GURPS GM Screen Format

Ah_Ftagn · 06-18-2015, 09:46 PM

I was looking at the GURPS GM Screen, and I wonder if it's landscape or portrait format for each page.

I'm planning on using it with this: http://hammerdog.com/twgs/

and thus need to know it's dimensions and format.

They are portrait. Although, if you're stuffing a generic GM screen with your own inserts, you should just get the format you want, and make your own sheets to stuff into them.

It's portrait.

I have the PDF GM Screen, PDF books... using a laptop is faster, easier and less clutter on my GM table. I tried going all analog again, but it didn't work.

The PDF version of the GM screen would work well on a television (interposed between you and players). :)

As others have said, they're Portrait. However, if you prefer Landscape and your eyesight is decent I'd suggest printing two pages per sheet, giving you a landscape format. Since this gives you more pages per panel you may have some extra room in the screen you're looking at to fit extra tables you might want to include, such as Alternative Spell Critical Failure Tables from GURPS Thaumatology, the Awe & Confusion table from GURPS Powers, an advanced Hit Location Table, etc.
