If you’re a D&D player looking to trade in your flimsy cardboard Dungeon Master screen for something a little more bad ass, WizKids definitely has you covered. Their new Dungeons & Dragons: Replicas of the Realms Castle Ravenloft DM Screen is both a faithful recreation of the stronghold of the dreaded vampire lord Strahd Von Zarovich and a table-usable accessory complete with dice towers, storage trays, initiative trackers and an area for your notes.
This marks the first time that WizKids has released this kind of DM screen/terrain piece, and while it won’t be coming out until sometime in the Fall of 2027, you can pre-order it now from your local game store, WizKids and Amazon.
Below, we take a closer look at what secrets lurk behind the screen of Castle Ravenloft.
What’s included in the new Castle Ravenloft DM screen?
The new screen is fully pre-painted and includes a hinged-opening, three-panel design with the following features:
- Outward-facing dice tower for players.
- Inner-facing dice tower for the DM.
- Six Initiative order flags that can be attached to the outside.
- Storage drawers for minis, dice and accessories.
- Additional storage compartments in the castle towers.
- Storage shelves for minis, dice and markers.
- Clips to hold notes, cards and player handouts.
How much is WizKids’ Castle Ravenloft DM Screen?
If you do want to pick this bad boy up, beware: it ain’t cheap. In fact, this sucker will set you back $449.99 USD. Also, bear in mind that because of its size and weight, shipping costs could be a little on the hefty side.
When is the Castle Ravenloft DM Screen coming out?
The set is expected to hit store shelves in the Fall of 2027, at which point it should be available from both online and physical retailers (although as a specialty item, it might be a bit harder to find in local shops).
Final thoughts
This unique combination of terrain and Dungeon Master’s screen looks worthy of Strahd himself, even though the price tag is a little on the terrifying side. It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the only instance of Castle Ravenloft getting some time in the spotlight, with the legendary fortress also getting an updated board game and appearing in a possible upcoming Netflix Ravenloft TV series.
If you’re interested in picking up the new DM screen for yourself, you can pre-order it now from your local game store, WizKids and Amazon.
