I also hope it is landscape. I don't roll with portrait screens anymore; it's like GMing behind a wall.

 

 

 

If this photo is to be taken as the final product, it isn't.

As much as I didn't like the art on the Saga screen, I agree that the landscape orientation was very good - more room for papers and books. Still, FFG makes such quality stuff, I'm expecting to be pleased with this screen…

Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

If it's not chipboard like the WHFRP 3e screen it's no good :)

Does anyone here own a GM screen produced by FFG?  Could be indiciative of quality we expect to see.

like doc weasel i have the WFRP3 screen which while sturdy was a complete waste of time, a lot of the information was the absolute basics that anyone should have in their head after 10 minutes of game time. the picture linked earlier on coolstuffinc does'n't bode well. the inside of the screen shows a list of descriptions about the faces of the dice, which will be locked in the brain of everyone at the table within a few rolls.

I agree, this is what made me think it might not be very useful in terms of data provided. I think I'll wait to see one before I get one (don't see doing so at this time, but maybe they'll surprose me).

I do, for Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Black Crusade and Only War. They have all, generally, been of exceptional quality, and have survived the years (in the case of the DH and RT ones) of GMing I've subjected them too.

If you're worried about how sturdy and long living they'll be, I'd stop worrying, since they're very well made.

Of course, I dunno what the information on them will be, but I know the 40k ones were really good with that, too, especially the Only War one.

I do not speak in any official capacity for FFG, all my posts are my own opinion, speculation, etc.

I have all the 40K ones, and they are outstanding!

I would imagine the dice will be included on this one, like the Warhammer 3rd, as they are similar games (due to the dice).

The dice being included in the GM Kit? Not according to the product page.

Previous games: Buried, but not Forgotten and Underworld Rising.

Check out both podcasts at Reckless Dice.

the 40K series ones are VERY nice. Screen itself is like the cover of a hardback. 4 panels, unfortunately portrait. Content was useful.

I've got the RT one, BTW. My DH one is the BL version - 5mm fiberboard.
