Landscape?
The description under upcoming books says this will be a landscape screen. But the PDF and hack pack are in portrait format. Any chance a portrait version with pretty art work is in the works as a physical product? :-D

Folded, the GM screen is a portrait-aligned product. Unfolded, its width increases four times, and is essentially landscape. If you're wondering if it'll look off on your bookshelf, though, don't worry.

Re: Landscape?
How is that possible? I am confused. When opened on the table, the profile is landscape?

The GM screen is one landscape screen for covering up secret GM material at the table. It folds out to serve this purpose, but it folds back together to be a portrait-sized portable form, perfect for placing with books. If you look at the pages on the PDF version, they form one interconnected picture. This is because these are each of the individual folded parts of the entire GM screen. The other file is the other side of the screen, where all the necessary game information is kept for the GM to view during play.

Re: Landscape?
i've always wanted gm screens to be shorter. like maybe 6 inches high. its great to have the reference material, but i never use them because they obstruct the view of the table and it creates a barrier between people in the group.

I like it when they are landscape. Only 8.5 inches tall. It's perfect! :-D
