Citizen Games' MasterScreen inserts for D&D

[BigFreekinGoblinoid]

I'm contemplating picking up one of Citizen Games' MasterScreen's ( customozable DM's screen ), and ditching the old cardboard screen. My other thought was Kalamar's screen (it's nice!) but I see longevity and flexibility with MasterScreen.

BUT ! ( OK - another "but" is that they are sold out - I have a source for one-- shhh! )

BUT !

What do I stick in the flaps? I'm sure I will develop my own inserts given enough time, but I'd rather start with someone else's work

The links from Citizen's website don't seem to help too much...

Can anyone direct me to a good resource site, or post something for me?

Thanks

Only two personal problems with Masterscreen:

1) It's three-panel, not four-panel (and three-panel has not been standard for at least ten years now)

2) The cost (19.95 each). If it were slightly cheaper, I would buy two, or I would buy one at 19.95 or even 25.00 if it were four-panel.

That said, I don't know of too many resources, though your best bet would be to start with the numerous GM resources produced by gamers such as "Bagpuss" (David Maple) and "Angramainyu". Any one who makes "GM reference sheets" for their favorite game is a good candidate.

After using the KOK megascreen with my Greyhawk game I could never go back. No three or four panel screen can ever replace it at my table.

I've done 3 sheets that would be suitable for D20 Modern, but not a D&D screen as yet (hmm new project perhaps)... you can get them at my website listed below.

Thanks all. I might have to rethink this a bit...

I have a MasterScreen and love it. Three panels is a slight drawback, but not enough for me. I use the excellent DnD3E reference sheets in mine.



Dnd Reference Sheets V2.9

I used them when I had another screen because I like their organization. I combined two of them into one and now have a great three panel screen that is organized the way I want it to be. The KoK screen is cool and has a lot of info, but I can't use it as quickly as I use my MasterScreen.

My players use the back three panels for maps of cities, and areas they have explored and anything else that inspires them.

I'm putting together inserts for my MasterScreen, and one of the things I'm doing is setting it up with foldovers. That is, each of the three internal panels has a sheet of info behind the clear vinyl, and in addition I'm attaching pages to the tops of those pages that hang on the inside. As a result I have 6 pages, 3 that I can see all the time and 3 that I can see by just lifting up a sheet.

If that makes any sense.

I have one, they're very nice!

BTW on the 3 panel issue, I have heard from Rob Stone at Citizen Games that the new version will be a 4 panel screen (I assume this new screen will happen when they come back in stock but don't quote me on that).

It may seem pricey, but they're very solidly constructed, none of that 3E WotC flop-around cheap cardboard. If you run multiple games, or like to tweak your screen for a homebrew world or house rules it's perfect (or if you ever look at a screen and say "why don't they have the tables I need on this?").
