Enter the Dragons

Since the beginning, dragons have held a unique place in man’s mythology. Powerful and savage, with fiery breath and massive wings, they rampage across the countryside in search of plunder or rule mighty nations with iron claws. Their fabulous treasure hoards are the stuff of legend, and those few brave warriors who stand against them are assured their place in history—if they survive.

Dragons Revisited puts a new spin on these timeless monsters, reimagining them for the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting while keeping true to their mythological and gaming roots. Within these 64 pages you’ll find in-depth ecologies for the ten most popular dragon types—both the scheming chromatics and the noble metallics—detailing their biology, society, and relations to other creatures. Learn what wonders their lavish lairs contain, and how cunningly they’re guarded. Delve into draconic history within the world of Golarion, and peruse handy sample statistics for each dragon type, ready to be dropped straight into your own adventures along with new feats, advice on using dragons in your campaigns, and other indispensable game materials. Most importantly, discover which dragons look kindly on humanity, and which ones regard all lesser creatures as food. Because getting the two mixed up can be extremely unpleasant.

Fortunately, it’s a mistake you won’t make twice.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar The Dragons of Golarion
Reviewer: Eric Hinkle

Now, admittedly, dragons aren't my favorite D&D critters, so I went in to this with hopes of simply something workable -- and I got pleasantly surprised. Much of this is due to the very new takes on these various dragons. It's hard to say what's best, but certainly the evil-yet-schlolarly greens (and their counterparts, the bronzes) were one of the bigger and better surprises.

It's a good book and it does a fine job of covering some of the most iconic creatures of Dungeons and Dragons.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Fluff and Stuff
Reviewer: Mikhaila Burnett

I am totally behind Paizo's effort to apply what is, essentially, a fresh coat of paint to some classic monsters.

While there are no new RULES per se in this and other Chronicles 'monster' books, the content is superb and is greatly appreciated.

The joys of reading about noble Golds, viscious and sadistic Blacks and gregarious Coppers has put many smiles on both my face and that of my wife.

I'm champing at the bit to find out how much more incredible my encounters with dragonkind will be with this book in hand, and am already adapting a bit of its contents to my own characters of draconic descent.

Three cheers for Paizo for such wonderful fluff!

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Great take on the classic monster
Reviewer: Garland

Really this book is on par with the Classic Monster Revisited. Although it is a fluff book as noted, which may turn off some people to the purchase.

Excellent inspiration source material.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Review: Dragons Revisited
Reviewer: Mr Baron

For the full write up, please see my blog at:

Summary throughts:

It is important to note that this is a fluff book. Outside the sample dragons at the end of each section, the rest is fluff, which is done by design. The intent of the “Revisited’ series is to provide a new spin on classic creatures, which the emphasis on fluff rather than crunch. Upon reading through the write ups, I would say that Paizo has aligned most of the commonly held dragon themes together, and there are very few surprises contained inside. That is not to say that the write ups were predictable or unimaginative, but they captured commonly held canon, and expanded on these ideas a bit, with a Golarion theme woven throughout. Even if one is not using the Pathfinder’s universe, the book is still quite usable. By removing the crunch, Paizo has made the book usable for all editions of play, which I applaud them for. The content was very enjoyable to read through, and although most of the ideas were familiar to me, I still found them interesting and engaging. Perhaps my favorite write up was the crafty and manipulative blue dragon, which happens to be one of my favorite of the evil dragons.

To conclude, do we need another fluff book on dragons? No, probably not. However, Paizo has done a nice job in packaging this one, that I think will appeal to all the folks out there that just like dragons, which still seems to be a considerable number of folks. Do I think this one will sell well? Yes I do. It’s a nice book just to flip through, if you are just looking for some ideas on how to make a dragon interesting. While the Draconomicon maybe a more exhaustive tome, Paizo’s version is more of a reader’s digest version, and sometimes that is all one really needs anyway.
