Review- Dungeon Master's Guide

Dungeon Master's Guide by Mike Mearls

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Dungeon Master's Guide serves as both a game book, setting out various mechanics, spells, and items for D&D, and also a manual for running the game, and is successful in both areas. As a game book, I found it better written than other D&D guides, with clearer, more concise prose. As a guide for running the game, the Dungeon Master's guide offered similar advice to that one would find in many general writing guides, and also some sections on how to practically play the game, including (for example), the extent to which dice roles should be used, and how to manage the role playing aspects of the game.

This was a welcome addition to the series of books aimed to introduce players to the game.
