I slayed a dragon and found this sitting atop its
treasure hoard. Tonight at some point we shall
explore it together with a flip through review of
Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons! #dnd
As always, it’ll be a first-look where I look at its
contents for the first tine along with you. This one
interests me for two reasons:
1. The obvious Dragonalance tie
2. @aquelajames is the lead designer and I am a
fan.
This flip through will have to wait until Sunday
because I’m hanging out with my girl. it’s a
good Saturday night!

That led to more fantasy, including really
discovering and playing #dnd. I had the Red and
Blue BECMI boxes as a kid in PR, but I didn’t really
understand what they were or how to use them. It
was very foreign to me.
So it’s very fair to say that Dragonlance was my first
foray into fantasy and #dnd… it’s why a book like
this in 5e that finally brings a Dragonlance NPC
front and center, makes me smile.
Let’s see what old Fizban, Hero of the Lance, avatar
of Paladine and embodiment of Lawful Goodness
has to say about dragons in Disban’s Treasury of
Dragons, @Wizards_DnD’s latest hardcover, due
out this Tuesday.
If you follow me, by now you know the drill. This is
a first glance at the book, pointing out stuff that
catches my eye. I have yet to open and read it. I also
need to mention (and thank) my friends at WOTC
for supplying me with a press/review copy of the
book.
The lead designer of this book is @aquelajames, a
long time #dnd designer I am a big fan of. Here are
the rest of the credits.
Shout out to cartographer @DysonLogos, as I’m a
fan of the style.
Table of contents.
The book opens with a sort of creation story for
dragons.
Fizban and one of the seven canaries.
The book introduces gem dragons (in a 1st party
product at least) to 5e. @jamesjhaeck wrote a gem
dragon supplement for Kobold Press. It’ll be
interesting to see how close he came to these!

All the world of the multiverse, the primes,
apparently came from a single world forged by
Bahamut and Tiamat.
Faerun, Greyhawk, Krynn, and Eberron each get a
quick primer on how they fit into the dragon
creation story.
Character options are all obviously centered on
dragonborn characters.
Nice piece!
Gem Dragonborns.
Monks and Rangers each get a subclass.
Dude. 5e art gets better with every book.
Seven new spells, including one where Fizban is
name checked.
I love how Bahamut takes on several forms
throughout the art. Very nice.
13 new magic items, including these two…
Oh nice. This is a new thing. Hoard magic items.
I need to read this more in depth. Not quite getting
how they work at a quick glance, but it seems
interesting.
Draconic Gifts
If I see Fizban, then I call it Dragonlance art!
Okay, a whole chapter for DMs on roleplaying
dragons and using them in campaigns and
adventures.
I kind of love this section on naming dragons.
Art for every stage of a dragon’s life
Another form for Bahamut!
Okay this is cool. Plot hooks for dragon
organizations across the multiverse.
A dragon as a business owner? A crime boss?
Teacher? Expand your expectations of what a
dragon adventure can be!
Oh….shiiiiit……
Look at this. 3 as of yet unpublished (in 5e)
examples for dragon campaigns. Hints?
