The current screen (Second Edition) is pretty good for what comes with it.
You get a booklet of contacts and archetypes from Sprawl Sites and a clip
on sheet for the fold-out screen. This was probably a cost-cutting measure
so FASA didn't have to put out the cash for a five-paneled screen, but now
that the panel with the decking is obsolete (thanks to VR2.0), you just
clip the sheet over the left-hand panel, magic side out. Works great.
Stock number 7902, I believe.

Hiya folks,

I am compiling a bunch of tables for my own homemade GM screen, and intend
to include all the stuff from my house rules, and to include the additional
tables I use that's not on the official GM screen, etc.

My question is this: does anyone know of any errata involving the official
GM screen (I have the 1992 copyright version #7902).

Thanks!

Justin :)

AFAIK FASA has not brought out errata for the GM screen.

Looking at my recently-acquired copy, it doesn't look like there are any
mistakes on the screen, though.

On both of the 2nd Edition GM screens I have, the vision modifier
table doesn't quite match the table in the BBB. I believe it's
primarily the Partial Lighting that's different.

I've lost my screen since the move, but wasn't there a problem with the
grenades, as well? (Or was that in the BBB? I never remember)

I just quickly looked over it and spotted no serious mistakes, but you're
right. The Partial Light line is different, though it's easy enough to
pencil in SRII's modifiers. (I use different mods anyway :)

I checked the errata on The Archive and found no mention of errata
pertaining to the GM's screen.
Nice idea though... I'll have to look my screen over and see what I can come
up with!

The release date was "September." Which, on FASA Standard Time, means
"any time between yesterday and the third week of October, unless somebody
sneezes and delays it." >8->
