D&D (2024) Table of Contents for Dungeon Masters Guide Leaked

The new Dungeon Master's Guide has been sold at the MCM Comic Con in London UK this weekend, according to Reddit users Mr_Murdoc and Dusuno, and some material has been shared, including the Table of Contents. The book was officially on sale there, with D&D Beyond saying that "MCM Comic Con London attendees will be the first in the world to have an opportunity to purchase a physical copy of the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide!" 900 copies of the DMG were available for purchase at the convention.

We'll see. They still have to convince all those "5e only" players to throw down $150+ on another set of books for an edition of a game they're already playing.

This is why sales of the 2024 PHB are struggling. No one is interested in the game any more.

agreed, there isn’t any incentive esp. since they need to keep it around for people who bought it already anyway, whether they still offer it for sale or not. Yet they removed Volo from sale when MotM came out despite the same being true then

That definitely felt like a test for this changeover...on the other hand, Volo's and Tome of Foes had a lot of material that had not aged well by 2021, unfortunately: not sure if thebPHB or DMG fall under that issue, but the older MM may.

We'll see where it goes.

I do wonder if the 2014 DMG will be useful going forward. Much like the AD&D 1st edition one can be for some folks. Like an unearthed arcana for DMs.

Sarcasm isn't exactly conducive to healthy discussion. New shiny right after sonething comes out is a thing, and the PH was always going to be the best seller anyway.

I'm not even making any predictions. Just stating my subjective feelings and asking questions.

I wonder if WotC considered it? They know how many are out there.

The 1e book is useful to me (and a fun read!) to this day.

It’s more than that. Remember 2014 initial sales were so phenomenal that Amazon quite likely ran out of copies to sell, purportedly an estimated years worth, in days. WotC thought something was wrong it was so shocking. They had to delay printing of the DMG to print enough to satisfy demand. And sales just kept being rally good.

These early sales for the 2024 book crushes even that, and continues to crush it.
