming for what I call the "Harry Potter" market, fantasy novels and art books aimed at kids. Go into your local B&N or Borders and take a look thru the YA section and gander at the dragon and other fantasy art/story books by various publishers, this is what the "Practical Guide" series is shooting for. Absolutely nothing to do with 4e. Or 3e. Now, the "Wizards Presents" line slated for later this year, that is definitely a 4e "predictor"! [/QUOTE]
