Well, I guess this have been already covered in some other post, but...

I have been thinking about get the DragonLance Dungeon Master's Screen... I am not very interested in the screen itself but on the booklet included. The problem is that I live in Japan and there is no way to get it except by an online shop... since Amazon Japan doesn't have it, the problem is that from an overseas online shop I have to pay a huge shipping cost... and the screen will cost almost 30$ for me.

So, the question is: is the screen worth this 30$? Maybe for 15$ is a good purchase, but 30$....... I have to think a lot about it.....

And if any Japanese fellow know about a place which I can by it in Japan, I'll be eternally grateful!!

Its a shame that it will cost so much for you, I have to say that its the most useful item in my games, booklet and screen both.....what I tend to use a lot are the experience charts on the screen, and the npc and monster chapter in the booklet....the stuff about how a monster from the MM fits into the campaign is so well done that I generally end up with really fleshed out monsters even for themost pointless of encounters

That is exactly what I am looking for on the DragonLance Dungeon Master's Screen... In fact it is the only reason for get it...

But I will not buy it... with this 30$ I can buy instead the Towers of High Sorcery...

Well, I haven't been able to find it yet... Roleplaying games are not so popular in Japan...

Heh heh...well...maybe not the paper and pencil kind. But, correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't I read somewhere that they made the release date for Dragon Quest III (at least, I think it was III) a holiday because all the kids were going to be playing hookie anyway? (I think I read that on ign.com)

Not to mention all the other console "RPGs" are disgustingly popular over there. Which I like...I just wish they were more popular over here so that they would have released more of them State-side back in the day.

It is alright. They could have entered more information on kender weapons. Are they planning on doing anything like that? info on chapaks, etc?
