Summary: A great resource for dragon fans
Review: If you think the Dragon section in the Monster Manual just isn't detailed enough for your tastes, this is the book for you.It has tons of both flavor and crunch, including information on the anatomy, physiology, life cycle, history and culture of dragons. There are prestige classes, magic items, feats and spells appropriate for both dragon characters and non-dragon characters. This book is useful for both players and DMs. From a player's perspective, it includes information on how to fight a dragon, and how to aquire a dragon mount or cohort, or even play a dragon as a PC. For the DMs, there is information on how to effectively run a dragon in combat, including how and when to use each of a dragon's numerous combat options, new dragon and dragon-like monsters, how to incorporate dragons into an adventure or a campaign, and most importantly, sample dragons of each major type at each age category, and sample lairs. If you have ever wanted to include dragons in your campaign, this is just the book for you. Even if you didn't, after you read this book, you might just change your mind.

Summary: Oooo...dragons...
Review: Long-time D&D players will note that this is the second Draconomicon, the first being a AD&D 2nd Edition softcover that covered dragons in nowhere near the detail that this does. This version of Draconomicon goes into great gobs of detail about D&D dragons...their life, death, anatomy, and psychology. They also discuss how dragons can fit into a campaign; not only as opponents, but as NPCs, cohorts, or even PCs. There are also quite a few new dragon-centered feats, skills, magic items, spells, and prestige classes, both for dragons themselves and for the mortals who cower in terror/awe around them. I personally like the Initiate of the Draconic Mysteries, a monk-themed class that starts to hit REALLY HARD as you go up in level. Some material has been reprinted, such as epic feats from the Epic-Level Handbook. There are also quite a few new monsters in this...while the vast majority are of the Dragon type, or dragon-shaped, there are golems and undead, as well as one irritating little vermin. You'll also get to enjoy sample hoards, to get an idea of what that dragon might normally have in its bed and or/couch. Finally, in the back, you'll find stat blocks and write-ups for 120 separate dragons...10 kinds of dragon (all the chromatics and metallics) and 12 age categories. Each of these can serve as an opponent, a client, or an ally, or sometimes all three. In summation, this is an incredibly detailed source on dragons, and it's quite nice. Both DMs and players can use it. However, if you don't like or use dragons much, don't bother, and stea... borrow a friend's copy.

Summary: Been there, done that.
Review: Not as good as the one done for Second ed. It is good, but not worth the full price. They don't add enough new stuff to make it worth while. They even left out the Sunwyrm from the Fiend Folio.

Summary: What the crap? What IS this?!
Review: So i happened upon this book in my searches for medieval art and manuscripts. This promised me in depth knowledge of dragons and other mythical beasts. As for the people who like this, I'm sorry to inform you that nothing in this book is real or accurate. At first i thought this was a work of fiction, but the plot was seriously lacking. Each character was introduced for only a page or two, then ignored for the rest of the book. This book is set up like a historical text, but there is no truth on its pages. I dont know what more i can say.

Summary: Dragons (what else can I say?)
Review: The best book about dragons ever. Perfect to any campaign world but even more useful to Dragonlance. Dragon feats, human feats, Ecology information, sample dragons of every type, new draconic creatures and the best pictures. I DO recommend it.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: The Draconomicon is a wonderful reference book, both its artwork and text reflecting the authors passion for the subject matter. Over the years, I have sifted through a multitude of D&D supplements and found only a few treasures. This book is one of those treasures.

Summary: Thar Be Dragons Here
Review: The folks at Wizards have out done them selves on this one. If you wanted to know about dragons than this is the one shop stop. It covers everything from physiology, psychology, and society to how to run an effective dragon. This book covers running a dragon as an effective adversary as well as how they can fit into your campaign. It is loaded with dragon feats, spells, magic items, and tactics. They don't forget about PC's either. They have new feats and spells for characters that are dragon based. They have an in depth chapter on the dragon lairs and society. And of course new creatures and dragons. All in all one of the most complete and comprehensive books Wizards and TSR has put out in many years (and I have been roll playing and purchasing products for over 25 years). If you like or want to use dragons in your campaign at all I would HIGHLY recommend this book. I hope this is a peek into the future of all of Wizards roll playing works.

Summary: useful resource and a fun book
Review: The new draconomicon is outstanding in my mind. Lots of useful information on dragons in campaigns, a lot of new angles to take on how dragons would interact with the world. Theres tons of other cool stuff in there too. The artwork is also top notch, we all pretend not to care about the art in gaming books but it does make a huge difference when they have pictures as cool as these

Summary: Dragons are cool. Live with it.
Review: This book is AWESOME! This has all the information on Dragons that anyone needs to spice up a campaign. From detailed pages on dragon phisiology, to descriptions of Draconic Deities, this book has it all. My favorite part would be the part on using dragons as player characters. Me and my friends are really exited about our new dragon campaign, complete with accurate challenges. Also really cool is the sample dragons. Complete stats for every dragon type and every age category, this is an invaluable tool for using dragons in a pinch.
