Old D&D box sets: Is there a screen?

[kengar]

Title pretty much says it all. I own all four "Basic D&D" boxes (Red through Black), but I thought there was a screen at one point too. Anyone know? Also, if there is, is there a picture so I can know what to look for? Thanks.

I don't recall having a screen, but you are missing the "gold" set, IMMORTALS RULES.

That's something I'd like to see in 3E, using those concepts with new mechanics...

The versions I got did not come with screens. But I don't know if they ever came out with one.

They did not come with screens, but there was a screen & min-mod released in about 1983 (still have mine, in NM condition) fot the Basic & expert sets. It was right when TSR went to the angled "TSR" logo..about the time DragonLance got it's start, and the module covers changed.

Some the later Intro to AD&D & First Quest boxed sets (which actually preceded the Intro to AD&D box, but I digress) of the mid-90's had screens included.

Check out www.acaeum.com for the old screen.

There was not a screen in the box sets, but there was a screen released in conjunction with the masters set. I have this one. If I remember correctly, it came with a short adventure (I think it had 'spire' or something in the title). The product was called Master Screen.

There was indeed a screen though it was sold separately and did not come with any of the boxed sets, it was a 3 panel affair, that was a swampy brown-green type colouring depciting 3 monsters on the central panel.

There was a screen sold separately. It didn't come in the box, ever, AFAIK

An example:

Combat Shield (basic D&D)

COOL!

I knew it wasn't part of the box sets, but I just wondered if it existed.

Out of curiousity, for those of you who read "Fuzzy Knights" on Kenzer's site, what screen is it that Mossfoot's using??
