Is the FR DM Screen better?

[Galfridus]

I have the original 3E DM Screen, and apart from keeping players from seeing my stuff I have to say I'm not impressed with it. I can never find the right chart when I need it, and usually end up just going back to the books to look up whatever it is I need. I might have just printed out my own tables and attached them to the screen, but I got the flimsy version and I'm not sure it could handle the extra weight. Is the FR version an improvement?

As far as I know they are phasing out the DMG screen and replacing it with the FR Screen. So odds are they are going to be almost identical other then a few charts and the screen art.

Too bad they don't make one like the one coming out for Hackmaster. It is going to have 32 panels that fold down to the same size as a 4 panel screen. But, of course, only Hackmaster has that many charts anyway...

Hopefully the Hackmaster screen is going to turn out as great as it sounds. 32 panels is a hell of a lot of info, but it also saves a great deal of flipping through books...

Insteed you're flipping through the 32 panels.

I hope the new screen is good--i'm really not very impressed with the 3e DM Screen. If not, i'll just tape up angrablahblah's reference sheets to my screen. Not to mention the book that it is coming with sounds like it would be good useful. New artwork is nice too.
