So I purchased the Savage GM Screen with inserts to use in my Deadlands game. When you insert a page it is so tight it hardly looks like and insert, it looks very slick, I love it.

But…

I printed out the Deadlands Reloaded GM inserts and there are 4 inserts, but the screen only has 3 pages facing the DM, so I’m not extremely happy about that. So what I tell myself; I figure I’ll leave the random encounters page out of the screen but near at hand for reference.

But…

I am looking for art to insert on the 3 pages of the screen that face the players. Since I haven’t found any, I tried to make my own by copy pasting pictures from the Player’s Handbook and Marshal’s Guide, but I was not satisfied with the results. The landscape format is great for gaming but difficult for layout. Anyway, is there some DL:R art for the savage world’s GM screen available that I’ve missed. I feel somewhat deceived by Pinnacle since the promotional insert that comes included says "Download full color customized inserts for all your favorite settings – including Solomon Kane, Slipstream, and Deadlands!" and right below that statement is the address www.peginc.com.

I know this is subjective, but after reading that I was expecting that somewhere on the peginc website there would be a section for GM screen inserts, organized by setting, and having 6 pages each. (3 with stats for GM and 3 with art for players). Also, the center art page should have the official logo of the game setting.

Again, I really love the build of the Savage Worlds screen but I am disappointed with the lack of official support (unless I’m simply looking in the wrong place). Any help is appreciated.

The Pinnacle tradition is to put a couple of the reference sheets on the players' side of the screen. Shooting Irons, and similar things. This stretches out their art supply and makes the screen a useful wall for the players to stare at.

I'm an open-roll person. And, frankly, GM screens usually have very handy information in easy to reference form. Showing the players that information isn't the worst thing in the world.

I still bring my HOE: Classic GM screen to games as a player, because of all the handy reference tables it has on it. The only one I wanted that wasn't there was the AV of cover.

I thought we had art for the DL screen. Wonder if it got lost in the website update. I'll check into it.

Yes, there definitely should've been art included in the pdf; the one I bought had a map of the Weird West, a preacher shooting a skeleton at close range with a Colt Navy, and three pages of a posse fighting off a zombie horde.

It also came with, like, 8 pages of GM tables!

I am using the one called Screen Insert (by Jon Woodland) It's the only one I've seen.
Which pdf are you guys talking about!?. Can you please provide a link?

That sounds like a must have. Where pray tell did you find that?

I... am not sure any more.

A few months ago (I think Feb/March region of time), I simply went to the Pinnacle store that was linked on the main page, bought it for like 5 bucks, dl'ed it, and it became mine.

...and now I can't find it. It's not in the store that's on the front page, and I don't know where it went.

It was just named S2P10200S.pdf. It's 13 pages long, with 8 pages of info (everything from shootin' irons to encounter tables in every area of the Weird West), with 5 pages of art.

Mebbe one of the bigwigs here can clarify?

The S2 on the front of the file name is a clue: Studio 2 Publishing still has it in their downloads section.

There are several GM Screen Inserts available from the Studio 2 Publishing web store. Those are paid products.

If you search for screen+insert on the Pinnacle site/store, you'll see a mix of most of those paid inserts and a few free ones.

Hope that helps.
