The Ultimate DM Screen and carry all

[Wolf1066]

Now, how about one that will hold 2 Chromebooks, CP2020 core book, "Listen Up, You Primitive Screwheads", Night City source book, 9 A4 plastic pocket folders (6 10-pocket, 2 40-pocket and a 20-pocket), an A4 refill, 4 small spiral-bound notepads, 24 assorted pencils/pens, 4 sets of dice, laptop computer, folding stand for laptop, second 15" monitor and 2 speakers...

Doesn't have to be transparent, dice tower is not necessary (but a baize-lined A4-sized tray that folds out/down for me to throw the dice into would be nice)

Second monitor faces the players, so it could possibly be built into the middle section of the GM screen, facing the players.

Is that "riser" tilted so the dice tumble out into the tray when it is extended?

True but a magnetic white board would be more advantageous.

the Riser isn't tilted, if the riser is tilted, if the DM uses a lot of dice, say Shadowrun and tons of D6s, there may not be room for 'em all, you see? i'ts designed as an extension of the tray, not merely where the dice fall

besides it's easy to get the dice out (plenty of space for hand to get in) and most dice will have sufficent energy to bounce a little so, likley they'll roll into the cup, but not too much energy as the ramps' small height and sideways set up prevent great outward motion.

in fact, you could even dispense with the cup and riser if wish, just have a small strip at bottom to stop dice falling out, but again, then there'd not much room for lots of dice.

Hey, everyone has different tastes/needs

Falcarrion
aye, but it's fitting a magnetic whiteboard IN that could be a problem, depending on thickness

I have inset the side there 4mm total, the panel is 2mm thick perspex, so there's a 2mm gap left between it and the edge, giving enough room for magnetic stripping/plaques. So your magnetic whiteboard would need to fit in there.

I also wanted all the construction to be perpsex, clear, for looks.
but, again, nothing to stop someone doing a little redesigning of their own version
