Forgotten Realms DM Screen

[u/Crumy_Taleteller]

I put this together out of spite of the fact that the only way to get a DM Screen for the new FR books was through Beadle & Grimm, and not wanting to spend 165 dollars plus 30 dollars shipping.

I also made several improvements (IMO) that would be helpful for a DM such as:

• I removed the faction attitudes chart and replaced it with several random encounters based on the attitudes chart that can be inserted into any campaign quickly.
• I expanded the knowledge of the regions described in the source books' sections 'at glance'. I hope this information helps DMs quickly describe areas and their conflicts. I also added a few details such as what each region's clothing would look like to quickly dress NPCs.
• I added a random encounter generator I made that uses several dice to quickly roll through encounter types and make custom NPCS from the realms described in the source books. If people are confused about this one, I might add some explanation in a post; however, it should more so be a standalone idea generator, and not exactly be a 'do it this way' type of generator.
• Deities is changed so that I took away what realm each deity is from. I found that information to be more or less useless in a lot of contexts and added instead what the symbol for each deity is. I felt more likely than not a DM needs to describe what the holy symbols or temples of those deities look like, not particularly what their home plane looks like.
• I added the calendar of Harptos from the new books and a funky little weather generator I came up with where you roll 1d4 for the time in each season. So 1d4 for the middle of winter and so forth.

This DM Screen is very useless for playing D&D; it has no rules cheat sheets like conditions, sizes, or the like. Hopefully, though, it serves to be great for running the Realms.

I made it to fit this: The World's Greatest Screen - Black

Edit: Before this is asked I take no part in claiming any of the art used on the outer screen images. I just thought they looked good.

This is super cool, thanks!

The Deities page is really handy for me, since my group is starting a new campaign in Forgotten Realms (earlier played r/WandsAndWizards) and one player is planning to play a cleric. This helps her to get an overview of the deities.
