Custom DM/CK/GM screen

Due to a conversation here in the forums with WSUJ Steve, when I was at Wal Mart earlier today, browsing the store while getting a new tire installed as well as an oil change and filter. I spotted the back to school sale section and recalled Steve mentioning using a 3 ring binder as a screen. So I went over and checked out their 3 ring binders, and found one just shy of $8 that I think works great. I put two sheets inside the exterior cover sleeves, and so far I have used only 1 of the 4 interior pockets, and in the 3 rings I have put my 70 sheet note pad that I am currently using for my Aces and Eights game notes.

If I wanted to make the exterior into 4 panels, I could do so with the purchase of a second one, but right now, I see just this single binder working great for most games I currently run, or plan on running.

The World's Greatest Gm Screen from Hammerdog Games is superb - cheap for the utility!

I could buy a second binder, and have even more utility for like $16.00 for the two. Plus I can still DL any inserts they have, that are useful to me. The only thing they have on my using two 3 ring binders is if I preferred landscape, which I don't.

Nothing wrong with hammerdog, I am just saying I can get a good GM screen for much cheaper, and arguably more pockets, etc... Heck, with the 3 ring binder part, and some sleeve protectors, I can have whatever rules I want handy. So in combo with the 4 pockets on the inside, the external "sleeves" on the outside for me to slip player info into, I am just saying you can get very functional 4 panel GM screens for about half the cost. Or if you run simple games, and only need 2 panels outside, 4 pockets inside, plus the 3 rings, for $8.00.

Its all about choices/options.
