My Dungeon Master Tool Kit Part 3 - Dungeon Master Screen of Bad-Arseness

All righty... back at it here with part of 3 of my gripping Dungeon Master Kit series (part 1 and part 2). 

I have a problem... I own *a lot* of Dungeon Master screens.  I've been on the quest for the perfect one... never resting... never ceasing... until NOW. 

Behold, the Loreweaver GM Screen! I participated in the Kickstarter for this... because.  

It's excellent. You can get it at NTSD Gaming (amongst other cool stuff). 

It's made of vegan leather (WTF is that you may ask? It's a material made of polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride). It looks great and does indeed feel a lot like actual leather.

It folds up nicely with a strap for extra sassiness.

I opted for a few customizations. I figure this will be the last DM Screen I'll ever buy (God willing). I opted for:

  • landscape orientation
  • chestnut color
  • name embossed on the one side

Totally my real name.

The NTSD logo is on the other side - I dig it.

Shit is about to go down.
In addition to looking great, it has great functionality. It's magnetic, so it came with:
  • Cool d20 magnets to attach my own inserts. I made my screen inserts via Marq (a great free service). 
  • Related note: While I've found lots of screens with cool art, they never seem to have exactly what I want. A custom screen is definitely the way to go.
Adorable... like your mom.
  • Magnetic initiative trackers that afix right to the screen.
My dice are totally not posing.

Initiative trackers... "Evil" is what I use for any opponent.

What the players see (well, this and my roguishly handsome visage).

  • Two magnetic white boards (one with a grid and one without).

Whiteboards aplenty.

I also splurged for other goodies.

  • foldable dice tower that magnetically attaches to the screen.
Works pretty well, despite what my players think. I can't help that I roll 20s, bitches.
Shit is about to go down (again).

This is what dice look like in a dice box (FYI).

There were some other goodies, too, like magnetic spell cards and PC ards.

Spell cards. The PC cards are, sadly, MIA at the moment.

This was an awesome purchase. I love it and highly recommend.

However, if you want a more budget friendly customizable screen, there are options here: link 

Prior to finding the Kickstarter, I was on the verge of making my own screen. Here are some great ideas on how to do that. The DIYer in me still finds these options appealing.
