[edit] Contents

Like the Dungeon Master's Guide it is focused on providing Dungeon Masters with assistance in running the game. It contains a number of chapters providing advice on the more difficult aspects of running a game as well as complex pregenerated characters (often using Prestige Classes).

[edit] Player types

The DM Guide II introduces Dungeon Masters to various types of people who enjoy the D&D game, and it explains what exactly they enjoy.

Examples include:

Brilliant planner- A leader-type who is happiest when planning for the night's adventure
Cool guy- Player who likes to get cool powers and cool weapons
Lurker- Someone who is happiest when left to their own devices
Outlier- An oddball player who likes to see their character lose, seeing it as a victory more than a defeat
Psychodramatist- A player who likes exploring the background of his/her character, and would love to have a session centered around their character

[edit] Publication history

This book was written by Jesse Decker, David Noonan, Christ Thomasson, James Jacobs, and Robin D. Laws, and was published in June 2005.
