D&D (2024) Free Rules Updated with DMG content.

[Alby87]

I can confirm the free portion of the DMG was much more. I was saying that finally the free rules were "enough to start" for a beginner, trying to let people in to buy the magic items, greyhawk and stuff, and trying to sell options for the players, if DM are "created" via free resources. WotC will be WotC

Well, trimming what was there yesterday to what's there now is a sad (but unsurprising) turn of events.

Oh, wow. Now I know what you are talking about. I refreshed the Free Rules page, and poof, the DMs stuff vanished.

For example, the Free Rules had great descriptions of the planes of the multiverse. I am glad I got a chance to read them carefully.

Did anyone notice anything missing from the Players Handbook section of the Free Rules?

What exactly is missing? As far as I can tell, they've just moved the DMG content to its own section below the PHB content.

EDIT: Oh, I see, things like the Lore Glossary have been removed. That makes sense, since that's full of WotC's IP.

Right now the DMs Guide section has:
The Basics
Combat
DMs Toolbox (only Poison and Traps)
Magic Items

Earlier it also had full info about:
Cosmology
Creating Campaigns
Creating Adventures
All the items in the DMs Toolbox (if I recall correctly) (I didnt read this section)

and more.

It was pretty much everything except Bastions, Greyhawk, and maybe some other items.

I guess there was a mix-up in terms of what stuff was supposed to be added to the Free Rules and someone added more than they were supposed to.

I am glad I liked the stuff I did get chance to read. I will purchase the book when I get a chance.

Figures that what I was one of WotC smarter and more generous moves in a while was someone pushing the wrong dang button.
