It's been crazy busy in my world, so it's been over a month since I received the 4-Panel Customizable DM Screen and thus far I'm very happy with it.ARRIVED: Nicely packaged in an attractive printed cardboard box/sleeve that seemed to keep it safe, no damage, no problems.USABILITY: The vinyl folio has 4 panels, each with transparent sleeves intended to receive 8.5"x11" slide in sheets with either images (facing out) or data (facing in). One can either use the pre-printed images and forms included with this product (if they work for the game you're running) or you can print / make your own 8.5"x11" inserts. I suspect either card stock or paper will work. The ones that come with the product are printed on paper. I'm running D&D5e, and the forms weren't made for that, so I'll be making my own inserts.FACINGS: Based on the way the 4 panel folio wants to naturally curve, the way the product arrived, it seemed that the images were on the inward facing side (concave) of the folio leaving the outward facing (convex) side to receive the data sheets. That's backwards from how I use my screens, so I just slid the images out and slid them into the sleeves on the opposite side. NOTE - the images assume 2 end images and 2 middle images, so if you want to use the ones you see in the product pictures, there is a "right" way to arrange them (probably 4 right ways = 2 valid end position options x 2 valid center panel options).SPREAD - compared to my normal DM screens which are made of panels wider than they are tall, this taller than wide arrangement is nice for games where people are sitting in close and you want to get a bit of privacy from people sitting close off your elbows. I like the extra height. If you need to cover a lot of left-to-right distance, you may need to augment this screen as it's not the widest I have.SLEEVE EASE - I was a bit concerned about how easy it would be to get papers in and out of the sleeves on either side of the screen, but I've had no trouble at all so far. Sheets slide in and out easily.COLOR - Since the brand color for D&D5e is red, I went for the red vinyl version and I like the color very much - very vibrant and bright.SIZE/PORTABILITY - fits easily in my DM bag, though not inside my clam shell style clip board. Thicker and beefier than a standard D&D DM screen, these do take up a bit more room, but I don't find it to be a problem.Overall I'm very satisfied with this product and can't wait to come up with my own custom data and reference sheets and eventually my own custom art. The flexibility of being able to design both sides of this screen is hard to beat. I highly recommend this product to DMs/GMs who like the idea of taking control of their screen design. A great product.

I got this for my partner (our groups DM) for Christmas as he needed an upgrade from the Essentials kit DM screen. It’s very sturdy and made of quality materials. The sheets they included for free are nice, but the customization is where this thing shines. Now my partner can put custom tables he makes in the slots for any given session, and you can even customize the outer panels for the party to see! We have a world map and hopefully will soon have a party picture to display on the outside, which is just a super fun little addition for the players at the table. Be warned, the panels are larger than standard paper size, the height is the same but it’s a couple inches wider, which honestly in our case just helps fit even more prep material!

Greetings my fellow adventurers,I left the tavern shortly after our cheery group of adventurers finished up the initial quest and unlocked several tantalizing side plots (Seriously guys that goblin attack wasnt a random encounter it actually leads to a dungeon craw with countless, well ok 12 , but countless caverns filled with horrible green evil goblin groupies to kill! take the Damn lead! seriously, but I digress. ) and jogged on over to the interwebal mercantile under the giant lowercase a sign and evil orange grin, looking for a DM screen. i found this one quickly and after some deliberation, admittedly placing it my wishlist and then stopping by the local game shop to see if I could give them my slightly difficultly earned 1s and 0s in exchange for a screen for which I could make my own charts and edit monsters and generally hide notes from my eager adventuring friends. ALAS, no dice, well they had plenty of dice but no customizable screens like this one. So back to the story, I told you I digress.It arrived via the typical mysterious brown box on my door step in a very short time, I immediately opened it to find this treasure! its a high quality device of (red in my case) plastic. yep just what I ordered. The quality was what i expected. its essentially a quad folded binder cover type device. the outward facing tome looking graphics were of high quality and the whole unit seemed quite durable. the DM or GM inserts were also on high quality paper and the printing was crisp and clear.Sliding the pages into the sleeves is best done slowly as clear plastic isnt loose but seriously go slow and the pages wont wrinkle. It stands up nicely on the table and in the next game session i will snap a few soul captures of it and post them. I am pleased with the purchase and cant wait to use it to add more mystery to the next adventure. If you are looking for a DM screen you want to be able to customize buy with confidence.Happy Adventuring Friends

Perfect for DnD with a design that can be used and fitted into really any fantasy TTRPG. I was really impressed with the embossed almost metallic mural look. The screen feels high quality and it comes with a travel case to keep the detail intact if you need to quickly shove it into a backpack. The smell was very strong when it was first unpacked but the smell dissipated after a day or so, no worries there! Overall the build quality is high, detail is immaculate and it's large enough to fit most table set ups. Cannot recommend more

This Dungeon Master's (DM) / Game Master's (GM) Screen is great. I only recently started playing Tabletop RPG games because my kids all expressed an interest in playing Dungeon's & Dragons. They at the time were 13, 12, and 6 and none of us had ever played before. or knew what to do. Due to ages and unfamiliarity with the rules I decided I would have to be the DM. We enjoyed game play but we quickly discovered that it involved a lot checking and rechecking rules and spells and process in the books which was taking a lot of time, especially since we usually play only once a week to once every other week... just enough time to forget most of the rules.Enter this screen. It obviously gives me a physical screen so they can't see everything going on behind the scenes which is practical but I wonder if it might have been better to make it a landscape orientation as opposed to portrait as it's tall enough to also block my view of the table. My kids like the visual aspect of using maps and miniatures but this is tall enough that it blocks my view and I must stand up to look over it to see the table. It does have a total of 8 pockets but, effectively I would really only use 4. If it is being used as a screen then 4 face the table and 4 face the DM. Still, 4 pockets are enough to hold a lot of information.The pages come with one side geared towards pathfinder rules and other towards D&D 5e. I can't attest to the usefulness of the pathfinder sides as we've no experience with pathfinder but the sheets for D&D were pretty great. What's nice is that as we continue to play and the rules become easier and what info I want in front of me changes it's easy to change out the sheets. Of course the original sheets are larger than a standard paper which makes any sheets you create to put in it look silly because it doesn't fill the space the right way.

The inserts it comes with are completely useless to me. Reference-sheets are cool and for someone new to D&D it might be nice, but I’m not new so they aren’t. Some people like to make to make things awful for themselves and DM more than 4 players so it’s frustrating that the player reference sheet only supports 4. I do not see myself ever using these sheets ever, I’d rather make my own. Save for the “tome” covers, those look nice and I was expecting those to be baked onto the screen itself. To see that EVERY side is customizable is very nice. Especially when you can use dry erase markers.That said, the dimensions of the sleeves are also strange and while the given inserts fit them just fine (after some effort), regular letter-size (8.5”x11”) paper will leave room on the sides while exactly hitting the top of the sleeves, which looks very strange. If you can somehow get something closer to 9.5” x 10.5” it might look significantly better. But I find it ironic that despite having sleeves like this they aren’t that well-suited to the most common printer dimensions. It’s not as friendly for the DIY crowd as you’d think.Oh and you have to fold this up in a VERY specific order. It does not like being folded the wrong way and you’ll know when you get it wrong within seconds of trying to pack it up. To be honest though, these are nitpicks at best. It’s still the best I could find and is legitimately good for the price.If you do like doing DIY stuff and want a similar “vibe” of fantasy-styled paper for your own inserts, look into Homebrewery. If you are willing to learn its specific flavor of markdown you can get inserts that look VERY close to these but with more customizability.

War als Geschenk für unseren GM gedacht. Hat sich sehr gefreut. Sieht sehr gut aus und fühlt sich hochwertig an. 4 Fächer für individuelle Inlays im A4 Format, also perfekt.

Es ist groß und breit genug, damit wir als Spieler mal nicht ausversehen rüberschauen können 😂

It's a bit taller than the wizards of the coast official ones in order to hold the standard printer sized inserts but that isn't a big deal the screen itself seems similar to the binder material from an office supply store. The front has a classy oiled bronze look and the design looks pretty nice. The inserts for it are very useful and have most of what you would need for reference material in an average game.
Pros:
Nice appearance
Reasonably sturdy
Convenient sized insert sleeves for home printed items
Unexpected but nice felt carying case
Cons:
Strong smell similar to a new pool toy out of the box.
Inserts can be a little dense at times.
Would have liked the case to be magnetic closure instead of velcro.

Ultimately I think this is an improvement over the cardboard ones you can get from wizards of the coast and it is a design that will work regardless of what modal you may be running un like some of the WotC screens.
