GM Screen Layout


General Discussion


I know it’s early to be making noise about this, but... as a good GM screen is a great tool especially when diving into a new edition, I think it’s worth talking about the GM screen(s) that will eventually be produced for PF2.

What should be printed on the GM side? What format do people prefer, landscape or horizontal?

Personally I hope that both vertical and horizontal will be produced, at very least in PDF format, even if it doesn’t make financial sense to do a whole print run in both styles.

I hope to see the DC table and the DC for static tasks (climbing...) listed.
I hope to see conditions.
I hope to see monster templates like “elite” and so forth.


I prefer landscape. I have the Vertical PF1 GM screen but I don't use it because it is too tall to see over.

The things I reference most often are DCs and Conditions.

Liberty's Edge

MANDATORY for me to buy the GM Screen for PF2

Table 10-2 or whatever replaces it

Trained/Untrained Skill Actions

All General-Purpose Actions and their Definitions (Stride, Strike, Seek, etc)

An EXP Reference Chart from level 1-20 (I HATE scaling XP systems and will NOT look up the reward every time vs the Party, I'd sooner eschew XP altogether)

Common Conditions

Detailed breakdown of Encounter, Exploration, and Tactical Modes of Play

Death & Dying Rules

Spell Heightening Rules
