November Releases Up on Amazon

[M.L. Martin]

Am I really the first person to break this news?

Draconomicon I: Chromatic Dragons (D&D Rules Expansion)

Same size and price point as the 3.5 Draconomicon . . . and focused entirely on evil dragons.

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Starter Set (D&D Introductory Game)

And for my fellow STAR WARS fans . . .

Scum and Villainy

 

[Mistwell]

I hope the Introductory Game is the equivalent to the "Basic Set".

An entire book for chromatic dragons? Color me curious!

Hey, aren't chromatic dragons free of their "usually evil" shackles?

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Yup they are, the main distinction between Chromatic and Metallic Dragons in terms of their behaviour are:

-Chromatics: Much more predatorial and ferocious, have a higher tendency to hoard treasure.

-Metallic: They are more found of power and authority.

The "dragon book" mentioned by the Israeli source before Gencon is finally official. I think that's the last of his reveals.

Also, chromatic is not necessarily evil in 4e.

 

[WyzardWhately]

I wonder what the pagecount on that is. It'd have to be a hell of a book to justify 40 USD, especially being narrower than the first Draconomicon. Maybe it has a lot of new stuff in it, spells, rituals, powers, feats, epic destinies, maybe a new class, a number of prebuilt encounters, maybe a mini-adventure or at least a couple of maps.

...but even with all that, the metallic/chromatic split doesn't seem to make as much sense as I'd like it to.

EDIT: Oh, there it is. 288 pages.

It says 288 pages on Amazon.

Edit: Saw it before I hit "post"

Good one.

 

[Almacov]

Blast.

If the illustration and writing quality in the new Draconomicon is as good as it was in the first one, this means I'm going to have to buy more than just the core rules, FRCS and APG this edition.

Dastardly WotC, pulling ye olde dragon card again.

In any case, I hope they keep fairly true to most of the evocative visual dragon design Lockwood put together in this edition. I've heard they only altered the green dragon design though, so I'm not terribly worried. (Though hopefully they'll bring back the brass and bronze for the second Draconomicon volume or MM2)

[Oh, 576 pages of high-quality dragon-ey goodness split between two volumes does sound pretty appealing...]

 

[Wolfspider]

I wonder if there will be a chapter on chromatic boobies.
