Behind the Screen | GM Screens in Practice & Theory | Wandering DMs S07 E22

Paul and Dan pull back the veil on GM screens — what they're good for, when they're essential, and when to ditch them entirely. They compare the old-school cardboard panels, DIY screens with swappable inserts, GMing from behind a laptop, and more.
