Official Dungeon Master’s screen for the 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game. This four-panel cardstock screen features new full-color artwork and allows Dungeon Masters to keep their campaign notes and die rolls private, without blocking their view of the game table. Easy-to-reference rules and tables appear on the inside panels of the screen; these are designed for the Dungeon Master’s eyes only and comply with the rules in the 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons core rulebooks. |

Who is This For?
If you are buying a Dungeons and Dragons product for a loved one, you might consider giving this if:
1.) He or she is serving as a part-time or full time Dungeon Master. The Dungeon Master’s Screen contains the rules only the DM should have access to. Players who have no interest in serving as a DM should not have access to this book.
2.) She is an accomplished Dungeons and Dragons DM in an earlier edition but is now looking to try out the 4th edition rules. The have changed substantially and are needed if she’s to participate in the online component.
3.) He is new to Dungeons and Dragons and doesn’t have a group of players. Chances are he’ll have to be the DM when he brings his friends together to play. This would be a good purchase only if he expresses a willingness to be the DM.
Do not buy this if:
1.) She is certain she only wants to be a player. The role of DM is taxing and requires a lot of pre-game preparation and creativity. Many Dungeons and Dragons players live happy lives never touching the Dungeon Master’s Screen.
2.) He is certain he wants to continue playing an earlier version of the Dungeons and Dragons game.
2.) She is still uncertain if she wants to continue playing the game or not.
Best Use of This Product:
The Dungeon Master’s Screen is primarily for DM’s to use the shield their game notes and dice rolls. One the outside — which the payers see — is a beautiful mural. On the inside are charts and tables which the DM commonly uses in a game. By putting the charts on the screen, the DM doesn’t have to flip through the Dungeon Master’s Guide for that information.
