Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition is Better Without the DM Screen

Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition is Better Without the DM Screen! I know most Dungeon Master's use a DM screen during their Dungeons and Dragons (game) session, but should they? I used to hide my dice rolls, but lately I have been rolling out in the open and I think my Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition game is better for it! After all tabletop role-playing games are a cooperative story telling effort, so I encourage Dungeon Masters to let go of the hidden dice rolls and come out from behind the DM screen to join your players. Honestly, there is nothing more exciting than watching a pivotal die roll happen, whether you are a dungeon master or a player!
