DM's screen - I think the 5e screen is one of the best I've seen, and has a good selection of charts and references, though I will admit that I generally use it mostly just for blocking dice and notes4. the adventure at hand5. miniatures, counters, terrain and other props for battles6. pre-printed stat sheets pulled from the SRD and modified as needed (or created whole cloth) for the foes at hand7. a notebook with shorthand details on the basics of the area most likely to come into play in that session.  I usually go through the section of the adventure I expect us to cover a day or two before and jot down basic features of the dungeon, room #s with occupants and their likely course of action, traps, anything else I think I will want to be able to know at a glance without reading the page of the adventure.8. PHB9. MM10. DMG11. Any other books that might be useful, like the campaign setting, or anything that has optional rules that anyone is using, including Gary Gygax's Extraordinary Book of Names12. printouts of other info likely to come up, for example, maybe a sheet with the spell descriptions for whatever spells a player has in his spellbook or commonly prepared.  We just picked up a set of Bard Spell Cards and I assume these will hit the spot for this, looking forward to getting the wizard and cleric sets when they become available (again). 13. beer 14. pizza</blockquote>
