Today, I am going to talk turkey with fellow historian and bestselling author, Michael Witwer. His books, such as Empire of Imagination, the acclaimed biography of Gary Gygax, and the lavish Dungeons & Dragons: Art & Arcana, have helped bring the hidden history of role-playing games into the mainstream. His work combines deep research with a storyteller's flair, making the origins of our hobby vivid, human, and dramatic. Today he's here to talk about his brand-new book, Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Dragons! It is the definitive illustrated guide to dragons; the most iconic creatures in the D&D universe, the ultimate draconic compendium.
