Product Description: Official Dungeon Master's screen for the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons® Roleplaying Game
This four-panel cardstock screen features new full-color artwork and allows Dungeon Masters to keep their campaign notes and die rolls private, without blocking their view of the game table. Easy-to-reference rules and tables appear on the inside panels of the screen; these are designed for the Dungeon Master's eyes only and comply with the rules in the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons core rulebooks.
Blah It has: experience point rewards, damage by level, food drink & lodging, light sources, character advancement, actions in combat, attack modifiers and to break or combust items. It's o.k.
Perfect Time Saver Whats there to say, its got everything you need to keep the game flowing, and if theres a detail that you need to know, its got the page number next to it along with what book you need, brilliant!
Useful It's exactly what you probably know it is. but still its a great product and has some differences from past DM screens. It's a little shorter than past ones (but helps the DM to see the table easier) and a lot wider. There is a wealth of very useful information on it, but i wont go into exactly everything thats on it. There is like one or 2 things on the wizards errata page for this one though, like the DC's by level, the DC's were off by like 5 or something. doesn't really affect the game though unless you go by everything verbatim. I would say it is worth the 10$, also because of the material it's made out of. Its made of pretty thick cardboard and the whole screen is glossy on both sides.
Best DM Screen Ever! I have played D&D for 15 years and this is by far the best DM screen yet. I started with 2e playing Ravenloft and using the DM screens from the boxed sets. Those screens seemed more or less like thick construction paper with some rules on it.
The 4th edition screen is as thick as a piece of cardboard and is not as tall as most of the previous DM screens. All you need is to be able to hide your notes and your dice rolls. This allows you to see your players easier while playing, not having to stand up to see over the screen. There are four partitions, each with very useful rules listed. On the back side is a very cool picture of the Underdark. This picture has a black dragon in the middle back ground, an umber hulk, illithid, and of course some Drow.
I've had the 2e Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms DM screens and I have also had the 3e Ravenloft and D&D screens. This is by far the best. Easily worth the $10.
Better than I expected I haven't DM'd much, but I decided that it was better if my players didn't see my rolls, that way they couldn't figure out my monster's numbers. I didn't really expect much from this but I was pleasently surprised, the material is very hard, like hardcovers, it is pretty low so I can see the table (from the picture o the product it would open vertically, so the height is about the width of a book) and since we always play in a pretty small table so another great thing is that it reserves my space. All in all, much better than I expected, definetly worth the $10.
