Rather, new DMs would prefer to take one from the MM that fits the purpose and reflavor it, because it's easier for them to do so. Experienced DM can still use the DMG content from 2014 that they feel is more advanced. Personally, I think WotC will include the monster creation rules in the MM like in 3E.Ultimately the new book will be useful for experienced DMs if they want it to be, but if they have preconceived notions about it, then chances are they won't find it useful even after reading it.The new book is not a worldbuilding book, but a guide in how to be a DM and run the game; WotC has been very clear on that. Both Chris Perkins and James Wyatt were very clear the intent of the DMG was not to teach people how to build a campaign setting for publication, but how to run your home games.</blockquote>
