2024 Dungeon Master's Guide | Everything You Need to Know | D&D

50th anniv. of D&D and big discussion about Greyhawk, but no mention that it was Gary Gygax's home campaign and the those big names were actually his players.

Greyhawk is Gary's not yours 🖕🤡🌎

Booo.....
Boo
🖕WOTC

I miss DCA. I want more Perkins running adventures in long form video.

I can't see how the greyhawk setting cooperates with the species in the PHB.

Those tracking sheets need to be plain and printer-friendly!

I feel like these people like teasing fans, with useless stuff. I don't care about the new potion arts. I don't care about new campaign settings, or freaking bastions for God's sake. I care about rule updates. I care about epic levels setting. I care about deity and spells (that are possibly not broken, such as the updated "sleep" spell).

I play D&D 5e currently. Not sure yet I want to switch to the new rules. I will look at the free basic rules first. Although the mini-adventures in the new DMG sound interesting. Will there be a new Starter Set for 2024 rules?

I do like the sample campaign setting is Greyhawk. I could use that to run classic adventures converted to 5e like Yawning Portal, Saltmarsh and Infinite Staircase quests.

I enjoy RP as both player and DM. As DM, I struggle with detail and combat encounter options, so I'm excited for this book.

'Variety is richness'. I can't wait to get my hands on the new DMG.

Bring back à la cart to the marketplace

There are so many exciting, genuinely new, features in this book...but then you outright lie and mislead saying things like Treasure bars are 'new to this book.' They're not, they were in 5th edition DMG, along with several other items you're claiming are new in order to drive up hype.

Be better, be more honest, and be transparent. You're company has enough issues with dishonesty as it is.

So once again, it's just another overpriced book whose content is just shuffled around and tweaked again. Hopefully it's as hilarious as the previous version.

I am ridiculously excited for this. Every single bone in my nerd body is delighted that I’ve preordered it!

It sounds like it will be the best d&d dmg ever written.

I am not a fan of the company that runs the game nowadays, but by God, can I still feel the love and care of the people working within it.

What do you call a player character base next to the ocean? A Sea-Bastion.

So much confusion: hook and goal, campaign and setting, ttrpg and solo game, character and player, villain and DM,...

Did they do anything to help the monsters like raising their AC so they are not just punching bags?

The order of how chapters are arranged now sounds like exactly what I wanted to see. Especially pushing the setting and multiverse back a bit - front-loading that in 2014 I felt was not the best choice, as a new DM might be left feeling they had to build some expansive world before they learned all the nitty-gritty of DMing. Starting with the DM's duties and then giving no-strings-attached sample adventures will ease people into the role better and might lead to less rigid DMing and more confidence in general. Glad to see Greyhawk back too and as someone who also watched the cartoon in my formative years (and also the owner of the miniatures featuring much of the cast), I'm excited to see the references to the series too (loved the art in the 2024 PHB with the gang).

I started D&D in 1977 with 1st ed. I have bought every core book (and a lot of supporting books) from 1st ed to PHB 2024. Editions have at times gone sideways and backwards and also have improved over time. I'm just started reading 24's PHB and until tested; I can't give an opinion. Looking forward to seeing the DM manual and running a campaign.

Love the bastions

Now that WoTC has decided to not have Forgotten Realms as core setting, I wonder what that means for Ed Greenwood? 😟

Hope they stick the landing on magic item costs. As is the 2014 rules sucked for this

"We don't expect new DM's to jump right into campaign creation." Me: "... I was supposed to wait?"

I'm such a nerd. I am most excited about the tracking sheets! I literally cannot wait to fill out paperwork about my setting and games 😂 The binder grows!!!

here is everything you need to know about the 2024 DMG: You do not need to buy the 2024 DMG

I thought Blackmoor by David Arneson was the first D&D setting. Hmm, I guess that was technically a Chainmail Fantasy setting first, and Gygax's Greyhawk made it into D&D first.

When is the DMG coming out?

I wasnt super impressed by the new PHB but this one seems like it'll be a huge improvement over the 2014 DMG, as a DM I did feel like the original DMG had a lot of macro information (the multiversal cosmology, how to make campaigns etc.) but not a whole bunch on how to run a smaller adventure. This seems to be able to kickstart a DMs path much easier

How do I get the alternate covers?

If they don't rework the CR system, its officially joever

I was hoping for a chapter on optional rules (such as Bastions) to make the game a bit more modular. Maybe chapter 3 will cover it but I feel like if it was there it would be a talking point. No mention on custom backgrounds which I was expecting since they're so uniform now.

Don’t really care for the new PHB but I will probably pick this up.

I have always used this type of thing in the games I run... it's always been a huge success and a total hit in my games, super glad you implemented such a thing in the official content!!! ❤

I forget that Chris Perkins is an eldritch being unaffected by time. I could hear him talking about the dmg all day

For those tracker sheets, they should make some Microsoft Word templates for these so people can fill these out electronically. Nice for people like to work and store things digitally instead of keeping more paper laying around.

Blackmoor would have been a better choice and a more honest choice.

The bastions will work like garrisons in wow, which wasnt good. You dont want a dnd group of 4 players each playing their own solo game.

Yo dawg I heard you liked bastions.

they release the 2024 handbook out early and most groups dont wanna run it yet without the dungeon master's guide. "oh nice a 43 minute video on the changes to the dungeon masters guide this should explain alot!" Literally this video boiled down to we made art, hey remember greyhawk?, and VAGUELY talking about bastions. Nice work guys making a 43 minute video explaining pretty much nothing

Nobody cares. Play Pathfinder 1 or 2

Why can't you bring back 3rd edition build your own weapon/armor/shield section? That was so cool. Add a little section about evolving magic item explaining how I can grab my +1 weapon, bring it to the arcane smith and upgrade it to a flametongue+1 and 3 level later, upgrade it to a +2 flametongue, then if I find a arne smith of higher level then the basic one in town, he'll be able to add dancing to my +2 flametongue weapon etc...

Hey WOTC, STOP DOUBLE CHARGING US FOR DIGITAL CONTENT IF WE BUY PHYSICAL BOOKS. PUT A ONE TIME CODE IN THE BOOK. STOP BEING SO DAMN GREEDY AND ACT LIKE THERE'S A SLIVER OF YOUR SOUL LEFT IN SPITE OF HASBRO BUYING MOST OF IT. WE SHOULD BE YOUR PRIORITY, NOT GREEDY SHAREHOLDERS. Until then I'll continue raising the 🏴‍☠️ and using 3rd party apps. DO BETTER

Honestly, I'm actually getting kinda hyped about this. The 2024 PHB actually lived up to what they talked about, and that's the first time I've felt like that happened since...okay, I don't remember that happening before with a new core book, and I started with 2e. Sounds like they understand why the old DMG was a disappointment and the little clips of the new one look so much better.

I love strongholds and player bases but I hate how it is implemented with bastions as it removes DM fiat. I'll stick to a more hands on approach and use some bastion stuff piecemeal.

Nothing about custom backgrounds. This is going to be a problem, especially for organized play or tables that are RAW.
