Power Word Spill | Your DM screen could be BETTER @powerwordspill | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
You DM screen could be better! I'm going to share 10 ways to make your DM screen better, so that it can work for you! Have you bought a DM screen and then never used the tables that are on it? Or have you made your own dungeon master screen and then you're not sure what to put behind it? In this video I share what I have behind my screen. These apply to any TTRPG, but I most often play D&D 5e. The things I like to keep behind my dungeons and dragons dm screen are: scale and distance references, travel pace references, monster art, special rules (ie underwater combat), dice, name list for quick NPC names, random encounters roll tables, relevant character backstory information for the session, rules that I can't remember, and my computer!
