It also has examples of improvised actions. It also has examples of building a dungeon. Cook/Marsh Expert adds an example of building a wilderness area.Gygax's DMG has examples of building a dungeon and adjudicating a dungeon exploration; of placing treasure; of thinking about other worlds and planes and adjudicating travel between them; and many others.The notion that examples of how to adjudicate action resolution, including what "setbacks" might look like, would be out-of-place in the 5e DMG is just too ridiculous to take seriously.</blockquote>
