The Draconomicon is an optional sourcebook for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, providing supplementary game material focusing on dragons. It was authored by Andy Collins, Skip Williams and James Wyatt, and published by Wizards of the Coast in November of 2003. Its name would loosely be translated to Book of Dragon Names as a reference to the Necronomicon.
The book offers information on the physiology and mind of dragons within the Dungeons & Dragons game world, advice for Dungeon Masters on how to use dragons in their campaign, new prestige classes, magic items, spells, gods, adventure hooks, and new monsters, all with a dragon theme.
[edit] Other Books
The first book for Dungeons & Dragons by this title was published in 1990, and written by Ed Greenwood for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting; then again in 1999 by Wizards of the Coast with new cover artwork. Both editions of the book contain the same information but a Wizards of the Coast logo is included in latter.
Draconomicon was also the name of a 1997 expansion pack for the Spellfire collectible card game. It was released shortly before the buyout of TSR, Inc. by Wizards of the Coast.
[edit] 2nd Edition
The 3rd edition "Draconomicon" book shares its name with a previous book from the 2nd edition of the same name.
