[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 82693, member: 53"] I like using a Screen. However, I don't like how it separates me from the interaction with the players or how it screens part of the battlemat from me during combats. In my ideal DMing setup (which I rarely manage) I have the DM Screen up on a side table. That way I can interact with my players without a barrier, yet still keep a "private area" to keep die rolls, maps and notes from the players eyes. Also, I have the charts I that may need reference nearby and handy. Nearby I have a white board to keep track of initiative (and let the players know who is next before it is their turn) and also to allow some illustration for the players. My second choice is having an extra level so I can see clearly over the Screen. I usually manage that because I use a card table to extend the dining room table. It's just low enough to give that advantage. Glyfair of Glamis [/QUOTE]
