Summary: Great helper
Review: This is a great quick reference guide that allows you to look up a lot of the rules without having to dig through the pages of the DMG or PHB. Also great for keeping prying eyes from seeing what it is you are doing. Nothing scares a player more then when you roll hidden dice and chuckle to yourself.

Review: This screen is a life saver for me, as a DM. I use a rather large book to keep my DM notes, and this screen covers all. It is especially useful when my players have knocked down a door, and I can easily look up the DC. There are MANY DC's listed in the back, it almost looks like a few pages from the Dungeon Master Guide! From the back view (DM view) of the screen though, I could see right through it with a lamp being on our table. On the other side, the players couldn't see because of the beautiful illustration printed on the front. This can be an annoyance to some when looking for DC's. This screen is very durable, yessss, and it covers a large area. When we upgraded to a bigger table, I was able to hide my large DM notebook, the opened DM guide, and a closed Monster Manual behind it without letting the players know what I was looking at! The Monster Manual wasn't opened because I am not constantly looking in it. I only wish there were monster templates, and a section where you could put 1 or 2 of them up on the screen so you can keep the monsters at your fingertips. I always have to keep my pencil in place at the skeleton section of my Diablerie book. The same idea with spells might be nice, too.The bottom reviewer is not reviewing correctly. This place is where you review the product, not criticize it because you can make your own. This product is very good, and getting it is a good idea.

Summary: A good help, but missing in some areas
Review: This screen is very usefull to every DM, both with information and hiding those notes. The charts provide very good info and nice DC guide lines. The Combat Planner is also great, but there is one problem. I have 8 players, and there are only 6 slots, but it was easy to create a form /w 8 slots. One thing that has dissapointed me about the whole new edtion though is the more childish display of the game. The pictures are not as good as 2nd ED Screen(I loved that necro summoning skeletons) and the manner of writing is a bit cutesy. But DM Screen is a great resourse to every DM, allowing play to flow smoothly.

Summary: Nice, durable, and slightly overpriced.
Review: Well, a DM Screen is always a handy thing: especially for your players not to see what you just rolled, either for atmosphere or to cheat a little with the results. The problem is, most Screens always seem to have the same flaws:they're too small, and they're cheaply built. Not this time! This DM Screen is plastified, and four panels long, wich makes it more durable and allows to all of us DMs some SPACE to put our books and maps. [sigh] The DM Screen also comes in with a sheet of 1 inch graph paper, and a 7 page book containing some useful and some "not-so-useful" rule information: weapons table, grenadelike weapons, generating town and a Combat Planner. The front artwork is okay, but not fantastic. It catches the feeling of Dungeons and Dragons, but nothing more. The inside is nice: all important rules are there, especially the numerous actions possible in combat, their "action type" (free, move-equivalent, etc.), plus some handy notes (DC to break items, bash doors, hardness/hit points of numerous materials, light sources...) and an entire pannel is solely there for examples of DC for various skills: Balance, Bluff, Climb, Concentration, and many more. Overall, it's a good product, but in my humble opinion, it is slightly overpriced: I got mine for 12,95$CAN, wich is seems a bit too costy, considering it doesn't come with any handy sidebook (such as Critters, in Shadowrun, wich justified its 15-20$ cost).

Summary: Gorgeous and useful!
Review: You get a fold-out cardboard with beautiful artwork by my favorite Dungeons & Dragons artist (Mr. Easley!) which has most of the class reps. from the 3E Player's Handbook! Who knew? The artwork to me alone was worth the price, and Amazon's can't be beat. I enjoyed seeing this artist's renditions of Mialee, Lidda (and the rest!) with very useful and frequently used charts for DM's eyes only. This is a must-have for DM's who want to share a great gaming experience with their players.
