    The Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) provides rules and guidance for the game referee known as the Dungeon Master. It covers topics like magical items, monsters, and other elements important for DMs to know how to run the game. The DMG is one of the three core rulebooks published for every edition of Dungeons & Dragons, along with the Player's Handbook and Monster Manual. While experience is more important than reading guides, the DMG is still useful for DMs to have as a reference for running complicated D&D games.

    The Dungeon Master's Guide, abbreviated as DMG, is the


    text which lays out such rules as the game referee should
    know and the players should accept. As the title suggests,
    DMG comes out of Dungeons and Dragons - specifically,
    1980ish AD&D, to which the sideline caught up, in 1983
    under Mentzer. Some say, and we would agree, that good
    DMing comes from experience more than from reading the
    Idiot's Guide to DMing. But we were all idiots once.

    Among what the DM should know and players shouldn't are


    the vital statistics of magical-items and monsters. TSR
    quickly found that monsters had minds of their own, so split
    them into their own separate tome. Although some monster
    data had to be dealt with, here, too.

    The DMG has become one of the three volumes that TSR >
    Wizards > Hasbro insists on republishing and revising
    every edition, alongside the Players Manual which lays out
    the rules everyone has to agree upon, and that Monster
    Manual. DMing can become quite a complicated task
    without a DMG, so it is advisable to have one in one form
    or another.

    The first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons version was


    bonkers. Gary Gygax wrote it without much editorial
    intervention; it is notable for historical references few of the 11 year old kids whose parents bought the thing for
    them would even know, like Rasputin's 18 Constitution (their parents, pre-Internet, weren't much able to help,
    either). The later editions focus more on being useful utilities for their versions of D&D.

    Generation X grew to love this first edition exactly because Gygax didn't talk down to them, and instead pointed
    them to an extended vocabulary and those historical references. Appendix N was a particular high point. We
    weren't getting any of this shit in our English classes. Bless you Gary for all you have done to inspire us.
