    D&D 5E Building a better DM's screen

    Sorry to say but I'm not impressed with the WotC DM's screen. I bought it thinking it would help me transition from 2 decades of AD&D into the new world of 5th edition.

    Holiday one-off game... Ideas?

    I'm getting together with old friends for a nostalgic one-off AD&D game at the holidays. It'll have to be short (<10 hours) and closed-ended since we live all live at the far ends of the Earth. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for running such a short game?
