A "dumbed-down" version of a dragon guidebook. FOMO got the better of me here, and I kind of regret it. As a book, it's not exactly bad, but it's aimed—and I really want to emphasize this—at absolute beginners. For long-time players, it brings absolutely nothing new to the table in my opinion.
And honestly, if I want to know something about dragons, I'd rather reach into the archives and pull out the D&D 3.5 Draconomicon, which contains many times more information. This book really feels like an outline of the Draconomicon, both in text and illustrations. And even though it's an outdated manual, nothing—and I mean nothing—prevents you from using it for the current edition or whatever the Wizards have planned for their respectable 50th anniversary.
If you're just starting out, it's okay (2 stars), but there are still better options. Otherwise, I'm too disappointed to give it any stars at all.
Dumb enough verze příručky o dracích. FOMOs mě zde přemohl a trochu toho lituji. Jako kniha sama o sobě není vyloženě špatná, ale je cílena opravdu a toto opravdu zdůrazňuji pro úplné začátečníky. Pro letité hráče nepřináší dle mého vůbec nic nového.
A hlavně pokud budu chtít něco o dracích tak raději si sáhnu do archivu a vytáhnu DD 3.5 - Draconomicon, ve kterém je množstí informací několika násobně vícero. Opravdu mi přijde tato kniha jako osnova Draconomiconu ať už textem i ilustracemi. A byť se již jedná o příručku neaktuální, tak jejímu použití pro současnou edici či čehokoli co pro nás Wizardi plánují v rámci oslav úctyhodných 50-ti let, vůbec, ale opravdu vůbec nic, nebrání.
Pokud začínáte ok (2 hvězdičky), ale i tak jsou lepší. V ostatních případech, příliš znechucen dávat jakoukoli hvězdičku.
