4.0 out of 5 stars A Dungeon Master's Secret Weapon, 8 Feb 2004

By

This review is from: Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screens (Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 Accessory) (Misc. Supplies)

There are two key rules to organising and running a good tabletop roleplay game. Firstly, keep all commonly used information close at hand. Secondly, keep your plans hidden away until they're needed. This double-pack of screens does both.

The first screen is for use with Dungeons and Dragons, and is based on the 3.5 edition of the rules. The screen is a four-part fold out, making it shorter and wider than normal. You get more space to hide things away, and can peer over the top easily to watch the game itself. The real usefullness of the screen is with the charts on the Dungeon Master's side. Almost every stat and skill is referenced here, reducing the amount of time spent on looking up facts and rules. Included in this edition are page references for the Player's Handbook or Dungeon Master's Guide, allowing you to find information in more detail easily. Finally, the combat information included will ensure that your game runs smoothly whatever the players (or you) try to do.

The second screen is for use with the D20 Modern game system. This screen is the same shape as the Dungeons and Dragons one, and includes similar information on the DM's side. Page number references for each chart and table have also been included. The Thrown Explosives and Burst Radius charts will be incredibly useful in a game when anything can (and usually does) happen.

If you're just starting out with your own Dungeons and Dragons or D20 Modern campaign, this pack of screens is highly recommended as a quick reference guide. If you're an experienced DM, this set will complement your existing collection of D&D 3.5 or D20 Modern books well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good screen, 9 Nov 2010

Has most of what I'd want to see on a screen, but the stats for doors were on twice (albeit in two differing capacities) while there was nothing on spot or search check modifiers. Despite this omission is still a rather good screen with many commonly forgotten tables on it like armour/weapon stats and AoE crit failure hit table.

Plus it came with a bonus D20 Modern screen, so I can hardly complain.

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

By Reecoh - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screens (Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 Accessory) (Misc. Supplies)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a joke, right?, 7 April 2004

By Darkling "chuck74" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screens (Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 Accessory) (Misc. Supplies)

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., 27 Mar 2004

By S. Donohue "Geekier than I want to be." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Deluxe Dungeon Master's Screens (Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 Accessory) (Misc. Supplies)

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.
