[QUOTE="Akhenaten, post: 2008467"] This is the first DM's screen I have actually bought, and this was because, mainly, a friend of mine who owned it moved away. This is a good screen, with only a few faults: -It is not laminated on both sides. I can't remember precisely, but another of my friends has White Wolf's Werewolf screen, and I'm pretty sure it is. Very handy with gamers and our token drink, the soda. -No table of CR or Treasure. Treasure might be a bit of an embellishment, but I can't think of any good reason why the Challenge Rating wasn't published on the screen. -Font too large. I don't know about anyone else out there, but the font size in FRCS seemed awfully fine to me, and the PHB font size was even bigger. So why put a comparatively huge font on the screen, when for most DMs, it will be at most three feet away from the eyes at all times. I do appreciate the Quad-fold binding, though. I have put up with too many prepackaged DM's screens that are trifold, and they don't cover up anything except for tiny, tiny dice. The quae-fold also stands up nicely. The folds aren't even, either, letting the screen fold easily one way, like one of those $5 laminated maps. And maybe it's just me, but $10 isn't all that much. I'm a college student, earning minimum wage working a maximum of 7 hours a week in a campus job, but $10 really isn't all that much. If you're that needy for money, don't buy it, but don't get too into this hobby, either. It's expensive as the years (months!) go by. [/QUOTE]
