Useful but no badly required

3rd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide is a book that every DM is supposed to buy. Actually, an experienced DM can easily get by without it.

One thing that has been greatly improved over the previous edition is that it actually has chapters to teach new DMs. This is a big plus.

Otherwise, you can also find some pretty strange tables: dungeon encounters by level, dragon generation etc. I found them disturbing, but YMMV.

WOW! Fabulous

This, whilst not being all I thought it was going to be, was brilliant. What I found was a bit dishapointing is the constant referal to look things up in the Players Handbook, but the Tables for choosings what traps or what the NPC'S chould do are just amazing and worth the book itself. Also the detailed information such as door's HP, although even in the DMG 1st ED are brilliant, also the incorparation of alot more of variety in the equipment in the Appendix, though again some descriptions are only found in the Players Handbook.

Just what I've been looking for!!

this is incredibly useful and easy to read. the systems inside are easy for first time gamer's(such as me)to under stand and allow a more complex and imaginitive view of the game than what is given in the player's manual. The priestege class's are brilliant giving more and more complexity to my characters (my shadowdancer for example) and the characters of the other playersm, this book is class!!

Don't bother

I have to say this was a real disappointment.

Perhaps two stars is a little harsh, but after the excellent Players Handbook this came back to earth with a bump. There's nothing in here worth buying the book for and the artwork is limp. Maybe, if you've never DM'ed before and you don't already have the 2nd edition DMG (which is better) it might be worth considering if you've got money to waste.

Good value, great update to the old game

The 3rd ed DMG is well worth getting... The only major lacks over 1st ed are: no monster stats index, and no harlot encounter table...
