It works, but the value proposition is all wrong.

Over all, this item does what it's supposed to do as well as it needs to. It's a screen to hide the DMs actions and reference material from the players, and it works for that.However, it's still essentially a cheap folding plastic Signage stand. Each of the four panels has a plastic pocket for a sheet of paper (larger than 8.5x11) on either side. It looks like something you might see at a trade show booth, displaying four panels of information about cookware or something. It does the job it was

Pros
  • It was a gift
Cons
  • The customizable aspect of the screen may be too much of a hassle for some gamers who would prefer a pre-designed screen

I'll be honest I was a little hesitant on my rating here between 5 stars or 4 stars, but I will give this the benefit of my doubt and put it as a 5. The main reason being, as I said in my title, this is the best option for under 20 bucks shipped.Now that I have it in hand, I want to confirm a few things:First, it came in perfect condition. No issues with the edges or anything.Second, I got it in one day (I know this is location specific but still I wanted to mention that)Third, it comes with…

Pros
  • The four panels of this screen give you plenty of space to organize your notes, maps, and other important information
Cons
  • The black color of the screen may be too depressing for some gamers to play games with

Seam was ripped after one game. But still good.

Finally got a DM screen and based on review I went with this. After a game I had a seam start to come undone, I used glue to patch it up, but it was light use, and was not expecting it to come undone so fast. I assume this was just a bad fuse on the one I got and not an overall quality issue for the brand. But removing a star for it.Overall I am happy with the product, I added a few more charts to it for my own personal taste, and this screen allows for that option, the charts it came with are…

Pros
  • The dry erase surface of each panel makes it easy to jot down important information during gameplay
Cons
  • The customizable aspect of the screen may be too expensive for some gamers on a budget

Best dm screen for the money.

I love the design. Having 4 internal and four exterior sleeves for inserts gives you so much flexibility. This is especially great for new players as you can print relevant information for the players so they don't have to research the players manual or other sources. You can also print custom pages and have them protected in the sleeves. My only con is, just like every other binder, the plastic bindings will fail with normal usage. When that happens I will most likely just duct tape it. If I…

Pros
  • WORLDBUILDING LORE: Sized for letter paper! Just print your notes and maps, or worldbuilding lore and art, and slide them in. Place campaign notes into 8 convenient pockets!
Cons
  • The screen may not be tall enough to block out distractions from the game table

Came a little dirty but is great after being cleaned up

The screen was pretty dusty, especially in between the back and the plastic sleeves, which was a pain to clean, but after cleaning it up it has some amazing inserts for pathfinder. I am really happy with it, it feels a little cheap at the corners but it’s held up for at least a few months so far. I really love the insert for writing down the players health and initiative and AC and such, I don’t use it much because I have 6 players, but it is really cool and I will surely use it in my next…

Pros
  • Sturdy customizable DM screen, which is exactly what I wanted.
Cons
  • The screen may not be tall enough for some gamers to see over

Good DM/GM Screen if you work with it.

OK - So a DM/GM screen needs to look good and hopefully help you to organize your information. This screen does the job, but it does have it's flaws.PROs- It is solid enough and it looks good on the player's side once the graphic inserts are slid into the clear plastic pockets. You can easily put pictures, notes or maps in over the inserts, which keeps the table much less cluttered.- The clear pockets are very useful on the DM's side to keep whatever information you need the most. No need to…

Pros
  • It's a versatile accessory that can be used with any tabletop RPG system or campaign setting
Cons
  • The customizable aspect of the screen may take away from the game immersion for some gamers

Nice Screen in my review

I like it! The only problem is that the insert locations are a bit wider than 8.5". With regard to another issue that I have seen commented upon, if you use an inkjet printer to print out your customized pictures or charts, make sure you let the printouts dry for a day or more before you insert them into the screen. That way the ink will not transfer.

Pros
  • The Stratagem 4-Panel GM Screen is a great way to take your tabletop RPG games to the next level
Cons
  • The screen may be too cumbersome to use for some gamers who prefer lighter gaming accessories

Nice DM Screen, partial assemble?

Some of the pages were already placed in the quad fold, but some were not. And the ones they were were out of order. Kinda hard to get pages in and out of the folds. But it does its job and its pretty big.

Pros
  • Game Master Screens
Cons
  • The black color of the screen may be too dark for some gamers to read their notes and dice rolls

Great Game Master Screen

I love the dark green color, 4 strudy panels, great pocket room, and the inserts seem durable.I've previously used a 3-panel screen that was just too small for slipping papers in and out - I always had to cut margins because the pages wouldn't go in and out easily. This has none of those problems.The inserts provided are nice, but I design my own anyway.

Pros
  • The lightweight design of the screen makes it easy to transport, so you can take it with you wherever you go
Cons
  • The panels may not be compatible with all types of game systems

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but could use a bit of QC.

It’s really great to have a DM screen or be can modify. Unfortunately one the panels was sealed and I had to cut it in order to fit my sheet into the pocket. I think with time those corners are likely to come loose.

Pros
  • The clean, minimalist design of the screen makes it easy to read and understand
Cons
  • The panels may not lock securely into place, causing the screen to shift during games
