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.

 Sturdy and useful, grab the errata online August 20, 2008

One thing I didn't realize until I got this screen is how thick it is. I'm used to heavy cardstock screens, but this one is built like the cover to a hardback book. Imagine a landscape (wide) oriented 4-panel screen built like the cover to your Player's Handbook and you're be spot on. It's even glossy.
On the downside, one of the panels is mostly wasted on things like XP charts which I'm unlikely to need in the middle of a game. I'd have preferred to see that panel used perhaps for summaries of area attack types (bursts, blasts, zones, etc.) Additionally, the default DC (Difficulty Class) for tasks in D&D4 has changed since publication, and this change didn't make it to the DM's screen. On the plus side, the errata is a nice printable .PDF you can cut out and paste on your screen. Won't be the first time I've had to do this (looking at my Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen.)
 Best DM Screen ever! August 21, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was surprise when I first opened the packages for this DM screen, it's not just cardstock, it's the back of your players handbook cardstock. They said it would stop a dice being thrown and they were right!
The second benefit of it is all of the tables inside, and while I probably don't need the xp listings in the middle of a game, I do like how they have all of the status effects and standards DC checks all listed in a very easy to follow and find format. And while some people prefer the new DCs the errata has release (which did not make it onto this dm screen), personally I prefer the more difficult checks that were originally published (and are on my screen!).
Lastly the landscape format of the four panel wide screen is amazing, it makes it feel that your still apart of the table without cutting you off from your players. You can still see most of the dice rolls, and the action on the dungeon tiles (if you use them) without having to stand up every time something happens.
Overall, and by FAR, the BEST DM screen I have ever purchased, and for $9 it's a total steal!
That DM guy...
 holy errors batman! September 6, 2008
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
well i bought this and was initally impressed with the physical quality of it....
but then reading it you find the numerous rule errors....
you would think that since it is just 4 pages of rules that they could have gotten it right... WRONG!
the obvious one is the dc chart that they released the errata for...a cute little printout you have to glue or tape on your shiny new screen...
there are 2 more errors...
1... the equip and stowing of a shield is wrong. (is says minor action)
and
2... the section about healing a dying character is wrong. (it says no change if your out of surges)
it would look really krappy if they released 2 more erratas for the screen and you would have stuff taped all over it.
LIKE A QUILT OF UGLY WRONGNESS!
really though whoever wrot the rules on this needs to lose their job. i spend more time on my own homebrew creations that i dont even get paid for...
this almost seems comical how they got so many errors on such a simple product.
but the joke is on you.
Super! August 22, 2008

After buying the dreaded character sheets, I wasn't sure what to expect with this screen. I was so freaking happy when I opened the package. It's probably the best DM screen I've seen. Read the other reviews. It's fantastic.
Grade A for Wizards August 20, 2008
This Dungeon Masters Screen is by far the best DM/GM Screen I have ever seen or used. The Screen folds out landscape style creating a larger hidden area. The information posted on the DM's side is not only useful, but all the information has book and page numbers listed for more detailed information. To top it all off the art work on the players side of the screen is top notch. I recommend this screen to anyone wanting to play, and for only 9.99 its a steal.
