This is an excellent book. I am reading in detail now, but every page is useful to DMing 4E and most pages are useful for GMing in general. Both DMGs for 4E are well-written and clearly draw on years of DMing experience.

@Yax, what did you write for the book?

I never read DMGs (I have the opposite experience of Wyatt in terms of what’s worth buying), but this might be worth getting.

Great write up! I’ve only read the chapter on skill challenges in depth. From glancing at the table of contents one of the aspects I’m interested in reading more about is companion characters.

I agree that the DMG 2 is much better than it’s predecessor, which for the exception of treasure tables and xp tables, was very much a rehash of older editions.

I have to echo that from what I’ve read, this is a fantastic book!

Also, I’m also all for seeing more DiTerlizzi artwork in D&D.

I was already interested, but reading this has put me over the edge. I just hope I can get it read and digested before my groups’ big boss battle (hopefully) this weekend!

I think for you specifically you’ll get a lot out of the revised monster creation rules. I’ve found the MM2 monsters to be far superior designs, and so making the creation rules match will help those such as yourself who make new critters.

However, you’ll also find a number of things that let you turn other monsters into Demogorgon, so take of that as you will!

Ditto at Wyatt. Also, achievements. I don’t know why, but I love achievements. I totally want those in my game.

Yup, I must buy this book. I wasn't thrilled with the PHB2 because it's just more classes and races basically, and the MM2 is demogorgon and at-will daze and beholders, but I KNEW I would get something awesome out of the DMG2, because a DMG has yet to fail me. .-= Wyatt´s last blog ..Monsters of Eden: Introduction =-.
