Not saying that they are cheaters, just curious. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your screen. I once worked on a flip book that was nothing but photos of of the game from the perspective of the GM's seat.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-18085259593887220052010-11-10T10:20:16.239-07:002010-11-10T10:20:16.239-07:00Thanks for sharing all this, bliss.

I love reading about how others structure their gaming and what systems they put in place. <br /><br />I built a full 4 panel screen out of heavy board covered with sheet protectors. I can change out pages as I want or need on the DM side, and either change the art on the front or give the players access to some of the tables if I decide to do that. Very flexible. It folds into a nice 8.5 x 11" flat package. I also made a mini version that's half-pages for my "traveling" game kit.<br /><br />Can't wait to read the next installment!Reese Laundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225208626688676372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-13998106614879647312010-11-10T09:28:07.784-07:002010-11-10T09:28:07.784-07:00I have and have used the 4th edition DM screen. I...I have and have used the 4th edition DM screen. It's actually pretty well laid out and for the most part the information is useful. Of course, every time I've used it, I promptly ignored every table on the thing. I like to run games fast, fun, and loose with a minimal amount of rules lawyering. Which, believe it or not, is easy to do in 4th edition. So, it probably is overkill for me. I mainly use it to track initiativeLevel1Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228389124383077790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-15904976417232709082010-11-10T08:47:00.562-07:002010-11-10T08:47:00.562-07:00Thanks Drance.

Have fun putting your screen together too.bliss_infintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733609487959653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-86992610231953598602010-11-10T08:24:16.206-07:002010-11-10T08:24:16.206-07:00That D&D 4E screen is insane, in a bad way.

To me, that monstrosity of a screen seems to indicate otherwise...or maybe it's just me. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a real, solid OD&D campaign going sometime in the near future (fingers crossed). And I hope to create my own home-made screen for easy reference of rules. Yours is a great inspiration!Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.com
