Dungeon Master's Guide contains rules regarding arbitration and administration of the game, and is intended for use mainly or only by the master of the dungeon game. The original Dungeon Master's Guide was published in 1979 and gave Dungeon Masters everything it needed to launch a gaming campaign. It is intended as a companion to the Player's Handbook, which contains all the basic rules of gameplay, and a guide to monsters, which is a reference book, giving statistics and characteristics to various animals and monsters. The Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and monster Guide are collectively referred to as the basic rules of Dungeons and Dragons. The Dungeon Master's Guide and The Player's Handbook give tips, tips and suggestions on different styles of play. While all players, including the Dungeon Masters, must have a copy of the Player's Handbook, only the Dungeon Master is expected to refer to the Dungeon Master Guide or Monster Guide during the gameplay. Extended Dungeons and Dragons Original Guide ad'D Dungeon Masters (sic) was written by Gary Gigax and published by TSR in 1979 as a 232-page hardcover with the cover of David C. Sutherland III.

The original edition was written by Gary Gigax and edited by Mike Carr, who also wrote the foreword. The original cover was provided by David C. Sutherland III, and the illustrations were provided by Sutherland, D.A. Trumpier, Darlene Pekul, Will McLean, David S. LaFor and Erol Otus. The first edition of dungeon Masters Guide covered all the basic rules for the Dungeon Master: creating and maintaining player characters and managing incredible characters, handling combat, and launching adventures and multi-stage campaigns. The book also included descriptions of magical items and treasures, random encounters with monsters and statistics of the game's main monsters and creatures. New magical items were introduced, including the Kvalis Apparatus. Dungeon Masters Guide contains many tables and diagrams to figure out damage and resolve encounters in a typical adventure, tables and rules for creating characters, and lists of different abilities of different character classes. One of the additions to the manual was Dungeon Masters Screen: two heavy three- fold boards with the most commonly used tables printed on them for easy reference. The second edition of the 1979 screen describes its purpose as useful for protecting maps and other game materials from players when placed upright, and provides an instant link to the diagrams and tables most commonly used during the game. Extended Dungeons and Dragons Second Edition screen came packed with brief adventure; later editions of this screen and screens produced for later editions instead included sheets of symbols and general reference booklets. A feature of the first edition of Dungeon Masters Guide was a random dungeon generator. The generator allowed the Dungeon Master, rolling the dice, to create a dungeon adventure on the fly. The dungeon complete with aisles, rooms, treasures, monsters and other encounters can be easily and accidentally built as the player progresses. It can be used with multiple people or one player. The generator was not included in subsequent editions of Dungeon Master's Guide, but made a re-appearance in the fifth edition of Dungeon Master's Guide. The original Dungeon Masters guide was reviewed by Don Turnbull in the White Dwarf magazine #16 (December 1979/January 1980). Turnbull commented on the main size of the book: I would say that only the harshest critic can point to a slight omission, let alone serious.

Asked about the changes from Dungeon Master's previous guide, Rich Redman said: I think the most immediate, obvious and dramatic change is the reorganization. When the 3rd edition of the book came out, the adventure game was supposed to teach you about DZO (including how to play and DMing) and the adventure path modules were supposed to help you learn more about DMing. This means that DMG may be, more or less, a directory or encyclopedia of information about the rules for DMs. C C the demise of the adventure game (which stopped printing long before we started at 3.5), we had to focus 3.5 books much more on introducing the game to the players. This means, in particular, the reorganization of DMG. Several years of published books that referenced pages and chapters in DMG meant that we could only reorganize so many, but the copies I saw stayed pretty close to how I reorganized it.
