I’ve seen it around the internet, but not here. On the digital front page of D&D. Someone on the marketing team needs a quick lesson. Seriously, ign — nominally a video game website — has it, but nothing here?
Anyway, looks like a $40 hardcover that’s pure lore (no rules of any sort) about dragons. Release on Aug. 15 according to Amazon.
If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
This seems more in line with those Young Adventurers books, which also aren't listed on DDB
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Active characters:
Carric Aquissar, elven wannabe artist in his deconstructionist period (Archfey warlock) Lan Kidogo, mapach archaeologist and treasure hunter (Knowledge cleric) Mardan Ferres, elven private investigator obsessed with that one unsolved murder (Assassin rogue) Xhekhetiel, halfling survivor of a Betrayer Gods cult (Runechild sorcerer/fighter)
There a lot of DND content that contain no rules and are meant for other market segments that don't get big announcements. And given this is a lore only book, it wouldn't belong on DNDB anyhow. A digital version would most likely be sold for Kindle or Nook.
It's apparently a refresh of a YA Dragonlance lore supplement from years ago, whether it stays that specific or gets more generalized once released.
The Practically Complete Guide to Dragons combines the very best content from three classic bestsellers: A Practical Guide to Dragons, A Practical Guide to Dragon Riding, and A Practical Guide to Dragon Magic. Fully updated with all the latest lore, this indispensable volume contains everything new adventurers need to know about the most iconic monsters of fantasy!
Which are books I had no idea existed before this.

They’re from earlier editions.
Which is an exciting trend! We might get updates of Libris Mortis, or Lords of Madness, or Weapons of Legacy, or who knows what else 😃

I'm curious how this compares to Fizban's.

That makes some sense. Could just be that. I mean, kids use the internet, pretty much all the time. But that would at least be consistent.
