[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4102429, member: 14848"] With more of the rules being incorporated into the PHB there is becoming less need for the actual DMG. I wouldn't mind seeing just one book for player/DM and then the Monster Manual. D&D is one of the few games left that still has separate books for the game master and players, but requires the DM to know both books. If they are going to have three books then they should make it so the DM literally doesn't need the PHB, just the DMG and Monster Manuals. All the encounter fluff from the DM, i.e. environment info could be moved to the MM giving more room to put the important PHB info in it. Would be so nice to only need two books to run the game instead of all three. And I know if you really wanted just the first two as you could probably wing something as far as monsters based off what is presented in the DMG. I remember in 1st when it actually had a small monster section in the DMG. [/QUOTE]
