Dungeon Master's Guide II by David Noonan, Chris Thomasson, Robin D. Laws, Jesse Decker, James Jacobs

5.0

The basic DMG has a lot of good info on rules, tables for rolling random stats or NPCs or items or anything like that, it's very useful. But this? This is the book you really want to come to for help DMing. It veers away from being a rules dump and focuses on actual advice, analyzing possible player scenarios, suggesting ways to overcome challenges, helping build towns from the ground up. This is what I actually needed.
