DM screen

I'm starting to play DnD again, and among the other challenges including the rule
changes from 3.5E to 5E),and a new group, I'm also DMing, at least for a
little while. I'm starting out with the written adventure 'Mines of
Phandelver', which means I have to have a few things handy as reference
materials, as I'm nowhere near as immersed in the setting as I would be
had I written the setting, which means I'm planning on using a DM screen
for the first time.

In the past I've had a laptop available, for looking up rules and as a
bit of a screen, but the transition to tablets means it's more practical
to use one of those as a rule supplement, and minimises clutter on my
desk. The DM screen is merely to prevent accidental glances at my notes,
and to keep all of my stuff together between sessions, and potentially
conceal dice rolls if need be to keep characters alive, or increase
tension.

Requirements

- folds and stores all the session info
- usable at a 2 page spread
- holds 3-4 A4 pages of notes
- not too high/able to be seen over/knocked flat, I hate DMs that seem apart from the table.

Execution

• I've got a pile of old 1980s Encyclopedias, which I've used for a variety of purposes, and the cover is perfect for this task.
• I removed the pages of the book, leaving the covers and title pages.

• To give the magnets something to stick to, I glued magnetic plates between the title page and the cover,

• The magnets hold papers, my ruler and other things in place as necessary
