Gwendolyn Kestrel explains the inspiration for the book's material: "Dragons are a rich part of the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' game history. There's plenty of material in the game system to serve as inspiration. Of course, we wanted to go beyond what we had done before. While familiar with both ''Savage Species'' and ''Unearthed Arcana'', I didn't directly go to these books for inspiration for ''Race of the Dragon''."
