GM Screen 1.5: Tell us what you want!

Hi! From now through October 1, we'll be researching what features GMs would like to see in our upcoming reprint of the EP GM Screen & Pack. If you'd like to be heard, please fill out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ep-gm-screen You'll be asked to rank the tables and rules summaries you'd find most useful on the back of an Eclipse Phase gamemaster screen. The indefatigable Adam Jury will then use the results of your rankings to tetris the aforesaid charts & tables into a pleasing & utilitarian arrangement. Space is provided as well to suggest your own additions to those listed. The survey should take most people 5-10 minutes. Thanks for your help!

My answers, in case anyone

My answers, in case anyone agrees with me and wants to make a wave: [b]4. Are there any tables not listed above you'd like to see us add?[/b] A table containing a list of ALL of the above tables, even the ones not included on the GM screen, and at which pages of which books they may be found. [b]6. Are there any rules summaries not listed above you'd like to see us add?[/b] Rules for attacking infomorphs. Might I also suggest a version suitable for reading as a PDF?

forgot to add in the suggestion box.

I would like to have the stats for a muse added in. and unless I missed it, a wounds chart. I would also second a chart with book and page references for any and all unused charts. EDIT: I would like to add the "Currying REP" pseudo-chart from transhuman to the list.

A muse is just like any other non-sapient AI. They have knowledge skills at 60 and active skills at 40. With a muse being a muse, of course, I'd give it a Specialization to everything it does referring to its owner.

Thanks for the small talk. *double checks the OP again for clarity of thread.

What improvements to the currently available PDF (and Hack Pack!) would you suggest?

Could you release a file with all of the possible charts and tables that are in the various books. I know I use my home printed version of the GM Screen where I've printed out book tables far more then the much sexier printed version. Kindalas

Gonna second kindalas, I'd be

Gonna second kindalas, I'd be willing to [i]pay money[/i] to get a document which is just a GM "cheat sheet" which holds all the actual tables for modifiers and roll results, etc. Or at least 15 of them. If I need to contextualize stuff, I can ctrl+f the pdfs, but it can get rough writing or running EP and having to flip back and forth for stuff which is far apart, or across books. Narrowing it down to 10 was a hard decision. Like picking which limb I like least.

What Kindalas said. I don't play over a physical table, an actual GM screen is little use to me, and a scan of one, while helpful, is not as helpful as would be a searchable PDF cheat sheet document containing [i]every[/i] table and rules summary, and page citations for the main books. [e]Also, I might suggest that, while the image on the player side of the current EP cheat sheet is, indeed, [i]glorious[/i], the maps of, say, Luna, Mars, and Titan, would be more [i]useful[/i] to the players, whilst the big landscapes of those places might be more useful for the GM to set the mood. Or you could make it double-sided, as players are likely to need those tables as much as a GM. But that's just a thought.
