JimTrunzo reviewed Dungeon Master's Assistant Volume I in White Wolf #16, rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "To giveDungeon Masters Assistant its due, it is quite complete and does exactly what it claims to do as far as producing encounters that list the number of monsters, their weapons and armor and the types of spells used. It simply doesn't do it in a convenientenough fashion to justify its use."
