‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Reveals ‘Dragons Delves’ Covers

Welcome to the table,

Dragons are a fundamental part of Dungeons & Dragons. It’s half of the name of the game! Beyond that, though, these legendary creatures are ancient, powerful, and intelligent entities. They fill our fantasy landscape with wonder and worry as they hoard treasure, ransack kingdoms, and steal powerful magic items, all while engaging in all manner of mysteries, and, sometimes, malevolent machinations.

It’s strange that, as someone who has run D&D for most of my life, I can think of less than six occasions my party has ever actually fought a dragon. There are less than fifty times they have actually encountered one. When you consider my average game session runs around 6 hours, and I was running at least one game a week over multiple decades, we are looking at thousands of hours. During all those hours, this iconic symbol of the hobby had no presence.

While that sounds a bit unhinged, I don’t think my experience is all that unique. Dragons carry such weight that it can often be intimidating or even world breaking to fold these flying friends and foes into the game. That’s why I think it is so rad that D&D is putting out a book that focuses on just that. Jess Lanzillo, VP of Product and Franchise for D&D gave us a look the covers for this new book, Dungeons & Dragons: Dragons Delves, at MagicCon Chicago 2025.

Dragon Delves, available on July 8th, 2025, is said to be unlike any other book released in the 50-year history of D&D. It will provide players and storytellers with ten short adventures centered around each of the ten chromatic and metallic dragons within the game. It’s epic to see this level of care going into an adventure book that will hopefully push those running a game into using these absolute icons at the table.

Each adventure has been designed to be easy to pick up and play, uniquely showcasing how new Dungeon Masters and Storytellers can easily prep for a game.

In addition, the book is going to include a visual history of dragons in D&D, making it a useful resource for those who want to go off book or just enjoy reading through lore and history in The Forgotten Realms.

The Dungeons & Dragons team continues to impress me with each new offering as they strive to make the table more and more accessible to new players while providing memorable experience for long time fans.

Until next time, Blue Dragons are my favorite … in case anyone was wondering.
