I'm still going to reserve judgment about quality for now. But in terms of concept, this is moving in the right direction for a DMG: actually USEFUL TOOLS for DMs to be using, at the table, on the regular, to make it as easy as possible for DMs to do their basic DMing tasks.Because that's how you empower DMs. You empower them to explore new ideas, because they aren't spending (IMNSHO, wasting) tons of time hemming and hawing over stuff, they're just using the effective tools given and moving on. You empower them to solve commonly-faced problems, so that common issues faced by DMs of yesteryear are genuinely not an issue 99.9% of the time. You empower them to show discernment and care, by giving them genuinely productive advice and guiding them toward tested, successful patterns of thinking and responding.If they have written this stuff well--and that's an "if" written in sixteen-foot strobing neon letters--then I will happily eat crow on this one.</blockquote>
