The narrators screen is attached to the narrators tool kit, but there are two of them, one for TNG anf one for DS9. I can only talk about the later one and I can say its not better or worse than other screens I know. there are the phaser settings on it as well as unarmed combat maneuvers and some other usefull tables.

It comes with a book, muldoon. The screen itself has some pics of ships -- rather small -- on the player side. On the GM side, in the LCARS style are the tables. I found it to be on the lower half of quality for GM screens. The DS9 one was more useful, IMO. As was the narrator's book.
Actually, in general, the DS9 stuff was pretty good.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

The only problem is, while the TNG one had some poor layout and the DS9 one was more useful, the damn Serpentine font and colors used are freaking impossible to read in anything but perfect viewing conditions!
I like the TOS screen the best. Decent layout and legible. Have to tape over the phaser damages, however.

Dunno if you use a computer for ref'ing Don -- I have a little Sony SR series I use. Suggestion: scan the screen and .pdf it. then you've got it and can read it easier.
Oh, look for the 'quick dice' program, if you do use the computer. Does a grreat job.

I have an iPAQ with keyboard but they're aren't too many PocketPC RPG apps out there that I know of. (Honestly, haven't been looking.)
Would like to use in my games, however. Not to thread hijack, but know of any?

Try zdnet.com...they're pretty good with that stuff. PocketPC stuff? I'll ask my friend Fritz -- he games with his.

All three toolkits were great. Each had invaluable information for any GM.
I too liked the TOS toolkit the best.
All three contain great charts that are really all you need to run a session. Plus, 3 screens can cover a whole sh@tload of Narrator Evil!!!!!

IMO the DS9 screen had the best info for space.
