![]() Then it elaborates on how to create and run a campaign and how to tie it in into the world that has been created (or borrowed).įinally, it covers playing style and its various flavours and how it'll affect how the world and campaign is created/modified/run. pantheons coverage is merely a page, commerce half a page and magic covers only a page) - this is more of a overarching guideline than an-indepth guide. The material given skims over details (e.g. It talks about the overall tone of the world, pantheons, races, scale, mood, organisation, commerce, languages, cultures and magic. Somehow, this is a minor grip but I wish that they will have set the overall tone and style of the drawings.Ĭontent-wise, it covers how to create a world in D&D context. There are an assorted images of various styles - possibly by different artists. Overall, I will only score this a 3 out of a total of 5.Ī total of 17 pages including graphics. I suppose I expected more coverage on variant rules and options (since D&D 5e was touted as highly modular and scalable) which isn't the case here. Although these content are usable across game systems, there are definitely better guides out there in the market that helps GM/DM to plan/create/run adventures/campaigns/worlds. Nearly two-thirds of the book are fluff or merely reference materials. Pointedly to the DMG, there are simply too much fluff content. No doubt, it's good (after the utter disappointment of 4e) but after the playtesting and build-up (especially to this DMG), the final products don't live up to the expectations and hype. Let me put it upfront - I'm not totally satisfied with D&D 5e. This has been added here for ease of reference after I have completely read and reviewed the entire book. The content of the DMG is divided broadly into 3 parts:įinally, there is an appendix (ranging from A to D) section that covers Random Dungeons, Monster Lists, Maps and Dungeon Master Inspiration.įinally, a useful index section to search for content. Just like the PHB (and I own two of each books), the binding isn't perfect (excessive glue coming out of the pages) and the hardcover gluing isn't evenly done and exist creases. (mouselim) I will have given the overall physical quality of the book a 5/5 rating but alas, the quality control/assurance on this book isn't that great. ![]()
