D&D chooses chaos with magical cards and reveals new book info

gamesradar.com:

While the rest of the gaming world might be talking about PlayStation, D&D just staged a tease of its own for the adventures it's got lined up in 2023.

Following news that the price of new D&D books would be going up, the team at Wizards of the Coast offered more concrete details on what those books will actually feature. That includes release dates, previously unseen artwork, and even an unexpected new book (The Practically Complete Guide to Dragons).

For example, we got a better look at The Deck of Many Things ahead of its November launch. This is shaping up to be a little bigger than a simple set of cards to use in your game; it comes with a full book detailing how to use the Deck, new monsters, and various character options.

You can find more info on the new Dungeons and Dragons books below. 

We already knew that this was going to be a collection of lore and rules in the vein of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, but it's now been revealed that the book will allow players to use "giants as a character subclass." For Dungeon Masters, there's also info about creating encounters using these creatures.

It looks like we'll have enough to draw inspiration from. Along with details about their gods and social structure, the bestiary contains 76 stat blocks with Challenge Ratings from 1/2 to 27. We're getting info on how giants create elemental or undead varieties too, so that's bound to come in useful for homebrew campaigns.

The book itself will be "described through the eyes and experiences of Bigby, the iconic wizard," but the giant demigod Diancastra is also going to have a hand in the telling.

You can pre-order this book for $59.95 at Amazon, or £48.30 via Amazon UK.
