DMG II Announced

[Knight Otu]

Why the cover isn't blue? Easy:

The DMG2 -- with more prestige classes and more magic items -- an essential sourcebook for any D&D player!

Damn, I practice a lot of optical gymnastic today.

Gez, you should consider using the [sarcasm] tags when you do that.

Emrikol, I would quote that if it wasn't so large.
Thanks for the laugh today.

@Emirikol

You forgot:

The Quintessential Dungeon Master
The Slayer's Guide to Dungeon Masters
DMG 2: Electric Boogaloo

As I noted the first time this thread rolled around, too litlle info to make any type of decesion.

 

[Keeper of Secrets]

Player's Guide to the Dungeonmaster? Sweet.

 

[The Hollow Eyes]

If the DMG2 is anything like the AD&D Campaign Sourcebook and Catacomb Guide (as the blurb kinda suggests, somewhat sorta), it couldn't fail to be the best WotC product so far.

Authors:Jesse Decker, David Noonan, Chris Thomasson, James Jacobs, Robin D. Laws

I've really enjoyed Jesse Decker's work, and if memory serves Noonan has some solid FR credits -- this sounds like a good team.

Tell me more. Isn't the MM clear enough?

(Granted... Personally, I use an Excel spreadsheet that auto-calculates this stuff. I only need to change the size and HD and vóila.)

Where did you get the Excel spreadsheet?

Sounds useful, but $10 more and 32 pages less than the DMG? I don't know...

It makes sense that DMGII is more expensive, I think. It's a question of volume. WotC is VERY lucky if this gets 10% of the sales the ordinary DMG has! Every DM (well, almost...) will want to have the DMG, but how many of them will buy the DMGII?
