We have had several editions of the game most of the stuff in the DMG can be found online anyways - why not capitalise and take control of it. And really we need the space.So all of this SHOULD be online (and maintained by WotC)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Learning how to DM, various DM techniques/styles, session 0, players, discussing genre/themes....etc</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tables - random dungeon generation, NPC generation (motives, appearance, names...etc), encounter options, Random encounter tables by terrain, tables upon tables...etc</li> </ul>In the DMG however you provide a summary overview, definitions and links to the sites.Then you can focus on the real important issues and go into more detail<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Options/modular systems for low level/high magic, gritty, horror, pulp, gunpowder, item breakage, substitute magic systems/skill systems...etc</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rewards and Treasures</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Traps, Poisons, Madness, Corruption, Diseases, Injuries,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Exploration and Social Challenges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magical Items</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Combat encounter set-up</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Downtime (DM side) - and there should be Downtime in the PHB as well </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Special location rules - underwater, ethereal, astral, aerial...etc</li> </ul>Finally, I think monster generation should be in the Monster's Manual.EDIT: Good layout and decent index should be standard; I shouldn't even need to mention it.</blockquote>
