mummi Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 has no one made a GM screen? if so please link me Quote
AndrewMorton Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I made my own. I printed out various pages from the PDF BRP rules on to sticky paper and stuck them to some card sheets. I put images from the book on the out-side so the players would have something to look at other than blank card. Quote No Gods - No Masters

Harshax Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) It is worth pointing out again, that Pinnacle Entertainment offers a customizable 3-panel, landscape DM screen. EDIT: Hammerdog Games also offers a customizable 4-panel DM screen.

Jason D Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I strongly encourage folks to email Dustin and express an interest in such a project. A landscape 3-panel GM screen combined with a packet of tables, character sheets, etc. would be invaluable. Quote
Sunwolfe Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) ...and ordered the three panel screen from Studio Two Publishing. On the GM side, screen one, I was able to cram the Major Wounds, Attack & Defense Matrix and home-brew expanded Melee and Missile Hit Locations charts. On the GM's center screen I fiddled and fit Movement Rates, Sailing Speeds, Rowing Speeds, Average Sailing Speeds, Terrain and Weather Modifiers, Characteristic Rolls Summary, Inns Taverns and Eatery Pricelist, Special Success Summary, Melee Weapon Attack Fumble Results and Melee weapon Parry Fumble Results charts. Some of these are not in BRP but are from RQ III and SB5. A couple like the Characteristic Rolls Summary and Special Success Summary are simple summaries I wrote and chart-ified :thumb:. The characters in my campaign travel...a lot...hence the emphasis on travel charts. On the right side I continued with the fumble charts and it sports Missile Weapon Attack Fumble Results, Natural Weapon Attack Fumble Results, expanded Arcane Effect and Fumble Results and a Combat Modifiers chart that summarizes modifiers to combat important to our game here. On the players side, their right screen sports the Major Wounds, home brew and expanded Melee and Missile Hit Locations and Damage Bonus (up to str+siz 72) charts. In the center is a screen displaying the Episode number of the present campaign and the date of game play according to three of the most popular calendars in the milieu. I also made a water mark bearing the campaign name for game-correspondence and I included that in the background behind the episode number. On the players left hand screen are teh Attack & Defense Matrix and Combat Modifiers summary charts. Player charts are a bit bigger than the GM's but not by much. I used MSword 2000, text boxes and tables. As it was a squeeze to get everything I wanted on the screen, I have to admit I wished there were four panels. I'm also not yet sure how I like the landscape orientation. To have another panel would have made room for a small campaign map on both sides of the screen, but I figure as we play, the screen will dynamically change, some things added and others discarded, as more and more of the engine becomes second nature. For that very reason I did not include a Resistance Chart as I and my players have memorized how the chart works and no longer need to consult one. One other thing I did was include the BRP page numbers where the chart information was located for quick look-up, particularly in the case of my summary charts.

bloodshadows Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 It is worth pointing out again, that Pinnacle Entertainment offers a customizable 3-panel, landscape DM screen. EDIT: Hammerdog Games also offers a customizable 4-panel DM screen. I had originally planned on creating BRP GM Screen inserts for the Pinnacle screen (just as a fan of the system, nothing "official"), but I've just been too busy to get around to it. Hopefully things will calm down a bit and I can get on that. Quote Mike Dukes VP- Creative Director www.daringentertain.com Daring Visions

corejob Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 What would you like to see in the screens? I've done some layouts with tables grabbed out of the BRP PDF and pasted into photoshop. Should be trivial to do a PDF version. Quote
mummi Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 I have made one from the tables in the brp book ... I am quite proud of it ... Ill post images of it soon. Quote
Carlos Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I don't know whether you have noticed that this weekend I've uploaded a Word and PDF version of my BRP screen to the downloads section. I know it's not great, but it's OK and I'm planning to improve it as I continue working on my campaign. The screen is basically tables copied from the PDF version of the book and pasted in a 3 A4 landscape Word document. They are inserts for the Savage Worlds customizable screen (or a homemade alternative like mine). Anyway, it would be great if you upload your screens too. By the way, I've uploaded too an Excel and PDF version of my character sheet. Quote
mummi Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 Here are images of my GM screen Here is it folded a same height as A4 but a bit wider. Here it is fully open it spans just over 5 A4's The inside And the Player side, it's all black but I might get some nice stickers etc.. to make it look more interesting but what I taught about doing was clipping on it maps and images etc.. for each quest. I printed out the tables from the BRP book and put the ones I think are the most used while playing or atleast the ones I use the most. and sorry for the bad quality I took them on my phone. what do you guy's think?

PK Games Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I made/edited a GM Screen for DC Heroes years ago, used comic book images for the outside cover and a copy of the real screens interior on the, well, interior. I used paste to stick the images/charts to a Star Frontiers GM Screen and then lamenated the screen at kinkos. Made perfect sense since my first copy of DC Heroes 2nd Edition was a photocopied copy of a friend of mine's copy, which was also bound a kinkos. I used the home made screen for years, and it still sits on the shelf behind me. I even used the screen when I got my own real copy of DC Heroes 2E and even when I got my own Blood of Heroes GM Screen in 2002. (Blood of Heroes was the continuation of DC Heroes 3E). Quote

Agentorange Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Is the Guitar running the game? Enquiring minds want to know:lol: Especially as it looks like a semi acoustic bass which is a pretty rare animal guitar wise Quote

dragonewt Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 hehe no ... and it's a BASS guitar Would that be a mutated sea-BASS guitar? (Owing to a lack of sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads) Quote
trechriron Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 What tables would everyone like to see on a screen? I prefer landscape screens myself, how about you? I was thinking of taking my hand at one, so I am taking requests for content. Like - What goes on the screen and what would be best in a packet?
