New DM Screen Coming In September

It looks like we know what another of the four unnamed accessories coming this year are! As you may recall, the first turned out to be a book of character sheets; the second, it now transpires, is a new DM Screen coming out September 8th (likely the 19th for non-preferred stores' as that's the date they list for one of the unnamed accessories). This is listed as coming from WotC rather than Gale Force 9. WotC's Nathan Stewart revealed the screen, along with the following photograph -- "On sale at your FLGS Sept 8. That is the DM Screen Reincarnated" I've updated the D&D Release Schedule page accordingly.

The second image below (of Matt Mercer on a TV screen) shows the top edge of the new DM Screen. The third shows one side panel from the outside which displays Tyler Jacobson's art from Tyranny of Dragons.

The front panels feature Tyler Jacobson's red dragon from Tyranny of Dragons.

The current one is okay. The random stuff on the screen is handy, but honestly, I have apps and websites bookmarked for that sort of thing. Even if I didn't, it has a super finite number of uses. More rules references are much more preferable.

Honestly though, I already have an awesome one.
I took the 4e screen, stuck some plastic page protectors onto one side (with removable adhesive tabs), then printed out some pages and relevant tables:

I can write notes on it with wet or dry erasers, and changes the pages when needed for other game systems.

Still, it's nice to see them trying to make improvements.
We have character sheets and the DM Screen "announced". I can't wait to see what the other two products are.

very good Jester.
I'm gonna have to yank this from you.

This one looks more useful than the current one

Can we go back to the old 4 2 thinking of screens. Inside good information. Far outside panels good information for players. Two inner outside panels artwork.
