Dungeon Master's Guide II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dungeon Master's Guide II is a book of rules for the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition seminal fantasy role-playing game. 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).
This is the first Dungeon Master's Guide II to be published; however, it was followed by the Player's Handbook II.

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

- 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
