Behind every campaign your players still talk about is a Dungeon Master with this book within arm's reach. The Dungeon Master's Guide is the core D&D rulebook for the person running the game — the tools, tricks and tables that turn a rough idea into a living world your table can't wait to get back to.
What's inside
- World-building guidance, from a single dungeon to an entire multiverse
- Tips and tricks for creating memorable dungeons and adventures
- Optional rules to tune the game to suit your table
- Hundreds of classic D&D magic items to seed your treasure hoards
Whether you're prepping your first one-shot or your fifth full campaign, it's the reference you'll reach for between every session — equal parts toolbox and inspiration.
The DM's essential companion. Pair it with the Player's Handbook and Monster Manual to complete the core trio, and browse everything D&D we stock for adventures to run next.
Edition & compatibility: This is the original 2014 fifth edition Dungeon Master's Guide — if you're running the new 2024 rules, you want our separate Dungeon Master's Guide 2024 listing. Used alongside the Player's Handbook and Monster Manual.
