We have a lot more plans for Torchbearer in the coming year. We’re still hard at work on the Middarmark setting gazetteer. And there are plans for other offerings as well, including adventures and more.<\/p>\n
But right now, we’re ready to announce the newest Torchbearer product: the Torchbearer Game Master’s screen!<\/p>\n

The Game Master’s screen is with the printer right now. It features a huge, full-color illustration on the front face by one of our favorite fantasy illustrators, Russ Nicholson himself!<\/a>\u00a0We think this is one of the best pieces of fantasy RPG art we’ve ever seen. Click here<\/a> to decide for yourself. But those dragons dare you to disagree\u2026<\/p>\n The GM Screen in action!<\/b><\/p>\n The version in the photos below is a mock-up; the final version will feature super heavy-duty cardstock.\u00a0There are a number of useful tables and a handy turn-tracker along the top.<\/p>\n Can Dwarves Forge a GM Screen?<\/b><\/p>\n Designing a good GM screen has been a surprisingly challenging endeavor. Like the cards, we wanted to be sure to consider how you would actually use the thing in play. Therefore, we tested it a lot and tweaked details that we hope you appreciate. Not only did we consider what information to include on it, but getting the shape of it just right was of paramount importance to us.<\/p>\n For example, the central panel of the screen is nine inches wide, just wide enough for you to lay a piece of paper\u2014your notes, or a map\u2014inside the screen. We also made the wings\u2014the left and right panels\u2014extra long so you can configure it to conceal hidden information to the side, but also to open out and still remain stable. Neither did we want this to become a barrier to you and your players, so we kept the height to just seven inches.<\/p>\n The Wait Is Over, the Waiting Has Just Begun<\/b><\/p>\n We can’t wait for you get your hands on it and start playing with it. Nor should you have to. We’re making the printed screen available for preorder<\/a> today. Those who preorder the physical version will also get a print and play version at no additional cost. The physical screens will ship in August.<\/p>\n You guys are the best.
