Starfinder: Screens & Sheets
Paizo has two new tools for all you GMs out there in Internetland.
Although, truthfully, I have no idea why I just called it Internetland, when it’s clearly more of a distributed nation state and if anything would be an Internet Federation or the like. But there’s no going back. It’s done. I did it. This is the world we live in today and all we can do is try to move on. Fortunately that won’t be too hard because we also live in a world where people who are GMing Starfinder have two new tools to help them keep their games moving stylishly.
First up we’ve got the GM Screen, this is the same thing you know and love (or lose within five days of purchasing it). It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it is useful. Hide your dice and campaign notes, keep a handy reference of the rules nearby (especially helpful when the two systems are similar enough that you’ll think you know a rule, and yet distinct enough that you’ll almost certainly be wrong), and have something to loom intimidatingly over when your players start sassing you as though your word as GM was anything less than the law absolute.
Second, we have the Starfinder Combat Pad, which is a magnetic wet/dry white board that has some preprinted charts on it to help you keep track of fights round after round, dunk after dunk, jam after jam, cheerleaders are cheering–probably because your players have just realized that you’ve put them in an adventure derived from Aaron Carter’s legendary battle with Shaquille O’Neal and there’s nothing they can do to stop you.
