4e - Dungeon Master Screen Review?

One can only hope...:erm:
Is that supposed to be snark directed at me? It may otherwise be a great product but I'm patient, have a limited budget for these things, and I'd rather spend my money on a completed product (The Table being in an errata PDF instead doesn't quite cut it for me).


cheers

No, it's not. I'm sorry that it could have been read that way. ;)

I'm just doubtful that WoTC would ever reprint a product with errata which is one of the reasons why I haven't even bought a hardcopy of the core rulebooks yet!

IIRC, WoTC did suggest that you should print out the pdf errata and pin it to cover the DC table on your screen because it was in the right size. :confused:
 






You're right, that was misleading. It's just a pdf for the chart.

Thinking about it again, I may have misinterpreted the post I replied to. I thought questing_gm was referring to the DMG errata pdf. Sorry about that if I got it wrong. :(

It's ok, as long everyone's clear on that ;)

It's quite alright, just making sure.

I have this odd preference for somewhat finished products, which is also why I haven't bought the DMG yet.


cheers

Agreed, I'm with you on that. That's why either WoTC is going to put in that errata or I'm not going to buy it. ;)
 

If so, I'd avoid most RPGs if I were you, since 90% of them release errata, and the other 10% need to.
Note the "somewhat". I don't mind errata as such, and in general I appreciate when things that need fixing get fixed. What I do mind is when a significant portion of a rulebook needs to be replaced with it shortly after launch, because the thing was obviously rushed. I'd consider the page 42 chart to be the heart of both the DMG and the DM screen, so the ones in the printed product not working is a bit of a turn-off. I'm not usually in the market for DM screens at all, but all the praise has piqued my interest. It's still nonessential though (as is having a DMG for each member of the group), so I can wait.

It's not really a problem with the PHB, because mostly I'll just be referencing powers and I have those on separate cards anyway.


cheers
