This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

OK, so I have the PHB, I've really enjoyed reading it and I've been running a few test sessions.
Overall, I've really enjoyed it.

It's my understanding the DMG is due out towards the end of Sept?

Has anyone got any advance info on it?
A page count?
What's in it?

I expect it'll have similar stuff that other DMGs in previous editions will have, but wondering if there'll be new ideas/content etc?
 
Is there any preview information out yet or is WotC keeping their cards close to their chest?

I've already read the Basic rules DMG, which is interesting, but it's mainly just a sampling of monsters, which is cool, but I'm hungry for more info.

Monster Manual is due out in September. DMG isn't until November.

320 pages.

Conversion material for previous editions.

Hopefully, it will be a cross between 1e and 4e in term of being fun yet actually useful for the DM.

On a related note, anyone know the 'pre-release' release date for the monster manual? I mean the date when you can buy it in select stores.

If the new street date is Sept 16th (based on snapshots from GenCon) then WOTC network stores should have MM's on Sept 5th. If I get to pick up mine on that date I will post it here.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

I noticed last night that there's a reference in PHB that the Death domain will be described in DMG.

(I'm hoping there are even more domains, because the list in the PHB seems a little sparse)
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.
