I use the old Rifts GM screen.

There are 5 Palladium GM Screens out there - one PF, 2 RIFTS, and 2 ATB/TMNT. None have been on the market for many years, though various ones can be found second hand without too much difficulty.

I'm actually in the process of creating a screen for Rifts. I'll submit it for approval from the palladium staff and others here on the boards to test it's functionality.

I use a customizable screen from Hammer Dog Games. It has 4 panels with clear pockets on the inside and outside. I trim down the uncut covers that PB sells on the outside and use a mix of the old Rifts screen, notes and a few charts I created inside. Works great and is easy to customize for the game I am currently running.

He's right, I've seen and admired that screen... its pretty swank. :)

I agree new screens would definitely be nice.

Thats what I recommend. Use a generic screen and put your own info on it. Put player useful stuff on the outside, and GM useful stuff on the inside.

Sorry for the delay in response. I will see about getting some Pics up soon. Still catching up after Origins. Also looks I neglected my Photobucket site too long and it was deleted. I will try and get something up this weekend.
