The third of three core rulebooks for the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons® Roleplaying Game.

The Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game has defined the medieval fantasy genre and the tabletop RPG industry for more than 30 years. In the D&D game, players create characters that band together to explore dungeons, slay monsters, and find treasure. The 4th Edition D&D rules offer the best possible play experience by presenting exciting character options, an elegant and robust rules system, and handy storytelling tools for the Dungeon Master.

The Dungeon Master's Guide gives the Dungeon Master helpful tools to build exciting encounters, adventures, and campaigns for the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, as well as advice for running great game sessions, ready-to-use traps and non-player characters, and more. In addition, it presents a fully detailed town that can serve as a starting point for any D&D game.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4th edition is fun 31 Jan 2009
By C. Grant GT Ltd
Format:Hardcover
I DM a 4th edition D&D session weekly so this is one of the three essential books (the other two are the players handbook and the monster manual). For your first experience just add dice, H1 Keep on the Shadowfell and a few packs of figures (you need something for kobold, goblins and undead as well as the players). Great fun. My only tiny criticism is that the pages feel very thin and might get ripped, but so far I've kept mine undamaged.

5.0 out of 5 stars DMG 4th Edition - Old school mindset in a modern rules system 22 Jun 2008
By R. H. Nicholls
Format:Hardcover
Ive played D&D since 1981 when i first started playing basic at High School. Although the rules are now completely different to anything that has gone before the concepts are still there- races, classes, AC, hit points etc.

What this DMG does better than any is actually tell you how to be a DM. Very little is provided in the way of extra rules something that 3.5 and earlier seemed to do - new book yet more rules to learn ! 4th Edition has gone down the route of helping new DMs get to grips with actually running games and designing adventures - i personally think this book has stuff for both old and new DMs alike.

Thoroughly recommended ever for an old timer like myself who was getting jaded !

5.0 out of 5 stars Best DMG ever 23 May 2009
By R. Mathot
Format:Hardcover
This is a great DMG, especially for new DMs. It requires a good read, because some worthwhile statements are somewhat hidden and not bolded or highlighted. Overall it stimulates creativity in DMs, which I found lacking in all previous editions, in which the DMG was more a book in which the designers warned you not to go too far away from their vision. This DMG empowers the DM!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wait for 5th Edition
Seriously, I love the whole D&D thing, but the rumours in the RPG industry is that WoTC have 're-employed' Monte Cook, who helped write 3rd edition to work on the 5th Edition. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 'Holy Trinity' for 4th Edition D&D
Extremely useful. Could have expanded a little in places (but then they'd not be able to sell the DMG2!)

Essentially you **NEED** this if you are running a game of D&D.
