The upcoming 5e Dungeon Master's Guide promises to offer a plethora of options for customising your D&D game just the way you want it. Here I'm asking which options you need the DMG to provide for your gaming group. If you don't have a group, pick options that fit your desired game style. By...

Even with reports of minimised splat books, 5e still promises to send reams of printed material our way during its lifetime. How much of it will you bring home? For this poll's purpose, the material I'm referring to is rulebooks of all types, campaign settings, and adventures produced by...
