That is not going to teach them to stock a dungeon.Still fine with it. I don’t think people learn by the book anymore, they learn by watching the video talking about reading the book.

No, but it will teach them how to run a 21st century D&D game.That is not going to teach them to stock a dungeon.
You mean the brand with the word "Dungeon" in the name?No, but it will teach them how to run a 21st century D&D game.
I can appreciate dungeon crawling as a play style but it’s out of fashion yet still well supported. I don’t think D&D brand specifically needs to do so.
I am not sure that tracks for me. After all, they don't spend much time on the worlds of the multiverse. there's that one chart, and the Lore Glossary is heavy on Greyhawk and the Realms, with a little bit of Dragonlance and Planescape, a mention of Strahd and next to no Eberron. The Planes chapter goes into pretty extensive detail on the outer and inner planes.I think it's because WotC has been pushing the idea of an interconnected multiverse as the "default setting" since 2014, so that there's an excuse for DMs to use elements from different published settings in whatever setting they use for their games. So, they provide detail for the multiverse. Why this much detail, I dunno.
You can argue that, but the designers have made it quite clear they intended the DMG to help new DMs learn to DM.Still fine with it. I don’t think people learn by the book anymore, they learn by watching the video talking about reading the book.
That is an interesting idea. I would actually be pretty excited about an "Adventure Builder's Guidebook" from WotC as a sort of DMG2.Because they are more likely to provide further books in the future that will go over adventuring and adventures and adventure types, and less likely to produce any books about the planes. Thus this was the only place where that planar information was going to be given so they put as much in as they could.
Had there been an expectation they were going to produce a Manual of the Planes in the next year or two, perhaps they wouldn't have made the planar section as large. But they probably aren't, so this was their one opportunity.
