So, your argument appears to be that the core books should cater to returning gamers and new gamers should be forced to go elsewhere to learn the basics.When looking at the definition of guide, it is abundantly obvious which definition applies to a written book.Yeah you can. You provide all the tools an experienced DM needs to generate NPCs, towns, items, random encounters, etc... then you provide EXAMPLES for the inexperienced DMs so that they can see it in action. Simple. Easy. Useful for DMs of both flavors.It seems you'd rather see WotC drive away potential new gamers and DMs by catering the bare minimum game towards those with previous experience, instead of gearing it towards teaching the game to people.</blockquote>
