  • Best Dungeon Mater Guide Cover Ever!
Edition: 2024 Edition
I am very happy with this 5th edition much needed Dungeon Masters Guide Upgrade. I am totally in love with the cover showing Venger and Warduke from the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon show from the 1980s. The cover is glossy like I like it. Also great is the book is thick and heavy. It has quality paper and construction. Chapter one is the basics. It is very helpful for beginners in training to be a Dungeon Master. This tells you what you need to know, and answer your questions. Chapter 2 is actually running the game. This includes combat and exploration. Chapter 3 is a DMs toolbox for creating monsters , spells, magic items, and other things. Seige equipment is a must have section. Chapter 3 also provides information on explosives and firearms which I love. Chapter 4 is creating an adventure. Chapter 5 is creating a campaign with the inclusion of an overview of the world of Greyhawk which was created by Gary Gyax. It was the first complete world for D and D ( more fully developed in release over the Blackmore Campaign world created by Dave Arnenson). In the back of the book is a quality map of Greyhawk which is a very nice touch. Thank you Wizards of the Coast. Chapter 7 is on treasure items. Chapter 8 includes Bastions and their creation for player characters. Appendix A has a lore glossary which is great flor looking up names of individuals and places to know what they are. This is a must have. Very nice is Appendix B displaying various maps for you to use. This is an A plus Dungeon Masters Guide in giving beautiful artwork. But most of all, it provides all the useful tables to run your games in one book. This book reminds me of the first edition Dungeon Masters Guide by having soooo many useful tables and tips. This edition guide gives clarity and organization that is easy to understand. No stats in here for Venger or Warduke, guess we have to wait. Having a physical book in your hands is like nothing else. ... show more

  • I like it 😀
Edition: 2024 Edition
It's pretty well put together IMHO. In many ways it's been well revised from the 2014 ed: and there is an interesting approach to character making, spell updates etc. The Bastions info is quite interesting and some of the added appendix -like additions are useful. Heck I can hardly forget to mention the inclusion of the Greyhawk campaign world and map right in the DMG. As Yoda would say; Satisfied I am, worthwhile it is 😀 ... show more

  • Are you a new DM?
Edition: 2024 Edition
This is an absolute MUST HAVE if you are a new Dungeon Master or Player. The value is good for what you get. Lot's of good info, all very well organized. If you are a veteran player or DM there is nothing earth-shattering in here. You don't really need the book. It sure is pretty, though.

  • Beautiful and useful book
Edition: 2024 Edition
As a new D&D player, I wanted to invest in the right tools for my latest hobby, so I got this book as well as the player's guide, and ordered the monsters manual that is not due for release until February, 2025. The books have sturdy covers that protect all of the beautiful art and exhaustive information within. I feel that the game should be around for as long as it has already since that are no limits to imagination. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • A vast instructional improvement

What I expected but more. Better organized. I'm not really a 5e guy but I do like this one. Best DMG to date.

  • Helpful
Edition: 2024 Edition
Compared to 2014 this is a very user friendly book for new DMs. Older Gms can also find it helpful. The book has notes for how to run a session, several examples of settings, greyhawk, how to run and use Bastions, and many other useful things for a beginner. Is it perfect No but you can fill in the gaps. Artwork is very good, the book itself has good binding, and will look good on collectors shelves. Remember not everything in the book is law… do what you will (homebrew) it’s not the end all be all. ... show more

  • Conveniently Remade
Edition: 2024 Edition
The book holds a lot of valuable information for beginner dungeon masters. Much of what was previously touched upon in the previous edition has been better worded and structurally improved. Now that isn't to say it's a perfect step forward, it lacks some credible information that revolves around subjects such as world building and a few other niche subjects but contrary to that. It's a worthwhile purchase and a surprising step in the right direction for dnd. ... show more
