- It is quite clear, some of us have been playing, and Dungeonmastering 5th Edition Material. Others have been rushing to play the Basic RuleSet and enjoy the game as it has evolved, but personally... I just can't wait for the DMGuide to be already out! So here's something that may appeal to your game's convenience or merely your curiosity...
50 things you want to see in The Dungeon Master's Guide.
01. Advise in how to handle Game Preparation Time with Estimates and similar aids to manage gameprep time.
02. Conversion guidelines for monsters from ANY edition of the game to D&D 5th.
03. A picture of Gary Gygax.
04. DarkSun campaign material to start running a little something there. Yeah with Psionic combat modes and magic transparency at least.
05. Sphere of Ultimate Destruction.
...
06. Fear and Horror modules so I can DM Ravenloft.
07. Guidelines for making custom classes/subclasses, races, etc.
08. Mass Combat Rules
I have heard though that my #8 will be there. 
So yay! lol
09. A village that isn't in FR (just for contrast)
10. A DVD with the PDF on it (okay, no chance, but I can want it)
11. A Bag of Holding tucked inside the back cover, with some real magic Items in it
12. A pull-out battlemap that is completely blank, for miniatures players bewildered by TotM
13. A random famely generator nothing binds/bonds a character more to a world then having his famely members live there too.
Random harlot table.
