Will my 3ed DM Screen be obsolete?

[Fenris]

I have the 3ed DM screen, will the changes in 3.5 render it completely or partially obsolete or not really affect it? I know some of the skill name changes will need to be noted, but I was thinking more along the lines of the DC reference charts.

I would expect it to be obsolete, if you move to 3.5 for your rules. Lots of small changes across the board will make trying to translate it more trouble than it's worth.

Things like Distracting Actions, threatened squares, hardness values will make it less worthwhile. I think dungeon will be shipping in June with a 3.5 DM Screen, though.

If you subscribe to Dragon (or was it Dungeon?) there will be a free 3.5e DM screen in one of the upcoming issues - either July or August, I think.

It was Dragon. Issue #310 will have the DM screen. The press release from Paizo is here.

That'll be in every issue, not just subscribers' issues, won't it?

Yep, though newsstand price will increase by $1 for that issue.

I guess I should have clicked on the link that was right in front of me before asking that question. Oh well, laziness does that to you.
