Power Word Spill | I built a D&D DM screen with a built in display. @powerwordspill | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I built a D&D DM screen with a built-in player facing display, without using any power tools. This was a really fun DIY build, and I'm really excited to use this to run my dnd 5e games. I'm using OBS to run this GM screen, which offers a lot of really cool options for displaying initiative tracking, monster art, and lots more. I'll be using the display for setting the scene in different environments and for showing initiative while running dungeons and dragons fifth edition combat. This GM screen could obviously be used to run any TTRPGs though, including Pathfinder, OSE, etc.
