Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screen (Dungeon & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Accessory) [Misc. Supplies]

Wizards Team (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2004

A Dungeon Master 2-pack that includes both a new D&D screen and a bonus d20 Modern screen -- in landscape format with new art.

Useful to anyone running any type of roleplaying campaign, this Deluxe Dungeon Master Screens 2-pack contains both a Dungeons & Dragons screen and a bonus screen for the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game.

The tables on the back of the Dungeon Master's Screen have been revised and updated to comply with the changes made in the new version 3.5 core rulebooks released in 2003.

Every table includes a page number reference you can use to look up more detailed information. You’ll also find some tables modified specifically for this screen that will help you get the information you need as quickly as possible during play.

Also included is a bonus four-panel screen geared toward the action-packed world of your d20 Modern campaign. Because both screens fully support the d20 System, they can be used separately or together by an experienced Dungeon Master or Gamemaster.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Deluxe about it, February 10, 2004

This is the worst layout for a DM screen ever, in my opinion. They set it up sideways, so the screen is shorter in height and longer in width. It's 2 full 8.5" x 10.75" sheets, plus 2 8.5" x 8.25" sheets, one on each end. So, total size is about 38" wide and 8.5" high, with 3 folds. It has some different tables than you will find on the free screen that came with Dragon Magazine when 3.5 was released, but it's also missing info found on that screen. I was hoping for a 5 or 6 panel screen to really wrap around. I usually have 8.5" x 11" sheets I clip to the screen for adventure specific reference, but with this screen I cannot do that easily either. They included a D20 Modern screen setup the same way, which I have even less use for. Save your $ and make your own.

I was like, yeah, 'Deluxe Dungeon Master Screen', finally.
After I opened it, I had to laugh at my own stupidity in wasting my money on this. The free screen that was offered in a past issue of Dragon magazine was better than this.
It's a half screen with the same old character portraits from the 3.0 screen. But at least the 3.0 screen came with a nice little booklet for quickie info and a combat matrix. And it was bigger.
And the inclusion of a D20 Modern screen with this is completely un-needed. I don't play that game let alone even own the D20 Modern book.
My advice, avoid wasting your money on this one. If I could get my money back I would. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a half-screen "Deluxe" DM screen (which I will never use). The D20 Modern screen got donated to the trash can.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe?? Not quite., March 27, 2004

This is the worst screen I've ever seen for any game, it's even worse than those old Judge's Guild screens you'd have to tape together yourself.

The single biggest problem is that it's laid out wrong. Instead of the typicsl "portrait" layout (meaning the screen is 11" tall) these are "landscape" and only about 8" tall. Apparently someone forgot the part where the goal is to screen some of the information from the view of players. As one of my players (a noted peeker) pointed out, "I could see over those screens from the other end of the table".

Don't buy them. Maybe if enough people don't they'll get a clue about what deluxe would mean. I was hoping for something more like the Forgotten Realms screens or the Kenzer & Co screens for Hackmaster. This is a step backwards.
