What to say about a DM's screen? AT the last these are utilitarian items, so it's effectiveness, accuracy and looks that make the measure. On all of these I am afraid that this screen falls short. The painting on the front is an archetypal encounter with the Emerald Claw, and has the distinction of not including a Warforged! It's useful for players as a reminder of one of the elements of the game, but perhaps not as evocative as it could have been. It doesn't credit him, but I am guessing that this is a Wayne Reynolds painting.
Inside, the information is what you expect. The only Eberron element is the list of Dragonmarks, Houses and the associated Guilds. But good grief, they missed out the Mark of Healing! Not a good start. Additionally I am not happy with the decision to make the shield stand in landscape fashion (i.e. long side on the table) rather than the usual portrait. It /is/ a shield, and thus needs shield the DM's notes, not sort of provide a half divider.
Of course, the real reason most of us will buy this item is the new poster map of Khorvaire inside. And very nice the map is too, with trade roads and lightning rail lines running contiguously. And with political boundaries marked, which make judging location easier. But I was very disappointed with the quality of the glossy paper it is printed on. It's really thin and flimsy, and even after opening it only a couple of time the corners of folds are beginning to fray. Not good, Wizards! Maps are one thing that will be opened and closed often. If Paizo can manage a reasonable quality for their /free/ map of Greyhawk, then you ought to do the same, even if it adds a couple of dollars to the price. Eberron and maps are cursed, it seems.
Overall, I can only give this product three stars. It doesn't have the quality and style I would expect from an Eberron addition.

This dungeon master screen for Eberron is great, best than everything because the 4 sheets are horizontal instead of vertical, thus making the screen very low, allowing the master to see over it.

Warning about the Eberron DM Screen
22 Aug 2005
Format:Board book
Overall the screen is good;
The landscape format is fantastic, you can see over the screen when you need to see what's going on, yet it still provides the DM some privacy.
The artwork is great (even if it is a reprint of artwork from "The Order of the Emerald Claw" adventure cover, it is expanded).
The details and tables on the screen, in general are excellent.
And the map that is included is an awesome play aid.
BUT.....
HOUSE JORASCO IS MISSING FROM THE LIST OF DRAGON MARKED HOUSES!!!!
I mean it's just a basic cut and paste from previously printed lists of Dragon Marked Houses OR any basic editing should have caught this oversight.
UNFORGIVABLE, especially when, of the 3 Eberron specific tables included on the Deluxe Eberron Dungeon Master's Screen, the main one is incomplete!
This poor quality is becoming more and more common from Wizards D&D releases of late. Very, very disappointing. As you may be able to tell, I am still furious about this oversight, so I just wanted to warn people of the incompleteness of the product, when compared to its description on the back of the product.

The only screen you'll ever need
21 Aug 2005
Format:Board book
This is, quite possibly, the best screen yet released for D&D, regardless of setting. Including tables for everything from Cleric's turning checks to Influencing NPC attitudes, as well as a handy Days of the Week and Months of the Year guide for Eberron's calendar (among a large number of other goodies), it's clearly meant for a high-roleplay campaign. Things like Item Breac DC's and what actions provoke what are also included, and it does quite a bit to lower the ammount of time some of the more rules-driven areas of the game take up in game time. Also, since it uses the D&D Deluxe Screen landscape format, I really don't feel half as "cut-off" from the players as when using my Forgotten Realms screen.
Still, there are areas in which the screen could be improved. There are three emblems (the same as the O in the Eberron logo) on the DM's side of it in which another table could be placed. Also, when viewed from a high angle the text doesn't contrast very well with the table background... and since my group generally plays around a coffee table, my players can easilly tell when I'm looking something up when I have to lower my eyes almost to the level of the screen. It's something to look over before the game while players are building characters (or before they arrive) or during the occasional in-session break, but otherwise to be reserved for really sticky deal-with-the-rules-lawyer situations.

The Only DM's Screen You Will Ever Need
2 Sep 2006
Format:Board book
I bought this expecting it to be only used during my upcoming Eberron campaign - I was dead wrong. This has every table you will need, and some you won't for the non-Eberron games. It's horizontal so I don't feel like I'm at a seperate part of the table than the gamers. It provides all the privacy I need for rolling dice and stashing papers. I can wrap it all the way around, almost to both edges of the table around me, at a comfortable visibility level. I could have a player sitting next to me and successfully hide my rolls.
Definately a recommended purchase - especially for the low price.
