Nowadays, people tend to use laptops and tablets and the like for their tables and charts and whatnot, right? Searchable, zoomable, taking up less table space?
On the other hand, I liked a lot of these DM screens, especially things that had nice pics on the front, establishing the mood for the players.
Should there be a new boom of DM screens or something like them?
Since i own no Tablet, I'm still stuck in the cardboard GM screen age. And I have to say, I quite like it. I totally see the benefits of going high tech, and this isn't a Luddite posts, but I I think there's something to be said for a gatefold screen. I know the arguments about why they're a bad idea and that they create a boundary between GM and player, but they serve a useful purpose. And because they can be easily made and modified to fit the game you're running, I think they'll carry on being used for quite some time.

ReplyDeleteBut I do like these artifacts of my old gaming life.
