When asked about the changes from the previous ''Dungeon Master's Guide'', Rich Redman said:<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20030704a| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030811195738/http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20030704a| url-status=dead| archive-date=August 11, 2003| title=Product Spotlight: D&D 3.5 |date=July 4, 2003| publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]]| access-date=August 11, 2013| last=Ryan| first=Michael}}</ref>{{Blockquote|I think the most immediate, obvious, and dramatic change is the reorganization. When the 3rd Edition books came out, the adventure game was supposed to teach you about ''D&D'' (including both playing and DMing) and the adventure path modules were supposed to help you learn more about DMing. That meant that the ''DMG'' could be, more or less, a catalogue or encyclopedia of rules information, a reference book for DMs. With the demise of the adventure game (which had stopped printing long before we started on 3.5), we needed to focus the 3.5 books much more on introducing the game to players. That meant reorganizing the ''DMG'' in particular. Several years of published books that referred to pages and chapters in the ''DMG'' meant we could only reorganize so much, but the copies I've seen stayed pretty close to the way I reorganized it.}}
