Summary: What? Are we reviewing the same product here?
Review: Our group found this product very nearly entirely useless. A poorly executed design plus the accompanying amateurish artwork makes this item a sore thumb in the WOTC product line.
It should be noted here that I am a longtime DM and player of D&D in all of its incarnations (1st through 3rd, over 20 years) and a great fan of the latest edition, and most of the products WOTC have released. This however, is a huge exception. Just save your money and make your own.

Summary: Great, but why so much?
Review: So it's no secret that a DM screen is useful when running the game. Not only can you hide your rolls from the players (and therefore cheat in their favor when you need to), but it saves the trouble of having to either memorize the rulebook or stopping gameplay to flip through it, either of which is a major hassle. So if you're a Dungeon Master, you should probably have a Dungeon Master's Screen. Enough said. But as other reviewers have said, it's too expensive. In my opinion, since Wizards is going to make you spend sixty dollars collectively to get all three core rulebooks alone, the Dungeon Master's Screen should come free with the Dungeon Master Guide. All the information on the Screen can be found in the three Core Rulebooks. So what I suggest is taking a piece of cardboard, writing the rules you think you'll need into it, and making your own screen. However, you may rather just spend the money than hassle with it.

Summary: Functional but Nothing Special
Review: The 3rd edition D&D Dungeon Master's Screen is a serviceable product. The tables it provides are useful, and the art is pretty good. However, the screen doesn't really have the kind of functionality that would make it a must have. Also, I think it would be more practical if the screen itself were more rigid. If you want to use a screen for your game, this is the one. If not, you're not missing anything vital.

Summary: A useful tool and pleasant surprise!
Review: The best way to describe this DM's screen is two simple words; it's useful. What to know the effect of poor lighting on a rogue as he attempts the pick a lock during a thunderstorm, this will help you out in a split second. Need to know the AC adjustment for a Giant, it's right here. Checking up on how many spells a 3rd level wizard should have, look on this screen. Need the bonus, or penalty, for the halfling who just used the paralyzed dwarf for cover, bingo! It's on the screen. With a full, four panel, cover of art for the players to look upon and a full, four panel interior for the DM to use in his games, this sturdy, slick DM screen will help the DM out like a screen was ment too. Perhaps one of the best aids to someone running the game and easily the match for the Dungeon Master's Guide. You could run a game without it, but for the price you would save in time and effort, why would you? It's Useful.

Summary: Welll... what are YOU gonna use? Cardboard?
Review: The GM's Screen is a cgaming stable... to quote Paranoia© "The Computer lurks behind a wall of fear and ignorance, now you have your own wall of fear and ignorance to lurk behind..." Since you HAVE to have one... why not make it this one. It has everything you need (and since we are short on charts in 3rd edition these days) it has difficulty ratings, movement rates and all sorts of necessary info that keeps tou from flipping books... till you print your own, this is the best one your ever see.

Summary: Fell Short Of Its Potential...
Review: The new 3rd edition Dungeon Master Screen is, as in previous editions, always a handy accessory. However, while still a worthwhile purchase, this new edition is definitely not without its flaws. Beginning with the physical nature of the screen itself, the new screen is an accommodating four-panel format which provides much more room for the DM than would have been had with older three-panel screens. Likewise, the 3rd edition screen is made of a firm, laminated material which is resistant to nicks and tears and should hold up for many years of gaming. On the downside, however, the material of the screen isn't as thick or stiff as would be desired and, as a result, tends not to stand entirely erect and sags annoyingly under its own weight. Turning to the content of the screen, this I found quite disappointing. Despite the availability of four full pages of space (the entire outer-face is covered with one large scene of artwork), there seems to be an unfortunate lack of truly useful information in the charts and tables found on the interior. At least half of these tables could be replaced with more useful and fundamental ones. Hence, it seems that much of the screen's potential usefulness is going to waste. Lastly, the screen comes packaged with an eight-page booklet of quick-reference information, such as a combat planner and generic town statistics. Of particular note, this booklet contains the weapons chart, an item that most definitely should have been included (at least in part if not in whole) on the screen itself. In all, while I would recommend purchasing this product (having a Dungeon Master Screen is always an advantage, of course), I felt it fell short of its potential and could be much improved.

Summary: How Do You Rate a Screen?
Review: The screen is nice and full color. One side has a nice picture of some of the signature characters of the PHB fighting assorted nasties. The other are assorted tables and charts from the DMG and PHB, the important ones really. It is hard to say that it is anything special. Along with the physical screen is a small booklet with some combat stuff, and a cheesy square page for mini-combat. All in all I am somewhat dissapointed. Why you ask? Well I am a member of the White Wolf school of Game Screens. For the standard issue price of $14.95 you get a nice White Wolf screen, color picture one side, black and white crap on the other. Plus you get a little booklet with some fun stuff they did not have room for in the original game rule book. Thinking about D&D3E screen, a nice booklet would have come with Gem Dragons (Not in Monster Manual), perhaps a intro adventure, maybe a cut prestiege class or two, or better yet better rules (Like the article in Dragon 274) about creating Prestiege Classes, etc. I don't know the D&D3E screen seems faily skimpy for the price you pay. But then again how is Wizards supposed to make up the cost of the PHB, DMG, and Monsterous Manual. All in all not a great buy, but a required one.

Summary: Scare the players?? You better believe it DM!
Review: The warband slowly creeps through the dank dungeon, then from nowwhere a raving hoard of Orcs charges down the stunned group of adventurers. Will they make it? Will the Orcs crush the puny elves and humans? Well with the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Ed. DM's Screen that crucial role the little statistic is nnow at hand. With myriad's of information right there for the Dungeon Master. The screen not only gives the new rules to the DM, which removes the need for the DM to rifle through DMG's and Handbooks and Manuals, it also doubles as a ultra handy divider between the dastardly hoardes and the heroic adventurers. An excellant product, a must for the serious roleplayer!

Summary: useful... but...
Review: This handy little gaming accessory has everything needed to make gaming for the DM easier. It has easily accessible charts quick reference spell cast info and useful things like lined pages to photocopy for minatures. However, it seems a little extravagant to just sell it on its own, it is just a glorified piece of cardboard with some useful stats on it. Not really worth the price paid...
