Value of DM's Guide for running pre-made adventures

[Zacchaeus]

Strongly disagree. All adventures deserve to have their magical items somewhat tailored to things that the players will enjoy having

Indeed. No point in giving out a +1 spear if no-one can use it. Of course you don't need the DMG to change that to a +1 Shortsword

True, but maybe you want to give them that cloak of useful items or a special type of magic item. Maybe your characters go off the rails.
It is not really about necessity because really we don't need much when it comes to an rpg. It is all about conveniences in this case

That's the best time to give out a +1 spear!

Don't forget, the FG DMG also includes the item forge...

The item forge is available in the base 5E ruleset (click the link at the top of the campaign items window) and there are a bunch of "Magic Item Templates" in the "DD5E SRD Magic Items" module to use in the forge.

Ah, but atleast it was released when the DMG was released right? But thanks for correcting me (again!)
