This. Some people will likely find this book very helpful. But they are decidedly not me.Experienced DMs aren't really the primary target, which is fine. I've only started to take a look at it but it has some interesting things, even if some things like bastions don't fit my current campaign direction. Most of the stuff? I've been DMing for a long time so it's just a quick reference book for magic items.
I do think there are improvements, but a lot of things like (spin the wheel to pick a random topic) some of the weapon properties applying to any weapon that makes sense are things I've already been doing.

No. I've read parts of it, and I've read a lot of analysis from reviews with wildly divergent points of view. Do you not believe reviews have value?Have you actually read the book?
I have. There are way better books for experienced DMs (IMO). ToV's Game Masters Guide is fantastic. I swear I'm not a shill for them, it's the best 5e core book I've read since A5E's stuff.Have you actually read the book?
I think its dishonest to make definitive comments on a book one hasn't read... but that's just me.No. I've read parts of it, and I've read a lot of analysis from reviews with wildly divergent points of view. Do you not believe reviews have value?
