Which is better?

[SlamZanee]

My DM doesn't have an actual screen anymore (unless you consider an old piece of cardboard a good screen) and i thought id get him one though i can't decide between these two.

We are currently in a Realms campaign and he likes to use the Realms often....well almost everything iv read prefers the Dungeons & Dragons: Deluxe 3.5 Dungeon Master's Screens but im also looking at the Forgotten Realms Dungeon Master's Screen and was wondering if anyone here has used either or has any opinions about them.

May I humbly suggest my screen that I made for 3.5

When I designed it, I asked myself the following, I said "myself, what is the info that I need to reference the most often during a game session" and put in on a 3 panel, horizontal (which I think is best because A) it hides a wider space and B) you see better the game table, and the players see you better).

Without further ado, My Screen.

Thanx it is more informational but A. dont have a printer...B. would need the thicker paper C. no pretty pictures

for lazy old me its much easier to just enter in some credit card numbers and have it sent to my door. thanx alot though i apreciate the help.

The Realms screen is for D&D 3e, and the Deluxe screen is 3.5e. I'd go with whichever edition you are playing. You could also wait for the release of http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=4977 which has more panels and info than either of the others.

I second the "wait for the 3.5 Kalamar screen". I have the 3.0 and it was the best screen I ever used. It has everything. Even a pizza toppings matrix...

The Hackmaster screen is the way to go. It was the greatest advance in gaming technology in thirty years.

I've seen "blank" screens for sale at my local gaming store; they look pretty sturdy and have plastic pockets you put your info in, so you can customize it and change it whenever you want.

Well, I don't own any of them, so I can't answer.

I proposed MY screen but NOOoooo... MY screen is not GOOD enough for YOU !

YOU want to have YOUR screen delivered to your DOOR.

Fine. I don't care. Take your fancy delivered-to-door screen. See if I care.

All you would have to do is buy a printer, and print out my screen, but uh-uh, my screen is not worth a brand new printer. You'd rather go for the cheap solution, and buy an off-the-rack pre-made delivered-to-door screen.

Did you at least LOOKED at it ? Did you ? I don't think so, because if you had sister, you would have been awed by the ingenuity of it. You would have been mesmerized by the stunning layout. YOU would have RAN out of your HOUSE and bought a BRAND, NEW, PRINTER.
