D&D (2024) Table of Contents for Dungeon Masters Guide Leaked

The new Dungeon Master's Guide has been sold at the MCM Comic Con in London UK this weekend, according to Reddit users Mr_Murdoc and Dusuno, and some material has been shared, including the Table of Contents. The book was officially on sale there, with D&D Beyond saying that "MCM Comic Con London attendees will be the first in the world to have an opportunity to purchase a physical copy of the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide!" 900 copies of the DMG were available for purchase at the convention.

I wonder if WotC considered it? They know how many are out there.

I'm sure they did. However, I also suspect they juat plan to put that stuff out elsewhere: like maybe the Forgotten Realms Adventure Guide will have a bunch if Dungeon building material keyed into Realms stuff, or a new Everything book with new PC material and procedural generation and variant rules for DMs...lots of possibilities.

Sorry. Posting teo threads at once. It's in this OP:

D&D (2024) - Another new interview with Perkins & Wyatt about the 2024 DMG

Seems to be mostly reiterating things that have been said in previous recent interviews. Perkins does mention that according to their feedback over half of current D&D players have never played any of the editions besides 5E.

Sarcasm isn't exactly conducive to healthy discussion. New shiny right after sonething comes out is a thing, and the PH was always going to be the best seller anyway.

I'm not even making any predictions. Just stating my subjective feelings and asking questions.

The evidence is clear. And it's not that the book is merely new and shiny, because there have been dozens of new shiny books.
This PHB is outselling many of those in total, already. It is possible that it is already in the top 10 of all time (bookscan era).

It’s more than that. Remember 2014 initial sales were so phenomenal that Amazon quite likely ran out of copies to sell, purportedly an estimated years worth, in days. WotC thought something was wrong it was so shocking. They had to delay printing of the DMG to print enough to satisfy demand. And sales just kept being rally good.

These early sales for the 2024 book crushes even that, and continues to crush it.

You're the one who suggested they were going to be the "new classic". IMO, great sales of the first of the three is no evidence of that claim.

Ah. I get your point.

Time will only tell.

I'm more interested in this DMG than I should be because I don't really need a new DMG

 

[darjr]

I know folks who use facing and other rules only available in the 2014 DMG. I imagine lots of others do too. Also years from now I imagine new players, years after they started, discovering that dusty tome of lost knowledge.

so this bit ‘Perkins does mention that according to their feedback over half of current D&D players have never played any of the editions besides 5E.’?

I have no doubt that the majority of 5e players never played a previous version of D&D. That is not at all the same as ‘the majority of 5e players will not switch to / integrate the 2024 core books’ however

Never intended to say otherwise. Sorry if that was unclear.

it is not enough to be proof yet, that will take years, but it certainly is an indicator towards it rather than towards the contrary
