Summary: Not much can be said
Review: I have been playing D&D since 1976, the only good thing I can say is that the screen is larger than the ones made for the first ed. or second ed. the infomation on the back of the screen is not worth the money. Your better off making your own screen,than using this one.

Summary: Cheap material, save your money.
Review: I just picked up the latest DM screen and was totally disappointed. The good: there are some useful tables and having the screen in front of you should save a you a little time. The bad: the screen is not made from sturdy card stock, it's barely more than plastic coated paper (Yes, the thing is covered in plastic - but it's not like you think. The plastic is added as a coating to paper to make it more rigid and glossy, it does not serve as any sort of protection), the screen sags and does not stand up as nicely as the older heavy cardboard screens. Seem like WotC was more interested in cutting costs with this one then putting out a useful tool. Too bad, most of the new products have been pretty good. I guess everyone makes mistakes.

Summary: OKAY
Review: I never really understood the DM screen. to me it was useless but its very informative for beginers who dont know the rules very well.

Summary: It's just a little chunk of printed cardboard!
Review: I only bought this because I thought it was plasticized or laminated. IT ISN'T!!! It's exactly like the 1980 version, which I also own and is moderately stained not to mention out of date. Except this one is actually sorrier. The 1E version had two separate three side screens. This one has one four sided screen. The 1E was thicker. This one is barely above poster board. The 1E version had player info in addition to the images on the player side.And what am I supposed to do with the 8 page addendum? Looks like info they forgot to put in the DMG? I kept reading in modules about towns being "standard" or "unstandard" and I didn't know where that came from. Well it's from this! It doesn't fit inside the DMG which would've been something. So I don't know where I'm going to put it. And what am I going to do with the two piece cover sheet? Can't just chuck it because it might be collectable someday? So I have to find a safe file for it somewhere. Ugh. All in all a disappointment

Summary: Poor Design Overshadows Good Content
Review: I think the designers of this product missed the boat. They have included the essential information that a screen should have, but the materials chosen are rather poor. While this laminated screen might prove more durable than the cardboard stock screens of earlier editions, it is too elastic and resists being unfolded across the breadth of a table. It snaps back to an area that only hides a little more than a single stack of 8x11 papers. Maybe it can bbe salvaged with pressing or additional support, but if I'm going to need to do this extra work, I might as well just pull the material off the web and paste it on some descent cardboard.

Summary: It's a Screen, not a cancer cure.
Review: If 3rd edition hadn't went and streamlined the bulky,cumbersome rules of Second Edition into a tight, cohesive whole, this screen would have been 'useful'. As it stands, this thing is overpriced for what it does. And what it does is sell us something that could have just as easily been included with the DM guide itself. 4- 5 cent photocopies of the relevant material + 1 2nd edition DM screen =3rd edition DM screen.

Summary: Nice, but overpriced and unessential
Review: In all honesty, this is a nice DM screen. It's got great art on one side and good tables on the other side. The whole thing is laminated, so it's going to be durable. However, at $9.95 it's really over-priced. My suggestion to anyone is to copy the appendix in the Dungeon Master's Guide (the one with all the tables and charts), paste it to cardboard, and laminate it (if you like). I never owned a 2nd edition DM screen, because I made my own. My only regret is that I cannot return this screen, now that I've opened it.

Summary: Good, but....
Review: It could be better. It's a bit expencive, and it should COME with the DM Guide like alot of other's say. It's got a whole lot of very usefull information on the side that the DMs see, so, it's more good than not.

Summary: my opinion
Review: it saves time on accessing important charts and cuts down on fliping through the DMG (even though the pics are really cool!)

Summary: Nice, but.......
Review: Okay, first of all we really should not have to buy these screens seperatly, shouldn't they just stick this in the DM guide? This is okay for all DMs but the art isn't all that eye-catching. Overall this is good if don't have the time to print out your own, and to whoever said it was small, no it's not!
