The second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide was released in 1989.[1] This 192-page hardcover book was designed by David "Zeb" Cook, with cover art by Jeff Easley.[2] The book featured interior illustrations by Easley, Clyde Caldwell, John and Laura Lakey, David Dorman, Douglas Chaffee, and Jean E. Martin.

This Dungeon Master's Guide featured revised second edition rules for the Dungeon Master, totally reorganized and streamlined.[2] The book detailed options for character creation, handling alignment, new money and equipment rules, treasure and magical items, encounters, time and movement, and handling non-player characters.[2] The book is indexed, and contains many full-page color illustrations.[2]

The second edition Dungeon Master's Guide is an ORIGINS and Gamer's Choice award-winner.[2] In his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, Lawrence Schick commented that this book contained "lots of excellent new advice on how to run AD&D".[2] A new version of the Dungeon Master's Guide, with new art and layout but the same text, was released in 1995, as part of TSR's 25th anniversary.[1]
