Sure, some of the content was taken from DDI articles, but most of it is completely new.While the DMG contained a lot of useful DM advice, it didn't include a lot I didn't know or do already after 25 years of DMing. This is a bit different with the DMG2. The advanced DM techniques are really more 'advanced' than the previous material in the DMG and while most of it may not be new to someone who's looked into lots of different DMing techniques will definitely be new to the 'typical' D&D DM.It also gave me the impression of embracing and supporting a wider variety of playstyles than the first DMG.Finally, it updates, improves and tries to fix problem areas of the previous DMG. It's still a book you'll probably never use during a session, but you'll definitely be using and referencing it during preparations for sessions.To sum it up: If you didn't like the first DMG, chances are you won't like this one either. If you thought the first DMG was good, this one is even better. I can only recommend it.</blockquote>
