Doesn't appear that TSR ever produced one.  Am I wrong?  If not, anyone aware of any third party custom screens for BECMI (well, really, I guess just the BE part of it ... not too interested in the CMI portion).

About to start up a Moldvay ruleset campaign... was considering creating my own custom screen out of plywood with brass hinges and all, but ... tough to get hinges screwed to the wood.  Thought about bolting them, but it makes for a larger project than I really wanted, plus it will probably never fold down in that case.  Other thought was to take 10x12 sheets of stiff cardboard and use sheetprotector pockets to put in tables/info, and packing tape the joints to make "hinges."  The tape should have pretty good durability, I'd think.

Interested in any thoughts/experiences.

Are either of these something?  I don't know BECMI stuff, so I just took a quick look...

ah HAH.  I figured if it existed, somebody here would know.  Sweet.  Too bad those products look like azz.  Maybe I'll just clip sheet protectors to my AD&D screen.

Wasn't there a screen for the master rules?  I seem to remember seeing a DM and Player screen with the Master Rules cover.

I've been thinking of making one up. I would probably have it laser printed on cardstock then have graphics silk-screened on the outside... using some Erol Otus and the like b&w art.

The Challenger Set Screen has tables that are not complete agreement with B/E system so be careful.

The AC7 is fully complient I think.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
