*smiles* Don't feel bad guys. You lot and the retailer market generally see the new stuff before I do.

Part of the reason I'm so twitchy awaiting this is that I also have three modules I'm missing shipping with it. So, not only am I having to wait on the screen, I'm awaiting more C&C moduley goodness.

I didn't pre-order, so I'm not expecting it that quickly. My only concern is the postal lady. Lately she had been really goofing up the mail. Many of my neighbors have been complaining about getting everyone else's mail. My problem is she loves to stuff things into the box, so I'm worried about the CK screen.

I'm worried about the "stuffed screen" possibility as well.,

Mine came in the mail today! It's really awesome and contains tons of information. Mine came with The Heart of Glass which I wasn't expecting, but it looks really neat as well! I'm pretty pumped to use the screen in my gaming session next week.

Well my copy was indeed stuffed, but the quality and thickness of the screen withstood the ravages of the pea=brained postal carrier lunatic! 14

But YESSSS! I got the screen and it looks absolutely fantastic. Artwork, layout, paper quality - all excellent and well produced. Very happy camper!

I finally got my screen today!

Nice quality, handy tables and of course Peter's totally kick ass art. How can I not like it.

The mini mod looks to be pretty good too.

Got my screen, and it is awesome. Very useful. Tears the 3.5 DM screen to shreds.

NICE!!! As a true Crusader, you tear the emblem of the past from your tunic. We raise our swords to you fine sir.

Hope mine gets here soon. Its time to retire my Kalamar DM screen. I doubt it will be completely retired, it has a lot of great "inspirational" rerences such as names, poisons, etc...

johns · Post by **johns** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 4:29 pm

Okay - I didn't actually tear my 3.5 screen to shreds. That's Wayne Reynolds art, for cryin' out loud. I'm just saying the C&C screen tears the 3.5 screen to shreds, metaphorically, for usefulness and quality.

Oh.

Never even thought about purchasing the 3.5 screen, basically because I already had one copy of it, with the PHB, no screen could have enough space for all those tables and rules...

I got mine with an issue of Dragon magazine. And yeah, it was covered with DCs associated with the various skills and very little else. After using it a few times I found it useless and replaced it with my old AD&D screen (with the 2nd cover for the DM's Guide). It was no more useful, but it looked cooler. Clearly, my path to C&C was already becoming apparent.

I would be using my Ravenloft screen until now, but my players dislike the feeling they get just by looking at it...

Did it take awhile for everyone's screen to show up? I ordered mine Feb 20th from the Troll Lord site but no sign of it so far.

Well depending on where you live . . .

But what the heck, send Steve an e-mail. He's been great about making sure everyone gets their stuff. I'll tell ya, I really don't mind waiting . . knowing that almost always, my order comes in.

Same here on the ordering date and the no-screen-yet syndrome. I hope to have it soon however.

DangerDwarf · Post by **DangerDwarf** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 5:02 am

Like Rhuvein said, I suggest sending an E-mail to find out what day it shipped. I know mine shipped far later then I had expected.

FTracer · Post by **FTracer** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 5:46 am

Is Steve, troll@trolllord.com? If so I think I'll drop him a line if it doesn't show up Monday. I hate to bug him, I was hoping to get it soon though. Our game got moved back to the 21st so I should have some time. I'm still reading up on the Codex of Erde.

I shall pass this along to Steve and Davis who, currently, are standing no more than 10 feet away from me. ^_^

Still no show. I fired off an email to Steve. Maybe the order got lost in the shuffle.

serleran · Post by **serleran** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:03 am

Got mine today, alongside some other things I'd been needing (thanks Steve, for what you really didn't have to give... you're too kind to me, when I don't deserve it.) I must say, and this from someone who never uses a screen... they kick ass. I like how everything is arranged, and the whole debate over "miscellaneous modifiers" is put to rest (its on the screen! yay!) and most everything is right there, wham-bam! Also, the artwork is damn hooting, and Peter outdid himself (until I see the work for M&T dos, anyway). I suggest these things to anyone who wants something like it... can't go wrong here.

Lurker · Post by **Lurker** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 11:41 am

I recieved mine last week but I was on an training trip into AZ so not sure exactly how long it took to recieve. I'd say about 2 weeksish. Again GREAT stuff!
