Dungeon Master’s Keep - $150 GM Screen?

I get that it is a screen in the physical sense but there doesn't seem to be a place to even tack up note-cards or other references. Am I just that glaringly bad at photo-comprehension? Are those features yet to be implemented? OR...maybe I've been excited about the wrong kinds of GM screens all this time. Those being the ones with plenty of cool tables, references, charts and pictures of my glaring nana taped over the leering dragon/monster on the front side.

I guess I'll let this one sail over my head and stick with my Savage Worlds customizable screen. Though all this talk of Lego and toy castles is pretty inspiring.

Meh. If I wanted something like that, I'd probably go to the hobby shop and pick up a bunch of balsa wood. Or the hardware store if I wanted to go with more durable materials. Maybe pick up a used Castle Greyskull set that's missing accessories off ebay for cheap. It would depend on what sort of nerd points I'm going for.

But I understand that some people are not as inclined to build things out of other things and it is kinda neat.
 

looking at it a bit more I also feel the tower, while cool, is a bit too small. Is this a deal breaker? Probably not and the amount of time I DM away from home will probably be the biggest deciding factor.

I have the cardstock version from FAT Dragon (the first, ultimate, not the 2nd :) ). It works well, and has similar "cool" factor to the resin one (in my opinion, obv.).
Functionally my only problem with it is that the dice tower is undersized - I would not want to roll the damage for a fireball through it for an example. [snip]
This has me wanting to print out my FAT Dragon model at 4x scale... of course I would get my throughput at the expense of a Huge Tower... but hey, it would be a Huge Tower!
 



Looks nice, and it is official for 4e, but ouch!

Mind you, it does not look like it will be joining in the Edition War - not caring what game it is being used for, let alone edition, and it looks solid.

I'm trying to think of words to describe this thing and I keep coming up blank. It's just so . . . so . . . lame.

If I can get one cheap enough I might give it to my daughter to add to her medieval Playmobil collection, though.
 

Yeah, this is not on my list of things to buy, even after I win the lottery.

I never really use screens anyway and would feel ridiculous sitting behind it.

I suppose it could be used for D&D man-cave decor.
