As I’m currently running two campaigns of the adventure, it’s something that will see a lot of use at my table. This is an excellent screen, and one that I consider incredibly useful for anyone running Curse of Strahd. The screen is printed on sturdy cardboard, of an equivalent thickness to the official Wizards Deluxe DM Screen. It doesn’t list all the possibilities (space requirements!), but – once again – gives a page reference.

Once again, page numbers are listed so you can quickly find the full description of the encounters in the book.įinally, the screen lists a number of sample Barovian names, which are greatly useful for any DM quickly trying to think of names for their NPCs. Sets of Random Encounter tables are presented for both the Wilderness and the Castle. No such key exists for the Castle Ravenloft map, but it isn’t quite as necessary (and would be too long to include). The screen also possesses the wilderness key and – in a burst of utter genius – includes the page numbers for each encounter area. I’ve been making estimates of distances, but that’s a minor problem compared to the utility of having the map in front of me all the time. (They’re only really clear on the poster map). It’s a little difficult to distinguish the hexes on the wilderness map, but I also have trouble reading those in the book.

Yes, two maps you’ll use extensively throughout the adventure: the Barovian wilderness map and the Castle Ravenloft map. Being able to see the maps this way was a great advantage. (I have very good memories of doing this with Pharaoh). We often used it as a DM screen – despite, in AD&D, the official DM screen containing a bunch of tables you actually needed to reference.

And that side is excellent.īack when I was first playing D&D, adventures came with a thin cardboard cover containing the maps which wasn’t attached to the rest of the adventure.

However, it’s the DM side that is what I’ll actually be looking at.

They’re excellent pieces of artwork, although the inclusion of the wolf attack somewhat disrupts the otherwise consistent colour scheme. The player’s side of the DM Screen features four pieces of art that each feature one aspect of Strahd – you’ve likely seen a lot of them floating around the web in various promotional pieces, although the vampiric Strahd piece wasn’t familiar to me, and properly displays his true nature. Their early 5E releases weren’t always well received, but, with their two main Curse of Strahd accessories – the Tarokka deck and the Curse of Strahd DM Screen – they’ve managed to put out a couple of products I really like. Gale Force 9 have been producing a range of accessories for D&D for a while now.
