    I’m not saying that you should follow the sparse rules of 5e to the tee. But, who actually reads the DMG? It’s absolutely non-essential for running the game, even though it has some really nifty Infos for the aspiring DM.

      It’s like the PHB. You don’t need to read it cover to cover but there’s a couple of chapters you’ll want to read entirely up front and then it’s just a resource with suggestions on how to adjudicate various scenarios.
