[QUOTE="boredgremlin, post: 2309161, member: 31646"] Dig a little deeper. Almost nothing in the MM2 was original. And the fiend folio was worse. The DMG2 tells you how to DM some games? If you cant tell a story, learn the rules and handle personalities then no book will teach you to do it. Its a money grabber, nothing more. Also i argue whether the DM's primary role as story teller is optional. You can play marrow wind if you want an impartial refferee. Thats not D&D. D&D is stories and roleplaying, being in crazy situations and working your way out. Even the original (so horribly crappy it never got bought at all) wargame that D&D was based on had stories. If all you want is a referee for the RAW then go buy heroquest, dragonstrike, or any of the other board games based on D&D that came out in the mid 90's. Or just play the baldurs gate and icewind dale video games. D&D tells interactive stories. For a cheesy wargame play computer games or warhammer. I love warhammer. If all you like is turn based strategy games with miniatures you would love warhammer too, just dont try to force it onto my D&D. [/QUOTE]
