Title: DnD 5th Ed DMG info?
Post by: danskmacabre on August 29, 2014, 01:44:24 AM
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.

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)
