From @RollForCombat comes a new 100+ page hardcover book by Paizo designer Mark Seifter that makes dragons into a playable race or ancestry for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e respectively! Balanced by some of the most experienced designers in the tabletop industry and creatively imagined with over 40 types of dragons, including one conceptualized by @GinnyDi, we chat with Mark about whether this book is the definitive answer to the question: "Can I be a dragon?"
