- Great
I love the 4th ed. all I can say is that flows smooth when played, is fast and easy to develop and understand (even for my 6 year old son) forget the hundreds of tables and modifiers of 3.5, D&D4 is far better than that edition.
Rating: - Great for beginners, a bit of a retread for seasoned DMs
This is NOT a review of 4th Edition D&D Rules.
The new Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) is a very useful reference for new and seasoned DMs alike. Similar to the 3.5 DMG, the 4E DMG is mostly devoted to teaching GMs the black art of creating the adventure and running a game.

The book's most easily stated purpose can be found in the title of the first chapter: How To Be A DM. This ... Read More
Rating: - useful but lackluster
This DMG is a decent read and somewhat interesting. I have allot respect for James Wyatt however find this edition to be pretty much a snore. It has a lot of good points to consider when running a 4.0 game, however its more of a book of systems to keep a game on track rather than a cool guide for bringing your world to life.

The book provided the guidance I needed without getting in my way.No assumptions were made about my DMing style, or the style and motivations of my players.Instead, the authors recognized D&D as a flexible game played by very diverse people, and provided ... Read More

- D &D is DEAD
I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since the first boxed set and I have looked forward to each new version and this is no exception. Each new version has tried to improve on the core Dungeon and Dragon experience until now.This new version is not really a new version but an entirely new game with very little of the flavor or magic feeling of the original. Now it feels more like a version of WOW or another of the online games. I am not knocking the online games they can be great if that is what you ... Read More
