Stuff I compiled (net, posts, pdf, and a few homebrew things) for my DM screen

I am working on one, similar in style to the one I created for WFRP 3rd edition back in the day. Haven't had a chance to work on it the last week or two, but should have it ready in another 1-2 weeks.

I would love to see an official Genesys GM Screen from FFG.

Star Wars already have one GM Screen. I don't think Genesys will be much different to be honest.

The problem is what do you put on it? There's an entire panel in the GM Screen that lists common weapons for the Star Wars book. What weapons would you list in a Genesys screen? Fantasy? Weird War? Space Opera? If you take out the charts from that panel, what do you put in it's place?

I'd like a screen too for ease of reference, but it's funny because I don't even use my Star Wars screens for their intended purpose. My game write up is usually on a laptop (which is it's own screen) and I do all my die rolls out in the open now. For my GM screens I keep them folded up until I need to check weapon listings for something I might not have written down, or for the critical injury tables.

I think just the tables included in the book with the quality descriptions listed would be helpful. So the combat tables, social conflict tables, hacking tables, magic action tables, vehicular combat tables, etc.

I think we will see a GM screen for each setting book.

That's possible, and it would give them a chance to add in a brief adventure for each setting...

You can always make your own personalized rule and chart pages then get a universal GM screen such as found on Amazon here or here .

So I have a custom SWRPG GM screen that I use, but it's my personal golden rule of homebrew not to release fan projects for SWRPG that would directly compete with or replace an existing FFG paid product (e.g. the official GM screen is paid, but a character sheet is free; I release my own character sheets but not a GM screen). No judgement toward those who do, I just refrain from it myself. However, there's nothing out there for a Genesys GM screen (yet), so I might convert my Star Wars GM screen into something more generic.

Either way, assembling your own GM screen or cheat sheet is a great way to learn (that link also has a pretty good Force and Destiny cheat sheet) the nooks and crannies of an RPG system. If you're up for it, the following are all the things I keep on my GM screen which can be found by hunting through the various SWRPG books and Genesys Core Rulebook...

I hope it is obvious why I don't actually release the GM screen. Not only would it directly compete with a paid FFG product, it would make the purchase of numerous FFG Star Wars book unnecessary... And I like a healthy hobby with a financially viable future.

However, as I stated, assembling your own GM screen is an excellent exercise, and picking what to put on it is half the battle.

I’m a single dad working doubles most days. I really don’t want to make my own. Lol. Thanks for all the tips though.

I have a good friend in a same situation. I know it can just suck sometimes to not have enough time.

If I end up adapting my SWRPG GM screen to Genesys and releasing it, I'll be sure to let you know right away.
