It&apos;s a fun counterpoint to the trio of core rulebooks from 5e&apos;s initial release, which showed adventurers fighting a beholder, a lich, and a giant\u2014a reminder that all of the big beasties in D&#038;D aren&apos;t always out to hurt you.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&apos;re wondering why a dragon&apos;s getting all lovey-dovey\u2014good-aligned dragons have been a thing in D&#038;D lore forever, namely the ones of the metallic variety. The choice of a gold dragon here is especially cute, since D&#038;D is having its 50th anniversary this year. In other words, its golden anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The party itself is full of callbacks, too, as GameInformer reveals. Strongheart the &#8220;Good Paladin&#8221;, Elkhorn the &#8220;Good Dwarf Fighter&#8221;, Mercion the &#8220;Good Cleric Female&#8221;\u2014it was, uh, a different time\u2014and Molliver the &#8220;Lawful Thief&#8221; all make an appearance here. They&apos;re characters from the AD&#038;D days, based on a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/media.wizards.com\/2021\/dnd\/dragon\/39\/dnd_dra39_questheartstone.pdf\">set of toy figurines<\/a>. Yolande the Elven queen from the Greyhawk setting is also here to blast some fools.<\/p>\n<p>A cute detail highlighted by GameInformer is &#8220;a separate piece of art on the reverse side of the Player\u2019s Handbook&#8221;, which features an unnamed second party of heroes riding on the gold dragon&apos;s back. Sort of a coy passing of the torch.<\/p>\n<p>The revised Player&apos;s Handbook will be available for pre-orders alongside the new Monster Manual and Dungeon Master&apos;s guide June 18, though the Player&apos;s Handbook will be the first to actually release September 17, followed by the Dungeon Master&apos;s Guide November 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Monster Manual will trail in early 2025, February 18, though as previously mentioned all of this stuff should still be backwards-compatible for the time being\u2014so your group won&apos;t be short of monsters to brawl while they get used to the remixed ruleset.<\/p>\n<p>I&apos;ve been a bit of a curmudgeon about this upcoming not-exactly-a-new-edition, but this cover objectively slaps, and it has me excited to see what else Wizards of the Coast has cooked for its other three books.
