Advice, encouragement, and storytelling tips provide strategies for dealing with dragon encounters, hoards of treasure, and draconic artifacts, along with action-packed illustrations that will ignite your imagination.

Dungeons & Dragons launched the great tradition of roleplaying games in 1974 with an unprecedented mix of adventure and strategy, dice-rolling, and storytelling. Wizards of the Coast continues to honor that tradition, bringing to market a diverse range of D&D game and entertainment experiences and influencing numerous writers, directors, and game designers by tapping into an innate human need to gather with friends and tell an exciting story together.

Introduction

When people think of fantasy worlds, they always imagine dragons!

Majestic and terrifying, mysterious and magical, dragons are at the center of many iconic fantasy stories. Seeking their influence or treasures can lead you to an untold number of epic quests. There’s a reason why the world’s most popular roleplaying game is called Dungeons & Dragons, after all. Dragons are special.

This book will show you the vast potential of these mythical winged creatures—from their anatomy and abilities to their legends and enchanted objects. It will tell you about their life cycle and their behaviors, and advise you on how to emerge victorious if you ever face a dragon in battle.

Read this book from start to finish, or open it to any spot, be drawn in by the exciting artwork, and start expanding your knowledge from there. The more you discover, the more ideas you’ll have for crafting your own exceptional tales with a distinctly draconic flare.

Will the dragons you create terrify the countryside as their massive shadows blot out the sun overhead, or will they be mysterious, hidden allies, guiding your heroes in ways not yet realized? In the end, it’s up to you. Dungeons & Dragons is all about discovery, and your dragon journey is about to take flight!
