    • Best Dungeon Mater Guide Cover Ever!

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. This is the best Dungeon Masters Guide cover ever (the worst ever cover award goes to the first edition Dungeon Masters Guide with a red Efreeti on 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. I like the Hazard section which presents the effects of hazards such as poison gas, webs, and even contact with the river Styx. Seige equipment is a must have section. Chapter 3 also provides information on explosives and firearms which I love. There is also a great names table for your to roll for a NPCs first and last name. Very useful. 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 Strongholds (Bastions) and their creation for player characters. Appendix A has a lore glossary which is great for 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. What would veteran Dungeon Masters like myself find useful? Useful things are the Urban and Wilderness Chase tables, Weather Table, Terrain and Encounter distance table. There is a section for creating magic items and spells that is very helpful. I also like the Sample Fear and Mental Stress Effects section. And again, I like the table on page 73 for Firearms, Futuristic Items, and Explosives which are great for encounters on another world. Page 93 has many tables on settlements to give population, defining traits, tavern names, and random shops. This is very useful, even you won’t know what the settlement will be like in a final version which is part of the fun. A negative part of the book is the drawing of “super cute” characters on some of the handouts. This really ruins the handouts to the point that I would not use them. If they had to do this, it would be nice to have one version with a cute character drawn on it, and another with realistic characters such as a dwarf or a dragon. Initiative is covered in this book. Really to add excitement and the chaos of the unknown, I have my players reroll initiative every round (as a group)! This way no one then know what to expect, even the Dungeon Master. 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. Thank you Chris Perkins for all your dedication. ... show more

    • To be used for years to come
Edition: 2024 Edition
Amazing artwork! Great writing and good explanations overall. The packaging and handling were not great, but maybe that's the fault of my country's customs inspection on the package. Bought these for my nephew, who will likely be playing D&D for many years to come. So despite the high price, it's an expense that will dilute over time. ... 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

    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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
