Has anyone made a GM screen yet ??
My current wish list:
* GW GM Screen
* GW Dice (okay, so I bought some Nuke dice mentioned in another thread)
* GW fiction (hard to wait until Feb for the Sooner book)
I wish they'd put more pop into the release of GW.
Besides an unmodified screen, I have one I inherited from my brother which he updated with 2nd ed. info. Maybe I should update that screen (pasting over his updates).

Instead, I used my D&D 3E screen and 3E Forgotten Realms screen.
I was thinking about putting together a really nice DM screen like what Paizo once did. I'd just have to figure out how to do it. 3 panels, each with a pocket (like on a 3-ring binder with a clear pocket on the front and back) on both sides. That way you have player info (or images) on one side and DM info on the other.
I wish I could find a copy of the Paizo DM screen (I think it was for Savage Worlds...).
I actually brought my 1st ed. screen to Game Day today
Wait ... there is a 1E GW screen?
I'm pretty sure I have one for 2E or 3E, but I don't recall ever seeing one for 1E.
----------------------
EDIT: I think I have a 3E screen. The one with the multi-colored "Action Table."
At Gencon, I saw Hammerdog Games has a similar "World's Greatest Screen" (and they offer one in "Atomic Orange"
).Some of the material linked in this post would make great inserts.
EDIT: And for the player's side of the screen, the Wizards GW Art Gallery is an obvious choice (subscriber content).

I did do some quick research and found the 1E GW screen. It doesn't look anything like what I thought it would look like, with much fancier logo and the like. Perhaps I have seen this before.
I have been working on a GM screen and it is almost done but it uses scans from the book. So i don't know if i can post it here when it is done without violating a copyright or anything. If someone knows if i can i'd apreciate a response. If it is ok I will if it is not I wont
The moderators are pretty strict on posting copyrighted materials on the boards.
To top it off, there are a bunch of post apocalyptic wall papers somewhere posted on this forum. I'm going to print those puppies out and line the front side of the screen with them.
For a DIY project, you could always get a few 3-ring binders with the plastic pockets on their covers, put your artwork in the cover pockets and then put your rules on the inside in clear sheet protectors. A bit more clunky, but it'd work in a flash.
A better DIY project would be to get yourself some chip board and attach them to each other with bookbinding tape. Then attach clear sheet protectors to the fronts and backs. You'd have something similar to Paizo's offering.
In any case, with that kind of flexibility, you could easily designate the center front pocket as the "Show what the critter looks like" display pocket and you can customize the sheets inside the DM screen for the particular encounter/adventure.
I found a copy of the Paizo configurable DM screen on ebay.
What search terms did you use, and was there only one? That actually sounds pretty darn useful.

It's a 3-panel, 6-pocket screen. The panels are landscape. They aren't made anymore, but you should be able to get them from one of the links above.
I could have had multiple copies at one time but I wasn't DMing and then I moved to a place where RPGs are not played that often. I just recently found a place to play D&D/Gamma World/boardgames so I'm happy now (even if my wife isn't...heh)
I purchased the Essentials DM kit today...Had I remembered there was an errataed GM screen in there, I would have used that.

I know I'm a few months late, but the SW customizable screen has been back in production for some time now. Check out www.studio2publishing.com/shop/product_i..., it's the official SW store. And now I return to not promoting other game companies' products on WotC's official boards...
