A landscape, three-panel, customizable screen (this one) filled with this excellent three-page cheat sheet. All the other stuff - tables, random NPC names, campaign-specific stuff - I keep in my binder.

Edit: Uh, whoops. Fixed the link to the DM screen. Here's the link to the stir fry recipe. I haven't tried it yet but most recipes from that site are really good. Will report back.

How much do you want to spend?

I mean, you could buy him the authentic Wooly Mammoth Tusk dice... (WAAAAY expensive... a full set runs over $2100) or maybe a nice set of stone or metal dice... (Much more affordable. The Metal dice can be had for under $50, sometimes as low as half that) Or like another poster said: Hero Forge gift vouchers are good. But if he's mostly a DM, he might not need a character like a player would.

Another idea is a really nice dice bag. Something tasteful and made out of a premium material. Leather and Chain Mail are both popular.

Another thing he might appreciate as a DM is a customizable DM screen. https://www.amazon.com/Savage-Worlds-Customizable-Screen-S2P10002/dp/1930855591 I love mine because I can put whatever info that I want in it.

Other than that, a top notch mechanical pencil is always appreciated by me. Or maybe a really nice gear bag. I personally use the convention bag of holding from Thinkgeek, but they also have some nicer ones that hold more stuff... Those can run from $45 on up to about $129 depending on what you want.

I hope something in this grab bag has helped!

Nice. By the way, if anyone is looking for a screen, I use this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1930855591/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These print-outs will fit in it perfectly.

I use The World's Greatest Screen from Hammerdog Games. A lot of people also use the Savage Worlds screen

I think every DM owes it to themself to customize the content on their screen. Not only does it help you familiarize yourself with the rules, it also lets you tune the information for your gaming group. Here's my homebrew reference for the GM's side of the screen, which has stuff like Skill Challenges (from 4e), my custom Monster Knowledge rules, reference grids for the PC's saves (color-coded so I know which characters are more likely to fail a specific save - it's no fun if nobody gets to experience your beastie's cool gimmick), an expanded Travel Rate chart, and a Random Weather Table.

And here's the Player-facing side, which I've never been totally happy with - Either the font ends up too small for the players at the end of the table to read, or I can't fit the info I want. Oh well.

u/Sarlax · 4 pointsr/DnD

My screen is actually a vertical four-panel vinyl screen with 8 clear pockets (four on the DM side, four on the player side), so you can slide sheets into each one like so. I usually put in stats for important NPCs, maps, indexes, etc. And since it's clear vinyl, I can mark off used powers with dry erase markers.

Here is a similar one with a horizontal layout.

u/GenericCabbage · 3 pointsr/DnD

Here's an easy cheap one using 3 ring binders. You could always try something like a menu cover with the two folds and the clear plastic cover so you can slip easy to forget rules or character names or just a picture or something on the outside and all your notes and things on the inside. If you don't want to go that route there's always the Savage Worlds customizable GM screen. Matt Mercer has tips on what to include when you set your DM screen.

u/RattyJackOLantern · 2 pointsr/rpg

Have you already considered just releasing them as standard printed inserts/PDFs? You could make them landscape and/or standard to fit into something like this or this or this.

u/dobervich · 2 pointsr/dndnext

The only thing I don't like about this is I use cards that hang over the top of my screen to track initiative. It's not cheap (in fact it's overpriced), but I use one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Savage-Worlds-Customizable-Screen-S2P10002/dp/1930855591

It has the advantage of closing flat, and has clear pockets on all sides to use with whatever system you want.

u/Nymean · 2 pointsr/DnD

I ended up picking up this guy

and printing out pieces of this DM cheat sheet

I generally found it better because I was able to get the information I needed immediately quickly. I eventually ditched the DM screen for a laptop and rolling in front of my players.

u/DarthDadaD20 · 2 pointsr/rpg

Savage Worlds has a customizable GM screen for ya.


Here is a link so you know what to look for. Its $22 USD, so it isn't cheap, but about what a regular GM screen goes for.

u/BeginningSilver · 2 pointsr/rpg

I have the Savage Worlds Customizable GM Screen, and it's awesome. If I have enough prep time, I can print any charts -- like random encounter tables -- I'll need for that session out. It's so much more useful than the standard GM screen, which is typically loaded with the charts you use most often and thus are most likely to have memorized. Plus it's landscape orientation, so it both spans further across the table, while being easier to see and reach over.

But my favorite feature is that I can put artwork reflective of my campaign on the player's side, instead of the sort of generic artwork most screens feature.

Some other really useful toys I've picked up over the years include:

  • Alea Tools magnetic status tokens. These are basically just 1" plastic disks, maybe 1/8" tall, with a rare earth magnet inside so they stick together and can be stacked. You can glue magnetic film to the bottom of miniatures and then they'll stick to the tokens to, or you can just balance them on top of the tokens, or put the tokens next to the mini. They're very useful when you need to track who is on fire, invisible, or suffering a long-term status effect. They're also very useful as elevation markers -- I use the dark blue and light blue token to represent 25' and 5' respectively, so I can keep track of exactly how high flying characters are flying.
  • The Pathfinder Combat Pad is super useful for keeping track of initiative and ongoing effects, regardless of the game you play.
  • The GameMastery spell templates are very useful if you play a game system that uses a grid map. They're no longer available however.
  • Litko makes Horse Character Mounts that are SUPER useful for dealing with the issue of mounted characters on a map. Litko actually makes an insane number of extremely useful products, and I've used their custom tokens service to produce token sets for a lot of my favorite games.
u/mortaine · 1 pointr/rpg

As a GM, I have had this in my amazon wishlist for absolutely forever.

Also the Terraclips (any of the kits, honestly-- just linking to one). They're awesome.

For a romantic evening once, I put together a "pirate night," with toy swords, a treasure map and poem, an eyepatch, a little locking treasure chest (key was hidden in my bra-- I played both the random pirate encounter and the siren our hero had to subdue), and chocolate coins.

Uh.... might count for a different kind of role-play, but dm;hs.

u/aaronil · 1 pointr/DMAcademy

I used to make my own DM screens using a customizable screen, but I really like the new DM's Screen Reincarnated. There's not one way to make a DM screen, so I'll share what I do...

I adapted the 4-panel landscape DM's Screen Reincarnated for my Tomb of Annihilation campaign, customizing with sticky tabs, and have periodically updated it to reflect what was most useful to me over a couple-session arc. Here are the current photos as the PCs spent 3 sessions exploring the lost city of Omu.

u/nijyusan · 1 pointr/dndnext

I bought a Savage Worlds GM Screen used from Amazon on a whim and it's turned out to be awesome -- it's the same concept as the landscape TWGS I think.

I tend to put maps, images and general info in the front (player-facing) and tables and session prep in the back. I also just fold extra notes and keep them behind the "active" panels to use the whole thing as a folder, so all I bring to sessions is the GM Screen and The Noteboard. I keep dice and pencils in the bag with the noteboard. And I use OneNote and GoodReader* on my phone for the occasional additional lookup.

  • Not advocating piracy! I buy most things digitally, and anything not available that way I buy physically and then obtain digital copies.

    Edit: I think if I had to choose one thing as the most valuable, I'd go with my phone. I could run a game with just my phone (dice rollers, reference material, notes, etc), not sure I can say the same for any other tools.
u/yourdungeonmaster · 1 pointr/rpg

I picked up one of those customizable GM screens so I could put the information I need on the GM screen itself. Then I implemented tent cards. Then I blogged about it with pictures here and here.

u/notunlike · 1 pointr/rpg

I think I saw this posted on here before but I also was inspired by this Customizable Savage Worlds GM screen.

Here's how I made my pretty awesome screen:

  1. Take 2 binders - hopefully not purchased and with clear pockets on the front for cover pages.

  2. Use a utility or exacto knife to cut off the binder covers cleanly at the bottom and cut the little pockets out of the inside.

  3. Use packing tape or another really sticky clear tape to tape 3 binder covers together horizontally (the side you cut should be the bottom). Make sure not to tape up the openings so that you can put neat-o pictures in there.

  4. Take some of those clear plastic sleeves for keeping documents in binders and tape them to what will be the top of the inside of your new screen (I did overkill with 2 layers of sleeves but I'm new to SW and I'm running Hellfrost, which is pretty detail-heavy).

  5. Google for Savage Worlds GM screen inserts. There are a couple versions out there. BoardGameGeek.com might have one too. Make sure you get a post-SWD one.
u/ericedge · 1 pointr/DnD

It seems to be this screen given the three-panel black vinyl layout. Twice as expensive as the official D&D screen, but the flexibility of the clear pockets is pretty spiffy.

For even less money and with more color choices and 33% MORE PANELS, there's this screen. It seems to stand a little taller than the first screen, too, if that's a bonus at all.

u/3Vyf7nm4 · 1 pointr/dndnext

Yes, and in fact when I ran it I found it wasn't quite what I'd hoped. It's a bit bulky and cumbersome. Ultimately, I instead bought a landscape GM screen off Amazon. I really, really wanted to like the homemade one, but in addition to bulky, it's also tall. The Savage worlds doesn't have the expandability of the DIY one, but it stays slim and doesn't tempt me to fill the pockets with crap.

u/DMBuce · 1 pointr/rpg

Darn, I wrote out this post before seeing you didn't want to handwrite your sheets. Oh well, maybe this will be useful for someone else:

I use the Savage Worlds GM Screen and for my inserts I just handwrote everything on graph paper. I started with a grid of important PC stats in the left panel, DnD cheat sheet in the middle panel, and DW cheat sheet in the right panel. Eventually I redid the DnD and DW cheat sheets on a single page by cutting a bunch of useless stuff out, and for the right panel put together a cheat sheet for the Elder Futhark and Ogham alphabets.

u/Ozuro · 1 pointr/DungeonsAndDragons

Yep, lots of people build it from scratch using heavy stock paper on cardboard/posterboard. Others use laminate. Someone in another thread linked a video on how to create one using three-ring binders. You can find it here.

I personally use this DM screen available on amazon, but it is a bit pricey for what it does.

u/dilbadil · 1 pointr/dndnext

If you're going cheap, two 3-ring binders with binder clips to make a three panel screen. You can even add plastic sheet protectors for reference material!

Irresponsible D&D purchases have kind of become a pastime for me, so I bought this screen for $22. There isn't a big selection of landscape screens, and landscape binders are pretty expensive. I'm pretty happy with it FWIW.

u/Decra · 1 pointr/DnD

I got this screen a couple of years ago: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Savage-Worlds-Customizable-Gm-Screen/dp/1930855591/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511608403&sr=8-1&keywords=savage+world+screen

Its pretty neat as I can print out what ever I feel I need on my screen which is pretty useful. It also means I can change the outward sides with art themed for the campaign.

I assume you are in the UK so with the change check out https://monstermashteas.co.uk/product-category/cabinet-of-curiosity/

There are some pretty nice looking items

u/downtimebananas · 1 pointr/Pathfinder_RPG

Got one of the Customization GM screens for myself and I love it.

Edit: or the Chessex pound-O-dice

u/forlasanto · 0 pointsr/DnD

They missed the window for this product in a pretty huge way. This should have come out about the same time as the PHB. Now, everyone who needed one either has resorted to crafting their own, or has found VASTLY superior alternatives.
