[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 6936144, member: 6780330"] So, one reasonn I could see a pure Dragon book, is that the Draconmicon was, as I understand ot, one of the bestselling books in the edition: sold like hotcakes, and the topic is big enough for the space: a cursory look at 10 Dragons the MM took up 10% of that book! So, in VGtM, each of the 9 deep dive monsters get about 11 pages of material: I cursorily count 27 types of Drafons (11 Metallic, 10 Chromatic and six Gem), which at that rate would take up a wmbook the size of the 3E Draconomicon just with flavor and lairs! Because what I would like to see, is each type of Dragon getting extensive tables to ccreate an individual of that type (no confusing Bronze and Brass Sragons,!), with lairs for in game use. Maybe not all 27, like just 15-20 would probably be nice. Rules for playing Dragons, tables for Dragon hoards including special magic items, new spells for Dragon Magic...not to mention just stat blocks. I could see such a book being on one hand, very focused on Dragons, but also full of goddies: and it would probably make bank, and possibly even sell beyond the normal market for such a book because people love themselves some Dragons.
