Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide (5.0)

Weave fantastic adventures. This revised and expanded Dungeon Master's Guide for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons is the essential companion to the 2024 Player's Handbook and 2025 Monster Manual. Inside, everything a new or experienced Dungeon Master needs to weave epic tales, build fantastical worlds, and inspire memorable moments for their party.

What's inside

• World-building advice — create your own setting or use the pre-built one included
• Pre-built customisable D&D setting — Greyhawk, ready to run or adapt
• Hundreds of magic items with usage guidance and homebrew rules
• Rules for player-controlled strongholds — long-form campaign mechanics
• 15 new ready-to-use, reusable maps for homebrew adventures
• Multiple handouts and tracking sheets for campaign management
• Real-world examples of common DM pitfalls and how to handle them
• Tips for keeping your players happy and on the edge of their seats

Who this is for

• Experienced DMs upgrading from 2014 5e to 2024 rules
