Hmm... I can't wait for that book. Any details if this is going to complete the Draconomicon as CoV/PGtoF are now completing BoVD/BoED?
If so, I'm thinking I'll have to yield yet more dough to WotC and get the Draconomicon at once... |

| Hm . . . Since we are seeing this pairing of core D&D books with Realms specific ones, I wonder if we will be seeing a Realms book that has to do with undead. Then again, there currently isn't a novel tie in to a major undead story line either. |

I think this has more to do with the Year of Dragons than tying it to the new Draconomicon...personally, though, I'd'be looking forward far more to a "Dragons of Eberron" book, as the nebulous dragons of that setting could really use some description... |

| Some stuff tying into Races of the Dragon perhaps. Aside from the costly and unplayable until 5th level Half-Dragon, or the odd Kobold here or there, there are surprisingly few playable Draconic races in Dungeons and Dragons. |

A question for the authors (Whoever they maybe)
Will Dragons of Faerun assume you have access to the Draconomicon and Races of Dragon?
While I own the former I wasnt planning on buying the later...... |

| Well, if its like Champions of Valor and Champions of Ruin, they both use some material from the Book of Exalted Deeds and the Book of Vile Darkness, but they reprint the relevant information that they use, without reprinting whole swaths of the book. I would imagine it would follow the same general pattern. |

I think their marketing idea is to leave a few references to these other books to get people hooked into buying them. Kind of the way you need a razor, and then you need blades - but not as blatant. Good marketing strategy - least it always seems to work on me!
I just hope this book details a lot more about other dragon races rather than just telling us what dragon is where in Faerun and what the Rage did to them. That would be a bit blah. They should focus on all the FR dragons the way Draconimicon focused on all of the core dragons.
