In the current 5e monster book format, as exhibited by VGtM and MToF, are dragons important enough to fill their own book? Conversely, if not, are dragons so important that they might overshadow other creature types in the same book? If the book has dragons and other types of creatures, what theme do you go with to link them? VGtM could get away with being a miscellany as it was the first and miscellaneous knowledge is in Volo's character, but MToF had a loose theme of universal conflict, and it would seem any subsequent monster book would benefit from at least a this sort of loose theme.Beyond this, there is something of a hint in the introduction of VGtM, where, after listing the creatures covered in the book, it states that they would, if the book proved to be successful (which of course it was), they would cover other creature types, specifically singling out githyanki, fiends, dragons, and undead. Githyanki and fiends were covered in MtoF; does that indicate that dragons and undead will be covered in the next monster book? If so, what sort of theme might we be looking at? As Sammaster was the creator of the first dracoliches, maybe Sammaster's Guide to Dragons and Undead? Maybe creatures of magic (dragons, undead, and fey?)(I am definitely of the opinion, stated earlier in the thread, that the announcement will be a VGtM-style monster book, focused (maybe just in part) on dragons).</blockquote>
