GM Screen. Your thoughts

Mongoose
Hi guys after running my first night of Conan adventures last night, I realize I really need a GM screen and a players handout with atleast combat options .

I was wondering is someone (Mongoose) is working on this or will we need to make it home brew? If it's the latter, I can work on it. I would love your feedback as to what should be included and perhaps once its done,they can include it in signs and portents or something at a bare minimum, I'd like to make it available to you.

Another thing I like, As I have done in my othe D&D game for myself is to make up cards that explain magic, special abilities and feats. It seems like adding those beyond the character sheet was easy to handle and really helped cut back on constant references to the books. It was especially nice for magic and things you ready so you know what you have and what you have used.

Does anyone know what artwork would be acceptable to use for such a project? I can do my own and may for the GM screen, but for the cards and such it would take me forever.

Thanks and I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.
 
I have been working on some combat option handouts and was actually wondering if it would be okay to post them here. After all, they give away information in the book...
 
Oh, That would be sweet. I don't see why not, rules and points of the game are always discussed. I think as long as you are not scanning pages and it is a gaming aid it would be welcome. But what do I know? :?
 
I personally would buy a GM Screen or be open to seeing one done for Conan. I have one for nearly every other game I own or run. Made plenty of use with the D&D screens over the years.

Perhaps some of the artists on this site would give permission to use their art on it?

Thanks, I just finished pencilling cool drawing from a Rudy Nebres job in Savage Sword, I have done some colorist work for him in the past and will ask him if he minds it being used. That site is a great reference as well. Thanks
 
OK, I have looked through the book and think I have what will come in handy for the GM. Here is what I have compiled as being relevant on the fly and speed the game along , obviously I can't fit everything in the book, but am tring to choose the most referenced materials. In addition to this I really need clarification on some Combat scenarios, I thnk Yuan Ti is working on that as I am not sure it will fit on this. PLease let me know if there is anything sorely missing or that I can leave out.

Thanks
