Fall 2025 Preview: ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Books From Ten Speed Press And Clarkson Potter

by Anton Kromoff

Welcome to the table,

My pals at Ten Speed Press and Clarkson Potter have a ton of new Dungeons & Dragons books hitting the table this year, just in time for the holidays. For those of you who like to make your lists early, check out these fun new titles coming to the table.

A Young Adventure’s Guide: The Warriors & Wizards Compendium

Jim Zub, Stacy King, and Andrew Wheeler are at the helm of this new offering from the Young Adventurer’s Guide collection. This time, they are diving into a compendium that focuses on Warriors and Wizards. This book has everything that a player starting out needs to help them get inspired and help them create a character as they are starting on their adventure.

I have always liked these Young Adventurer’s Guides, and I’m sure this one is going to be a ton of fun. It is set to include information on ten playable species, guidance for selecting weapons and gear, and ways to go about choosing your class and background. You can pre-order at this link.

Dragons of the Realms

Dragons of the Realms is an official Dungeons & Dragons coloring book that features 80 pages of official Dungeons & Dragons dragon and dragon-related line drawings. What is cool about this book is that it has thick, non-bleed paper, so you can use a larger selection of mediums to color the pages, making it great for those young and young at heart to like to color between the lines. You can check this out at this link.

The Dungeon Master’s Campaign Journal

I’ve been waiting for this one, and the cover featuring a terrifying version of Venger from the D&D Animated Series is absolutely delightful. This campaign journal is tailor-made for Storytellers and Dungeon Masters, providing adventure prompts, indexes, and templates to help bring your games to life.

There is art from illustrator Hydro74 on the front cover, and I am told Warduke is on the back. Being a huge fan of Warduke, I am beside myself about that feature and can’t wait to see it. This is going to be a great tool for those who like a little elevation in their campaign notes. You can score yours at this link.

The Player’s Campaign Journal

Players are also getting a cool campaign journal this holiday season. This journal features prompts, indexes, and templates to help you track NPCs, factions, creatures, moments at the table, other party members, and things your Storyteller tells you and you forget because you are busy trying to track down some goofball NPC named Bobblin the Gobblin Gobin.

For those playing the newest version of D&D there is also a bit in here that helps you keep track of your bastions, and that alone makes this rad in my opinion. It also has a super cool cover from Hydro74 featuring a roper on the front cover and a gelatinous cube on the back.

Dungeons & Dragons Crochet

Before we go, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of this radical little offering that features 20 Crochet Patterns of delightful Dungeon & Dragons-themed designs. Dungeons & Dragons Crochet provides casual fans and crocheters of all skill levels a chance to bring their favorite in-game elements to life. There are patterns by Sharon Posey, Alysia Sly, Rebecca Stone, and Lydia Viatoris for the Owlbear Cub plushie, the Gloves of Missile Snaring, and a Bag of Holding. In addition to the lore-related items, there are classic visual elements, like the Schools of Magic’s symbols, granny squares, and a larger-than-life D20 pillow.

Dungeons & Dragons Crochet is packed with photography and step-by-step instructions with pages that lay flat when open. You can pre-order this at the link.

Until next time, I for one want all of these and have already started asking about how I can get a magic symbols grabby square vest made.
