I just purchased my 3e RL DM screen and I wanted to know if I can still use it with the 3.5 upgraded version of RL?

HvF,

You in my DM masters group(Not the general one I have in my sig either.)? If not get your behind in there!-------->[b]MASTERS ONLY!.. WE WORSHIP THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE![/b] Saying that you would be an asset to the DM guild is an understatement!

I think the changes to Innuendo and Wilderness Lore are the only things. All else is the same.

Personally, while it's pretty enough I'll probably end up making my own GM screen when the time comes, as there will probably be notes and tables I'll want that aren't on there (I don't really need the divine domains for instance-- those'll be in the writeups of the cleric characters).

It can be used. 3.5 is not as different as people try to make it out to be. It is basically 3e with clarifications.

Nov 10, 2003 15:56:34 Probably as the Ravenloft screen is mostly useless filler anyway. I was heavily dissapointed by its lack of useful charts and information.
The charts from the Campain setting were nice to have handy but sicne it didn't include ANY non-Ravenloft tables or information I had to use a second screen so I didn't have to flip through books constantly.

Now I just put the Ravenloft screen in front of this one I got free from a Dragon mag to keep the atmophere.

The 2e RavenLoft screen was very helpful. I wonder what is going on with 3e? All look no filler?

For the most part, no-- the books are generally full of crunchy goodness (especially the Gazetteers). I think the GM screen, like Secrets of the Dread Realms, was a bit of a misstep.

Everyone has their opinions. I guess that was yours. The gazette was ok. But as far as the other books.....I just upgrade 2e stuff.

Nov 10, 2003 22:19:36 Since SotDR is being shuffled out from the Gazetteers I'm hoping they re-do the Screen for 3.5. I'm sure they'll do waaaay better the second time round. Fingers crossed.
