Ten Speed Press and subsidiary Clarkson Potter have announced four new officially licensed D&D books for the fall. None are essential to gameplay but most are intended to enhance it, like the Dungeon Master’s Campaign Journal and the Player’s Campaign Journal, both available on the same day in November. They’re templates and organizers designed to help DMs design quests more efficiently and players keep track of stats and events. Ten Speed is also releasing a D&D coloring book, Dragons of the Realms, themed around the large scaly creatures that share half the trademarked title.
As for the publisher’s plans for 2026, they’re already knitting something up. These four books will be followed by Dungeons & Dragons Crochet: A Book of Many Patterns in March, which will give detailed instructions on how to put together DIY projects like the Owlbear Cub plushie, the Gloves of Missile Snaring, a literal but non-functional-in-the-traditional-sense Bag of Holding, and a larger-than-life D20 pillow. It’s being written by Stacy King, co-author of the Young Adventurers’ series, with crochet patterns by: Sharon Posey, Alysia Sly, Rebecca Stone, and Lydia Viatoris. It’s due out March 31, 2026.
Check out more detailed descriptions of the four fall D&D books below, with links to preorder pages.
