The 'Shield' is a screen used to hide the referee's secret maps during D&D gaming. It also has combat charts, tables, etc printed on both sides. This was the first GM screen ever published, for any game system.
The three shield sections are:

  • Monster Attacking / Saving Throws

  • Monster Compendium / Men Attacking. Thanks to Jeff Miller for the scan.

  • Men Attacking / Phantasmal Forces
