#1 frothsof Jul 03, 2014 16:57:27	Im all thumbs w formatting, first person to make an updated DM screen gets their praises sung all over the internet and I will include u as an NPC in my game next week
#2 frothsof Jul 03, 2014 16:59:54	Prizes i am sure u have always dreamed of
#3 SwampDog Jul 03, 2014 17:45:13	I made a crude one, not really suitable for uploading.   It should work well enough for our intro to 5e game tomorrow though.
#4 frothsof Jul 03, 2014 18:15:28	Give up the goods, Swampy
#5 frothsof Jul 04, 2014 6:39:33	Still hoping one pops up before the game next Tuesday, if anyone sees one hel a brother out.

#8 iserith Jul 04, 2014 6:55:23	I don't normally use a DM screen, but when I do, I use my Charles in Charge Trapper Keeper. I put some duct tape over "Charles" and wrote "DM" in its place in permanent black marker and underlined it three times. Scott Baio doesn't say **** more than once, got it?

#12 WhiteHarness Jul 04, 2014 8:23:05	I just prop a breastplate on the table in front of me. Works just fine.

#21 spelley Aug 01, 2014 19:30:05	I'm going to look into making one myself. I've made one in the past with the same basic premise. Mine ideally involve panels with card stock backs w/plastic page protectors glued to them so I can swap out sheets as needed. For those sheets, I'm imagining:   - 3 Panels, portrait AND landscape versions - 1 Panel for common conditions & grapple/push/shove/jump rules - 1 Panel for DCs for common tasks (climbing various wall types. jump distances, maybe common traps?) - 1 Panel for fiddly random rules and maybe the skill descriptions. I usually use this panel for story bits with a swappable format   I find landscape vs portrait is usually just a matter of kitchen table vs coffee table.
#22 trebor_rjf Aug 01, 2014 20:04:33	i use the 1e city of brass one. when people ask what the numbers and charts do, i just tell them it's a secret and slither away.
#23 Sling617 Aug 01, 2014 22:12:35	I still use my Physical Graffiti album....
#24 frothsof Aug 02, 2014 8:18:57	Lol Sling, id say u won the internet but that would be putting it too mildly
#25 AaronOfBarbaria Aug 03, 2014 15:14:45	Alright, this should be a link to my attempt at some DM screen inserts.   If it works for you, great, but if not... hold out for when WotC makes their official screen early next year - either it will be fantastic, or I'll be motivated to do better than it does.   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4679Q8Opa_FSW9EQnVrZG1BTnM/edit?usp=sharing
#26 mboss77 Aug 03, 2014 16:00:31	Wow, thanks Aaron! I appreciate the time and consideration to share.
#27 Thalion94518 Aug 03, 2014 16:45:14	Thanks Aaron!  Those look great!

#30 Azzy1974 Aug 03, 2014 17:42:53	Dude. I'm usually like "If a fan-made DM screen (or other stuff) isn't made by me, it's typically crappy" (not because I think I'm all "mad skillz" or whatever, but because I'm so used to seeing crap-quality offerings on the webz). So it's with some shock that I looked at Aron's efforts and dug what I saw—really nicely done! Bravo, mi hombre!
#31 AaronOfBarbaria Aug 03, 2014 19:33:42	Thanks for the praise folks, glad to see I wasn't staggeringly off the mark.   And Azzy, don't feel too bad - I am the same way when it comes to other people's fan-made stuff. I'm always thinking "Brace yourself!" while the file is loading for me to check things out.
#32 zguillotine Sep 29, 2014 14:11:14	What font did you use for that screen, Aaron? I think the screen is great, but I evidently don't have the font and it makes a mess when I try and print it. So, I will go get the font, if you can tell me the name.

#34 intently Oct 01, 2014 9:12:39	Thanks for sharing this, it's very useful.   Some thoughts: Re-allocate the page contents into three cagetories, with one page for each: "Travel and non-combat", "Combat", and "Commonly looked-up rules" Page 1, "Travel and non-combat", could be the same as your current page 1, but remove the "combat step-by-step" section and add the "character advancement" section Page 2, "Combat", could include "Combat step-by-step", "actions in combat" (shortened), "conditions" (shortened), and a list of common reactions and bonus actions Page 3, "commonly looked-up rules", could include the "using each ability" section (shortened), plus details on things like hiding/stealth, grappling, concentration, readying an action, death rules, exhaustion ​Thanks again!
