Is there a good PDF OD&D or Holmes BD&D DM Screen out there in the ether? I've got a stunning set of images for the outside of my Hammerdog screen but need some relevant content to populate the side that faces me (as the DM). Any help is much appreciated!

Just use the Ref Sheets from OD&D and you'll be set... I tend not to hide behind a screen and only occasionally make secret rolls (more often than not, I make those rolls for the sake of dramatics and not for any particular reason other than to keep the PC's on their toes).
I saw a snapshot of the game that Gary Gygax played in his home this past January or February and noticed that he pretty much just had a fancy three-ring binder that he held like a book against his chest. Yep, and the 3BB laying on the table. Man, what an experience those guys had... Sad to acknowledge that the legend has left us...

I have a customizable tri-fold landscape screen and used a PDF of the JG Ready Ref Sheets to make an OD&D screen. (I'm about 50/50 on using it or not -- same with minis...I seem to be using them less and less.) |

I use my screens more to hide notes and/or moduiles from players, so as not to spoil the night's adventure  Interestingly, I almost never have (and likely never will) use minis with OD&D or Holmes BD&D (or even AD&D, really). Minis have been an almost exclusively a 3x thing with me. |

In my quest for a DM screen, I discovered and thought it worth mentioning that the Judge's Guild Ready Ref sheets are now available as a legible and legal (albeit not great) scan at RPGNow for less than $2.00.
