Our distributor is expecting to get more, but can't say when they might arrive.Should I wait for them to get in stock, or should I order now to beat the rush?
Thanks!
We don't charge you until it ships, so you can do whatever works best for you! I'd just suggest that if you order other items at the same time, don't hold them to ship together.
Vic,
Do You know if it is possible to write on the pockets of this DM screen with Sharpies, wet or dry erase (and still get it clean again) like with the Flip Mats?
If so then I'll be placing an order. If not, do You know of one that does use such a surface? If not, any chance of Game Mastery/Paizo making one? :)

I don't know... I'll see if Jacob can find out, but I suspect that info will be hard to turn up.

Good question!
Alright this took some doing but I called Studio 2 and asked.
They weren't too sure themselves. They seem to think that if the marker is water based that it should be alright. The vinyl it is made off is the same vinyl that you would find in say, a 3 ring binder. Ya know those sheets you can slip a piece of paper into? That stuff.
So, thats the word from the horses mouth, albeit slightly second hand.
I don't know of one that does use such a surface as you are looking for.
As far as us making one, well, I think we are pretty focused on other things right now.
Hope all of this helps out!
Cheers!
You can and it will wipe off, but unless you're using a light-colored paint marker you won't see it easily against the black background.
Well I was thinking I'd put a blank sheet of parchment-style stationary in the player-side pockets so that the markers would show up clearly. Speaking of which, what type of markers did You test successfully?

I just tested with a Crayola washable children's marker (what I use on my vinyl battlemat), a Staedtler Lumicolor water soluble transparency marker, and a "permanent" PaperMate felt tip...they all wiped off with a dry tissue.
Any idea when this will be off of backorder? I have had one on order since Feb 17, 2009. Do I need to cancel it altogether?
Since this is officially the BEST DM SCREEN EVER MADE, I thought I would check with the Publisher, Studio 2. Here is what they e-mailed me:
It is out of print currently and we do plan on reprinting it in the near future. Our previous supplier has gone out of business and we are locating a new supplier.
I guess this news is both good and bad. I was really hoping that Paizo would be supporting this screen. The drop in inserts are so useful, and it would allow them to customize the screen for each Adventure Path. On the plus side, as long as the DM Screen is also a PDF, this will be easy for me to utilize it and customize accordingly.
I stopped by my FLGS today and noticed that they had one of these in stock. Although I already have one, because of their rarity, I bought it. The odd thing about this though is that it has inserts for "The Edge of Midnight".
I did a Google search and found that Paizo apparently has these in stock: GM Screen
The picture on Paizo's page might lead one to believe that it is a vertical/portrait screen, however it is actually a horizontal/landscape one.
(On a side note, for those that like vertical screens, I noticed that my FLGS also stocks a 4-fold one: 4-Fold screen
It's not a bad screen, but I don't like sitting behind a wall, so I still think the "World's Best GM Screen" is the one sold by Studio2 Publishing as either the Savage Worlds Screen or the Edge of Midnight Screen.
Sorry guys but I have no idea when this will be back in stock and neither does our distributor.
Jeff, my link in my post above yours, links to a "Edge of Midnight" screen, which is the exact same landscape customizable screen published by Studio 2. The order page doesn't show it as being "out of stock". Do you have any of the Edge of Midnight Screens in stock?
