I know I've made posts about this already, both via email, in the CS forums, the website feedback forums and the product page, but at none of these places I received a reply. Though; except for the first time when I posted on the forums, when a Paizo employee (Joan) told me the issues with the files would be fixed 'in a couple of days'.

I guess there's different people working on the different products, but the Beginner Box (which initially had issues of similar nature) was fixed in just a couple of days. I would also completely agree with you if you were to claim that the issues were not severe enough to warrant a priority update. However, it's been three months.


The "Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide Character Sheet Pack" is listed under "new releases" on the front page. Did I miss an update, or did it get there by accident?


I've also mentioned this in the CS forums, but a fellow forums member told me this sub-forum was probably a better place for such threads. Assuming that's correct, I think it best if this thread is continued here. (I'll link to this thread in the other one.)

Both the Advanced GM screens appear to be oddly formatted. I don't have an extensive list of all oddities that I was able to spot (and I don't have the files on the computer I'm currently using), but from the top of my head:

* The paper size ratios and padding appear to be incorrect and inconsistent with the 'normal' (non-advanced) GM screen
* There are duplicate 'backside' pages in one of the files in both the portrait and landscape versions
* One of the versions (either portrait or landscape) has the incorrect backside image in one of its files

There may be more; could you guys take a look at those files and update them if needed?


Hey there! I recently emailed CS regarding this issue, but I guess that email got lost in some digital abyss. In any case, here's (a slightly modified version of) the message I sent:

I have the feeling some things are off with the two newly released (Advanced) GM screens, though please take my post with a grain of salt. In any case; I've purchased the two GM screens (PDFs), and the file called "PZO2208 Individual Pages" is in both packages. The 'image' (of the green dragon) is the same in both versions, where I would have expected one of them to be the alternative one that is shown in "PZO2208-Advanced GM Screen-Portrait". (I think the two "PZO2208 Individual Pages" are actually exactly the same file in both packages).

Apart from the image, and again in "PZO2208 Individual Pages", the image is included four times in the PDF; once after every page. To me this feels kind of redundant, and this repetition is not the case with the (previous) 'normal' GM Screens.

Lastly, the padding of the individual pages is quite different from the landscape or portrait version of the 'normal' PF2E GM Screen: the new (advanced) version has way more padding (both in the spreads file, as well as in the individual pages file). I haven't printed it yet, but I think consistency (with the other GM Screens) is preferred here.
