Winner (Gold): Best Electronic Book: Dungeons & Dragons (Basic Rules) Winner (Gold): Free Product: Dungeons & Dragons (Basic Rules) Winner (Gold): Fan's Choice for Best Publisher: Wizards of the Coast Dungeon Master's Guide Errata Magic Item Rarity Index Let's face it. Books dungeons & dragons are expensive. Dungeon Master's Guide is no exception. You might wonder if you can run the games without the DM guide. So, do you need a Dungeon Master's Guide? Yes. Almost every DM will need a Dungeon Master's Guide. The DM guide contains essential tips and rules for running an adventure or campaign. But it also gives Dungeon Masters many tables needed to run the game. You need a Dungeon Master's Guide to run your game sessions. Of course, you don't always have to use the Dungeon Master guide. How often you need the DM guide really depends on your game. Here are personal tips for using the Dungeon Master's Guide effectively. Learning How to Dungeon Master Before planning a large-scale campaign where the universe is at stake, you must first understand the basics. This is where the biggest weapon comes into play: The Dungeon Master's Guide.The DMG provides tips, tricks, and tools to help Dungeon Master with a game. Whether it's a serious ongoing campaign or a goofy one-shot, DMG is designed to be easy to read for any DM's – be it experience or learning. But I have so much to learn. Where do I start? What parts of the DM guide should you read first? Start with the introduction (p. 4- 6). He briefly explains everything in the Dungeon Master's Guide; whether or not we make DM actually means how to use the book as well. While the DM Guide is an excellent learning tool and resource book. Chapters it can be a little confusing. For example, the first two chapters (p. 9-68) are with the Gods and But they also cover details like dialect. This is not the first thing you need to know if you are a beginner with DM or are just learning 5th edition D& D. Instead - after reading the introduction - I would like to jump (p.25 - 38), which includes creating a campaign, game style, levels of the game, and taste of fantasy. Next, I would like to jump to chapter three: Creating adventures and just continue from there. You can always go back to the parts you missed later. No matter your game style, most Dungeon Masters also need to read the third part of DMG (Chapter 8, p. 235). It discusses the different rules of the game. And dealing with the experience points (p. 260) is something you want a company to handle before the first session. Do you need to build the world? DMG's got me covered! Now that you understand the basics of the 5e edition of Dungeon Mastering, let's focus on building the world. The Dungeon Master's Guide can help with 42's – what's the deeper meaning of your character's life, universe, and everything in between? Especially useful in the Homebrew worlds, one-third of the Dungeon Master's Guide is dedicated to helping build the game world. It provides great examples of how to make the world even more immersive for you and your players. Now is the time to read the parts you missed earlier. Building things like societies and religions skills all DMs need, and dungeon master's guide provides them and more! DMG raises questions that you can forget or ignore when building a game world and highlights the idea of adding depth to your game, whether it's the story of a tainted pantheon (from 10th place) or a city running through Magocracy (page 15). Although these resources are great, the DM guide doesn't teach you how to improvise. It doesn't even teach you how to weave elements into a story. That's why we created Dungeon Master Class here at DungeonVault. This is a free 5 lesson email course that will teach you how to play D&t; D without prepwork. Perfect for both beginners and veterans. Scroll to the bottom of the page to sign up! You need the DMG while playingResess the DM Guide to learn how to DM and prepare the games. But what about using the book during game sessions? Even though the DM screen probably contains some useful basic rules, it's always helpful to have the Dungeon Master's Guide on hand during game sessions – you never know when players will choose to swan dive down into a giant and a crocodile esophagus! And they'll be waiting for you to decide. Wearing three hundred and twenty pages of content, it would be difficult for any Dungeon Master not to have a DMG at some point. While the DM Guide provides super-useful tables and hints for in-game use, they are irregularly spread throughout the book. Below is a table of my personal note-worthy page numbers and and rating (We've rated them as to how applicable the average campaign can be and will change depending on your personal game). Wuxia weapons Bored with the saying: Enemy X, wielding spear? A useful table of alternative weapons to add more flavor to the game! Especially effective if you have a monk in the party and want unique monasteries. Page number 41.More WeaponsThree campaigns are not quite so in the Middle Ages? Here are some different weapons brought on by technological advancements. Page number 267.Plane SimpleSummaries on the inner planes and their contents. It's always useful to get on the fly. Page Number: 43.Outer Plane ListOuter Planes. There's a lot of them. If you don't remember or forget the details of the big wheel cosmology, you can easily scroll through them during your session. Page number 58.XP Charter is a must-have for most campaigns. It's less useful when you're working with milestones. Still, most DMs will use this for every game session. Page number 82.Build-A-NPCIt is a great tool if players want to approach a generic NPC instead of the intricately designed, plot important characters spent three days making. I love how simple it is. Page number 90.WeatherIt's something that DMs can easily forget, and yet, there's always some weather. And it will affect things like mood, visibility, your choice of clothes, and so on. It's good to get into the habit of describing the weather once or twice in each game session. Page number 110.Underwater RulesLarge if players want to swim krakens! And they will, the gods are helping us. Page number 115.Vehicles Players get tired of traveling on foot, especially on higher levels - they will find a ride soon! There are so many untapped opportunities to find the perfect journey. Page number 119.TravelA players have to move better? A great tool for remembering how fast. Page number 242.Under SiegeIt is not every day you get DM siege, some good siege elements to add more flavor and action to the world. Page Number 255.It's A Trap! Traps are fun. Well, not for the players. It helps build fun death traps when players like to snoop around in places that haven't been fully designed yet! The rules can be so simple to build most traps on the fly, which makes this a great in-game resource. Page number 121.Magical Accidents Do you have some naughty magic sheens? here are some good effects! Personally, I like to combine these with traps. Page number 140.Treasure TablesEveryone loves some shinies! It helps to get certain rewards for players, without much foresight. For most DMs this is the number one reason to purchase the Dungeon Master Guide. And not for no reason. There are so many great delicacies here, next to the shining. Page number 137.Magic items descriptionsLarge in manufacturing players feel stronger. Lots of pre-made items, so you don't have to design them yourself. Page number 150.Other rewards for gemstones and gold aging? These sites provide some inspiration to keep your rewards fresh. Page number 227.Poisons & DiseasesDo you want to give characters a slow and painful death? Here are some pages on how to do that only. Page Number 257.Lingering DamageDo you want more drama to make fights? Maybe an unexpected Natural 20 has been rolled and someone needs a serious injury? What you're looking for can be a lingering pity.

Page | 2 Maps of the Ardeep Page | 3 The History of the Kingdom of Ardeep A Brief Overview At various points in history, the Realm of the Deepening Moon was a vassal of the Elven empires of Aryvandaar, Shantel Othreier, and Illefarn. Circa –1,100 DR, Illefarn fragmented into three realms: Ardeep, Iliyanbruen, and Rilithar. At its height, Ardeep encompassed the lands between the Sword Mountains and the lower Delimbyr Vale. The rulers of Ardeep were known as laranlors (masculine) and laranlas (feminine), Elven terms meaning regal lord and regal lady, respectively, and used to denote the king or queen of an Elven vassal realm or minor kingdom. Laranla Fildaerae “the Night Flame” died in the Year of Ashen Faces (–395 DR) and was succeeded by her grandniece, Imdalace. When Laranla Imdalace disappeared in the Year of the Slaked Blade (4 DR), rulership of Ardeep passed to her kinswoman Embrae Aloevan.
