[QUOTE="happyhermit, post: 6879066, member: 6834463"] I am as well... in theory, but I sometimes find myself wishing I could purchase a profesional version these days. I think it is due to mostly being very busy with other stuff, but also that I sort-of want to give a few bucks to support things I like (5e) and since I don't really want any splat or adventure it seems like a good option. I really have no idea if they get more than a few pennies when GF9 sells a deck of cards though. Thanks, the way you put it does make sense, it is pretty much what the players are doing, and it does sound efficient. The way you put "the spell slots are separate" brings me back to trying something I thought of before, a small white board/scratch pad/something dry erase with a set of spell slots on it that can be checked off or written in, then "reset" quickly after a rest. I have thought of and tried making other cards for abilities and even attacks and it can be very handy for reference, but especially with new players I am very leery of anything that could potentially narrow a players idea of what they can attempt. So, I have avoided it so far, but so many people have mentioned it. So I will admit it, I just don't know what to put on a DM screen in 5e :.-( What used to be the ultimate "cheat sheet" for us in the past I have utterly failed to create in so far. Conditions, actions, world building info ??? I just don't know, if there is something I want to add, by the time I have come close to making a custom screen I have it memorized:hmm: I have thought about making something like I have seen in tabletop games like mysterium, where the screen has slots with cards, or old protective organizing sheets. I think for me it might have to be very easily modifiable in 5e to be useful. It would be cool if someone made something like that, that would stand well and hold cards, but I doubt it. So, here's yet another question; [U]What do you put on a 5e DM screen?[/U] [/QUOTE]
