Black foam-core; girlfriend's black electrical tape (all used up, must immediately get more!); rusty old razor knife (good blades are at work); measuring tape (was too hurried/stupid to use a proper steel ruler).
The spirit behind this attempt was "just knock out a prototype"; so I didn't fuss overmuch over my complete inability to make a straight cut, etc.
I have a black foam core + electrical tape prototype DM screen as well! I'd meant to glue my charts and stuff to it but I haven't got around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteDang! That was fast! I must get to work on this project now.
ReplyDeleteI use Dark Heresy GM's screen :D
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love your blog's new header and awesome set of pics :D
I have a home-made DM screen stuffed into my bookshelf. It is only remarkable because I also made it out of black foam core and black tape. The 'necessary charts' are printed out on paper and taped inside.
ReplyDeleteI never got around to decorating the outside of it.
My other favorite screen is an old "D&D" one that has skulls drawn on paper and pasted to the front of the screen (a skull representing a PC death). Unfortunately, I didn't keep up on my kills so the screen is out of date, but hopefully it would inspire fear in the players.
Well, for a basic prototype, not bad. Be sure to keep us updated as the project progresses
ReplyDelete@ Stuart: Great minds think alike!
ReplyDelete@ Omlet: Thanks man :)
@ Limpley: You should post pictures of your screen! I was considering making crude marker drawings of skulls, daggers, evil eyes and fangs for the front of mine....
@ Nachtwulf: Just you wait, I'm already cooking stuff up...
