GMScreen vs. Star Wars screens

By bsmith23, in Genesys

I have all 3 Star Wars screens. How does the Genesys one compare as far as information?

I've outlined what is and isn't on each screen below. Besides that, the typeface on the Genesys GM Screen is a heavier weight (slightly more bold) than the typeface used on the Star Wars GM Screens, making it (to my eyes) more readable at the same distance. The Genesys GM Screen is also landscape rather than portrait format, which I quite like. I find the Star Wars GM screens too tall for use at the table. They create a feeling of separation from the players that I don't like.

Only on the Genesys Screen

  • Spending Results in Social Enctounters
  • Difficulties of Social Skill Checks Based on Group Size
  • Social Skill Interactions

On all of the Screens

  • Difficulty Levels
  • Modifiers for Ranged Attacks
  • Item Qualities / Weapon Qualities
  • Ranged Attack Difficulties
  • Spending Results in Combat Encounters
  • Actions and Maneuvers
  • Medicine Check Difficulty
  • Critical Injury Results

Only on the Star Wars Screens

  • Symbols and Dice (with pictures)
  • Ranged & Melee Weapon Tables (setting specific)
  • Vehicle Critical Hit Results
  • Silhouette Comparison
  • Damage Control Difficulty
