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...

I have no idea what this thread is about anymore.

the price will stay high as the company is about making money thus they only drop the price for selfish reasons.

Lower prices attract customers. Selfish reasons work.

assuming it can be sold that low with out losing profit.

 

[Maxperson]

What principle?

The principle of wasting your time - time is money?

The principle of increasing store overheads paying staff that are then passed onto the customer?

I'm not wasting my time. And I'm not increasing their overhead. I'm not letting them decrease it at my expense by not doing their job.

assuming it can be sold that low ith out losing profit.

Of course. Which is why "keeping local jobs" is a false morality.

I'm not wasting my time. And I'm not increasing their overhead. I'm not letting them decrease it at my expense by not doing their job.

Especially when it's clear they actually think self service increases how much money they keep despite that not helping their business in the long run.

Anyway back to the thread, will this book be limited to just dragons or will it discuss various settings including Krynn or will it be kept to just a few favourites likes Faerun?

I'm not wasting my time.

Maybe you have infinite time, but what about those people who are desperately pushed for time (e.g. teachers) and don't want to waste it queuing at checkouts?

And I'm not increasing their overhead.

You are if you are insisting they employ people to do a job you could do more efficiently yourself.

I'm not letting them decrease it at my expense by not doing their job.

Their job is to supply you with groceries. Part of which is organising payment as efficiently as possible. Self checkouts are the product of technological advance, just as cash registers replaced the abacus.

Because it's an invaluable aid to me in running monsters and I don't want to do their work for them. Simply describing behaviors in a simple few sentences will help, but not nearly as much as alignment does. They are even less likely to give me an in depth view of each dragon in the way that 2e did than they are to put alignment in as an optional rule, which means that I'm going to have to do the work of determining each dragon's alignment myself, and I have a thing about doing the work of a corporation for them. I refuse to use self-checkout at grocery stores as well.

All that this tells me is that you're lazy, entitled, or both, especially the dig at self-checkouts. Retail workers and other "essential workers" do way too much for too little compensation already, I'd rather not add to that if possible.

All that this tells me is that you're lazy, entitled, or both, especially the dig at self-checkouts.

I can't help your misinterpretation of the situation. Perhaps you should grow your own food so you don't lazily go to the store expecting food in an entitled manner.

Note: I don't actually think you're lazy or entitled for going to the store, but it's the same thing you're accusing me of there.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I have no idea what this thread is about anymore.

Apparenty, self-checkouts are now inherently evil and must be destroyed when encountered in the wild. They must all be shapeshifted Mimics.
