DM Screen (homemade)

[Jimmie]

Hi there! New here, new as a DM, and heck, new to DnD all in all.
So, have been DMing with a few friends for a few mounths now and we are all newbs. We all have a blast, but there has been a lot of reading and searching in the books, so, I decided to look in to this thing with a DM screen. I have no trouble to invest time in this so I decided to make one myself, so in that way I can have it my way and fit it with the info I feel I need.
I would like to share it here and have some opinions. Please keep in mind that english is not my first language, I'm new to this and as a DM and I might have turned down grammatics for space; So, the frasing might be wrong. I don't expect anyone ele to use the screen, so it's no biggy I feel, as long as I understand it.

What I wonder I think, is mostly if there are information that are really unnecessary or if there is some important info missing (I mean info often used that is nice to have on the screen).

Also, I know screens, at least those I have seen have four pages, and mine got six. In the future I might be fine with information that can fit on four pages, but for now I feel like I need all this. I don't know (opinions)...
My plan is to make a screen where two of the pages is folded out from the outer pages, lying flat to the table.

Well, enjoy, or not Thanks!

I think you did a fantastic job on these! Very nicely done and the information is great. Not bad for a so called new DM.

Why, thank you Happy to hear. Still have info I would like to fit though, I have to see what info is the most important, why I also asked if something is unnecessary so my decision might be easier..
Anyway, glad you liked it. Will post the final one when ready.

Ooo. Those are pretty slick. I'll have to look a little closer to make recommendationa but they caught my eye. I'd almost recommend throwing them on the DMsGuild...

Please do, I need all tips possible.
And as I'm new here, is this "DMsGuild" an other section of this forum?

No, the DMsGuild is website run by WotC and the DTRPG people. You can create an account and post your custom D&D content for people to buy (and free or pay what you want are options). You can use anything in the Basic and SRD and, DMsGuild only, Forgotten Realms and Ravenlofy IP. You can check it out here: https://www.dmsguild.com/

But then he'd have to take them down from here.

I think in the DMSGuild you have access to all the 5e rules.
