New GM Screen Design Pt. 4 (this thing is dangerous)

[@Pitcairn77]

The transition animations are what instantly earns my like. Dougs hat last time, now the slap... whoever is responsible doesn't even need a raise bc they're already gonna be sitting with a smug look on their face, knowing that they are awesome!

[@shawnkirsch]

yea the party transition was sick

[@andreavenomus]

Very true! Also the Snoop Dogg one!

[@j_b_9381]

Agreed! I 98% of the time hit the like at the end. That over the screen slap transition got an instant like. Very good editing lately going on.

[@Sethoria]

Indeed !

[@sarahmoore7483]

loved that transition. But also give 'em a raise.

[@JBird_TheWord]

if you're planning on plugging the bungholes already, use that space for your recessed rubber footing. eliminates the need for creating an additional process of drilling recessed holes for the rubber feet

[@HydrocClaw]

This is a good idea.

[@screwitidontgiveashi]

They gotta get one on the ends of the outer panels just because the force might not be strong enough at the magnet bunghole to keep it from rotating.

[@rowanl2115]

I love the veneered panel more then the solid. The solid looks like a generic cabinet door, the veneered looks like it came from wyrmwood.

[@musicnerd1023]

I can see what Jason was saying about them being "sloppy", but even the camera had to zoom WAY in to see it. From more than a foot away it looks better for the contrast. I'm pretty sure if you looked at anything THAT close you're gonna start to see issues.

[@ninjasownpirates]

The only thing I could think about once they started talking about frame-in-panel solutions what cabinet doors. It just felt weird and I couldn't see why they would want a DM screen to look like a cabinet... It felt so generic I might as well buy some doors at Home Depot and slap some hinges on them. The veneer completely changes that and instead of looking like existing parts and designs were thrown together, it looks like it was intentionally designed that way from the ground up even though they are essentially the same exact geometry and process except for veneering before CNC. Would be interesting to see it cleaned up somehow and maybe some some different wood combos or proportioning of how much accent there is relative to the main wood

[@MistImp1]

I like the stronger magnets. They will resist random gravitic fluctuations (cats) better. As for the plugs, either matching wood or brass, the aluminum looks cheap.

[@matthewm9327]

Without the contrasting veneers, you've essentially made cabinet drawer fronts. The veneering really set's it off and make's it more of a DM screen than just plain wood.

[@jasonr4748]

Agreed. The solid panel just looks like my bathroom vanity doors. The veneer panels looked great though.

[@michaellaudani9948]

Imagine the veneer matching your class option rolling tray and master vault!

[@Hellyardsown]

[@ryanlewis4953]

[@ninjasownpirates]

Either a wooden bung or use that as a space for rubber feet. I'd be worried about the brass/aluminum being in direct contact with and scratching your table especially if there's a chance that the end grain might crack/chip.

[@patrickhaggerty8465]

I agree with Ian that it is 90% there. There is something missing, but I can't figure out what. Also I would love the prototype GM screen as long as everyone signs it lol.

[@hunacean]

I'm actually really into the look of the cherry one, the contrast looks really good. For what it's worth, I think if the bungholes were covered up with the rubber for grip that could be a nice way of killing two birds with one stone

[@xyzcreate]

I would like to see you guys play around with the profile routed into the front. I understand that it's meant to mimic the look of a frame and panel, but I think it mimics it a little _too_ well and as it stands it kinda looks like a kitchen cabinet, and I think there are so many better options.

[@VagabondTE]

Now that's a great idea. Even chamfering the route in the corners to make a octagon shape would be really cool.

[@stephupurlyf]

Totally agree! And the opportunities are perfectly set in place to expand and experiment on the design of the veneered versions too.

[@timvancolen]

Now this is a solid idea! They should abandon that look all together! Get Jiggy with it guys! Cut loose a little! Have some fun! Maybe a dragon? Give it to the firework tester, he'll have fun with it!

[@PluralPaul]

If they base the profile on their shield logo, that might help avoid that cabinet look and make the customizable insert feel more grounded within the design. As it stands, I can't help but feel like the insert contrasts way too much. If you wanna offer it, make it look like it's not tacked on

[@GWhenning]

Should go closer to the top and bottom. Maybe 1/2” from the edge instead of inch and a half. A magnetic tracker along the top would be pretty cool.

[@SimpleCuup]

The many possibilities this product can have will allow anyone to give the perfect vibe for the way they dm. The veneered version gives this aura of the unknown cabin in the wood know to have unknown creatures of the under-deep. Keep up on the great work you do and let the creativity shine.

[@Elmiond]

Instead of just plugging the holes and sanding flush, how about making the plug slightly inset and setting decorative rubber feet in that? Stamp them from rubber sheets I guess, and if you choose a shape that fits together like the yin&yang does there's little waste.. The panels don't really need to bend forward, so quarter-circles instead of half-circles is an option, and you can use a chamfer that goes well with the veneer. I'm down for a veneered set, brass if the metals are visible :D

[@DavydAtkins]

The forward pivot is for folding up the screen as shown in the beginning of the video

[@Elmiond]

@@DavydAtkins They are detachable because of the magnets, so while it would be nice to just fold it's not functionally essential. It's an option for getting the veneer to look nice if achieving that with the curve is too much 🤷‍♂️

[@Mulletduo]

Y’all should definitely make some nice wood initiative trackers to go in the top groove

[@amberj9584]

Cool detail

[@wilfredgoldenrod4032]

Perhaps make them compatible with the trackers that they’re currently making

[@CalebS92]

how would that work with what you put on it? for the KS they had it was brass that you could right on and then wet erase. If its wood you can't really write on it, and you can't get them with specific people, cause people move, characters die/retire, and then all the enemy types as well.

[@musicnerd1023]

Oh yes

[@Mulletduo]

@@CalebS92 I was thinking something with the white board they are using on the rpg tracker system, made of wood much like the RPG tracker similar to the new wizard one shown in update 3 of that kickstarter. Shouldn't be too hard since they already have those types of parts around

[@llblumire]

First of all, thank you for making it accept A4 paper, I was one of the people that commented about this on the past few videos and it makes a huge difference to my ability to use it, and moves it from an "if I have the money when the kickstarter begins" to a "I will start budgeting and saving for it today" purchase. On that note, I really like what you're landing on. I think this is a fantastic design. I agree with widening the finger holes, and think that the one-size-fits-all brass or aluminimum bunghole plug is probably the way to go over a wooden one. As for the F+P vs Single Wood vs Veneer discussion, I think we'd need to know what that cost difference is. I think F+P looks nicer than veneer, but need to see them both (with the 2 layer veneer version), and understand the price difference to decide if it's worth going F+P. Overall, as someone who was really unhappy with the original design (but only voiced concerns about international paper sizing, I was condifent you guys would figure it out), it's nice to see how far it's come from then. Also, by the way, A paper isn't just Europe, it's literally the entire world. US Letter is used in most of North America, and Columbia+Venezuala+Chile, and the Phillipines for some reason, and literally every other country in the world uses A4 paper as their standard size!

[@jjb2244]

Philippines probably uses freedom paper because its was a US territory

[@Dodger24]

For budgeting for the Kickstarter, just use something like Klarna if you can. That's what I always use for Wyrmwood Kickstarters

1. I love the contrasting woods, layer paneled deal. It’s mostly picking the woods. 2.

More wood on the connecting edge and keep the strong magnets and I’ll probably be getting one

[@teagan_p_999]

I am a fan of the dangerously strong magnets, and the overall look.

[@DarkenSeyreth]

I love the direction this has taken, even the simple CNCed panel looks really good. I get where Jason is coming from, on the micro I can see how he feels that the veneer is sloppy, however, in the macro, I think it looks amazing.

The bolivian rosewood veneer with the maple looks amazing! If you can prevent the layers from chipping, that's a really great premium option.

[@GeoffreyAtkins]

This is great. I'm personally ok with the stronger magnets -- my table is chaos. I'd be happy to see veneered or un-veneered in the final product. This is really shaping up excellent, and I can't wait to see where this continues to go!

[@safetymangames925]

I agree on the stronger magnets, i like being able to pick it up. I wonder if they recessed the magnets a bit deeper if they would still hold well enough and not pull out the side of the wood (which i think was their major concern)

[@fakjbf3129]

I think it would be useful to set them up and toss something like a bean bag at them, shake the table, push on them, etc. Holding them up like that isn’t a very realistic stress test, if you are holding them like that you are probably trying to take them apart to put them away. I’d like to see a more realistic strength comparison between the weak magnets, strong magnets, and a third version with the strong magnets recessed another ~1/16th of an inch to make the hinge more durable.

[@DrHammerr]

Oh man, that veneered version looks AWESOME! (And I personally prefer the contrasting bungs, for the bung holes.)

[@ghomerhust]

so you like a mixed bung hole?

[@dunnasoap5274]

Honestly, the version without the veneer is my favorite. But, I think I could be swayed to the veneer side with better color combos. Also, I'm team aluminum or brass bunghole all the way because it feels more like a deliberate design choice than a patch job. Great stuff!

[@D_travelingsolo]

The design is better than I was expecting out of solid wood. The shadowing helps create more depth. I love Crazy Eddie's design insert.

[@alinds1]

I agree on Doug's note of going a bit more "elegant." Those routed channels might look chic if they were narrower. Love seeing the process, you guys!

[@noahtrimble9923]

[@tonyvarin2714]

That transition though… Loving the design. Solid wood looks great but would love to see what the veneer becomes.

[@henrystefanov5873]

Veneer really makes it more visually interesting then solid wood (and might distract the distinct lines where 2 boards are glued together). I am however concerned with the weight of the panels. Besides the look of frames and panel, they are usually much lighter since the panel is much thinner. How much do these things weigh? Are the cumbersome to travel with? Can they be thinned down?

[@Nguyenoodworking]

If you make it thinner, the grooves for the pseudo frame would make the screen too thin and weaker in the center. If you don’t leave enough wood, you’re looking at structural problems if you drop it or travel with it.

[@Arby631]

Less than 10lbs with all the stuff they add I’d say. Won’t know until final. Cherry is 3lbs per board foot and it looks like they remove 20% of it in the milling and woodworking. The panels are slightly longer than a foot from that A4 size check and significantly wider. Final weight maybe ~7.5lbs

[@ep1cman]

For the bungs, I have a feeling wood might be the best way to go because it will cushion the impacts from the magnets. I suspect with metal bungs, those boards slamming together on such thin edges will crack a lot faster than wooden ones. I’m a big fan of the solid wood + veneer. It feels like a good compromise on cost/manufacturing time while still adding something so it doesn’t look like a bunch of cutting boards. I understand a lot of people see wyrmwood as a high end brand, but I feel there is something to be said for lowering the cost to entry. I would never be able to justify a $600 DM screen but $200-300 becomes much more approachable.

[@Rtarara]

I like the brass bung tbh. Something about it feels intentional and classy. I'm still not sold on the solid wood, but if the price was really good (that $70 a panel you talked about), I'd probably still go for it over the dogmight screen. I really prefer your magnet design.

[@Nickolai20599]

Exactly the same thought in regards to the solid wood, it'd have to cut down cost significantly enough for me to value price over looks. It's not bad, but most certainly not as nice looking as the other examples

[@IcarusPhoenix]

Been a shadow subscriber for a few years. Super stoked that the DM screens are getting love again. I wanted to join the original kickstarter, but didn't have enough cash at the time. Hope this product gets pushed! Though some kinks do need to be worked out. Visually, I'm not sure I like the back. They look like kitchen cabinets. You could try plugging the bottom bung holes with rubber feet. The brass hole covers looked best with that particular wood in my opinion. Might be a good idea to have a few options for buyers? I'm not a huge fan of the middle panel inlay. I feel like the cost increase for including it will push out potential buyers. I think a simple logo design or sliding panel would be better. The sliding panel could have a slot for paper behind it so you can pull out the panel to expose a map or puzzle. You could even use the slot to store extra player sheets. I'm also a little worried about the acrylic panels. In my experience acrylic cracks and scratches very easily. When you are constantly moving and taking apart this screen, I feel like the panels would be dead after only 5-10 sessions. I'm also not entirely sure what the purpose of the acrylic is. So you can dry erase marker over your material? Are you guys planning on adding additional magnetic addon's for this? Something similar to the Dice tower, initiative tracker, or the small drawers that came with the original? I know, I would love to have those options.

[@wadewatts7915]

its so interesting to see the evolution from v1 to now also on the topic of rubber feet what about using the plug for the magnet as where the feet goes instead of putting another hole utilise the one you have

[@Chepakishui]

Rubbers in the bungholes sounds like a great idea to me.

[@szerdrew8034]

Fill the bunghole with a rubber bung, i like it

[@zebraloverbridget]

They need the rubber feet to be on the outer side of the side panels to prevent the movement the best. The plugs look to only be on the inside but I might have missed them showing it on both sides.

[@Chepakishui]

@@zebraloverbridget the plugs are on the bottom and top of the panels

I don't know... there's part of me that still loves the frame and panel design. It just looks more sleek and refined, which is what I expect from a Wyrmwood product.

[@olivierlar]

I love this, also brass seems like the best way to cover the bunghole. A brass ass, if you will. The standard panels look great right now, they now have the quality touch that was lacking in the previous versions. I will also gladly accept the panels, I need a fancy nutcracker to accompany my games!

[@harbinger8208]

[@k2cr]

Honestly I'd go for any of them at this point, I don't know what the 'flush' bungholes with the same wood would look like, but I personally like the metal bungholes because it kind of shows off the magnets, or the metallic part of the DM screen. Dunno, maybe I'm weird.

[@gwynherstein5530]

I agree with you! I like the metal.

[@davidrosaschi342]

I am honestly really happy with the direction they are heading. It is really starting to feel like a great product and I can't wait to see the price point. I find the super strong magnets hilarious and honestly kinda like it as a feature because I am kinda clumsy lol. Doug is definitely right with the veneres looking amazing with the right combination like the class themed stuff.

[@solonys9775]

I personally love brass accents so I would use brass plugs if I were making this. I would also say continue to use the heavier magnets but put a slightly larger outside wall to prevent the magnets from blowing out the end grain; the stronger magnets should be able to still attract despite the thicker walls around them.

[@swiftythegathering]

Honestly, this insight into the design process is so cool! Like I saw it for the Hexxy Time stuff, but as far as I could tell, it basically started out 90% of the way done and we got to see the last 10%. With this, seeing the evolution from inception to each step of the way has been super awesome to see!

Damn it, you guys are winning me over from 'Frame-and-Panel' to the solid wood option...id like to see the F+P prototyped a little bit, just to see how a more developed version compares...but i definitely could see myself satisfied with these solid wood options with the veneer. Just need to get the wood combination and colors correct and work out the bugs. I see myself needing two center panels and 2 sides

[@NoNameNinjaa]

I agree with Lord here, I want to see both options, Solid wood looks good, i agree with jason on the siding and the lines not being crisp (not a woodworker, not sure how possible it may be to fix that slop) Love the clean edges, love the shadow lines, The bunged holes may be a good place for the feet to go?, idk how much space there is to work with there Im with matt on the side grooves being wider. and personally prefering functionality on my side. interested in a higher cost F+P variant with maybe more features somehow? (idk how easy that may be with magnets inside and all, i would thing the top frame would need to be thicker or the center panel smaller in order to support the magnet installs, (this i think would also allow for parallel processing of parts possibly cutting down on over all processing time, cutting the costs just a little bit in that sense.)

[@d_dave7200]

Feedback: 1. I want to see development on frame and panel too. It's not a fair comparison if both approaches don't get the same love, and Doug has been pushing solid wood hard. I especially want fancier frame-and-panel with embellishments. I know it'll be expensive. I don't care. At least as a Masterwork option with all the bells and whistles, stringing etc... /please/. 2. Seeing the veneers, I might be okay with the fancier, multi-layer veneer with all that dark wood that Doug showed. It does look cool. Most tempting version of the solid wood I've seen. Though if it's not a super fancy version, I'd rather do the frame and panel. If anything I'd like it fancier than what Doug showed, and it feels like you're about to scale back and simplify, which doesn't fill me with confidence. 3. Dark veneer yes. I don't just want lines -- I want a full dark veneer. Don't like the suggested tweak of a lighter top layer. 4. Stronger magnets are more betterer. Not dangerous if you're not a small child. 5. Brass is fine for the bungs. Wood ones should match, yes. Though I could see a very light colored bung on a very dark wood looking cool. Match or strong contrast looks purposeful. 6. When the design is figured out, please don't skip on innovative features like the last DM screen: rotating panel et al. 7. If you do the inserts, could we get a fancier one with a metal or gemstone Wyrmwood shield? (Though I'd rather just have it in a straight-up panel without an insert honestly, but the insert system looks fine and does give some versatility and upgradability, which is cool.)

I really like the solid panel look but I would love to see the routing around the inner "panel" be a little crisper in the corners. I think that's what makes the frame & panel look "better". If you were able to square those up a little more I think it would satisfy both camps. I also like the veneer option but if that adds cost, I'd be fine without it. Offering plain and veneer options would be nice because it wouldn't really add extra work for the craftspeople. Love the new screens! Maybe I'll be able to afford one some day. :)

[@theNaluK]

Those round inner corners remind me of my childhood furniture. It definitely needs to be crisper if possible. Though it may not be possible :/

[@PaxPixie]

@@theNaluK I'm not a woodworker but I follow a ton of extremely handy people like Adam Savage. I'm betting you could use a smaller diameter router and do a pass along that edge to get at least closer to square. At least the curve would be much smaller and tighter. The only other way to make that crisp would be to essentially "chisel" out the corners. I'm betting there's a machine that could do that on a consistent basis so you wouldn't have to do it by hand.

[@Petrosthewalrus]

The design is coming together. And IMO “dangerously strong” is how I would prefer it to be. Because you never know when something drops on it and it completely dismantles if it weren’t. Also, why don’t you use the dungholes (they are already there!) to accommodate for the rubber thingies that will keep it stable? Now, about that giveaway… yes please! 😄

[@wesleycaldwell4450]

I thought the same thing for the rubber feet

[@johnathanera5863]

The problem with the dangerously strong magnets isn't you hurting yourself. It's the fact that the wood that's being smashed together is incredibly weak. And likely to destroy itself over use. It's not an option for a high quality product. Unless they bulk it up to make it tougher.

I actually love both designs, veneered and solid panel. The wood on wood with no magnets exposed is perfect. So cool to see it in action.

[@spectyr8642]

I like the solid wood ... with how strong the magnets are cant they just be moved farther in to give more wood on the connecting edge ?

[@dungeonartist]

I still would like to see a Frame and Panel option added. I would pay so much more for one, just because I prefer the look, and the quality. Also, PLEASE bring back the rotational screen, and the 2-way Dice Towers/Chest of Holding. They were the features that truly sold me on the first iteration. Don't remove innovation, build on it. Food for thought. Otherwise, I love these iterations. Cool to see the design process.

[@darkenna]

Yes! The rotating panel was GENIUS. I would love to see that be an option.

[@nickl9939]

Frame and panel won't work with the magnet hinges, the rails have a mortis cut into them and the curved edges would have the mortis pattern in it. Watch Ep.3 of the GM screen series again , at 2:30, Cristaldi explains the frame and panel. You can see the end of the rails used for the frame; it just isn't viable with the hinge.

[@VagabondTE]

That might be an option down the line. Once they have a basic DM screen figured out then they could build on it. I can easily see them making a dice tower that works with this hinge system.

[@dungeonartist]

@@nickl9939 oh, I must’ve missed that. Thank you for the clarification and knowledge! Would still love Rotating panel/dice tower/chest of holding. 👌

[@nickl9939]

@@dungeonartist Well I am sure they might be able to design something, it's wyrmwood. And yes, those would be amazing to have back.

[@jeremyfiler5428]

Hey Jason, have Johnny or one of the druids match up some color veneer options to match the DnD Class veneer choices. You have your wood sets right there.

[@LegitLogster]

I absolutely love the back and forth feedback you give each other to help make the best product

[@TheDusk]

Love the veneer version, like the solid wood, would probably like the solid wood more in a different wood, but the veneer just gives more contrast to really make the screen pop. For the plugs for the bungholes, I like the idea of the metal plugs better than the execution, wood plugs definitely look better in my opinion. As for magnet strength, I personally like the idea of the magnets being able to support the entire screen, but I understand if that's just not practical from a design standpoint due to possible cracking. All this being said, I'm probably not going to be able to buy one for QUITE some time (millennial in this housing market, so no place to put it), so take my opinion with the smallest grain of salt, since I'm not even going to be a customer.

[@nofood36]

I like the way it looks, but I feel like it may just be a bit to thick. The DM screen is meant to be a light wall that can be easily moved if need be and from what I could see here, that seems to have a good bit of weight behind it. I know that Wyrmwood likes to make good quality stuff for the people and I feel as though there should be a lighter/thinner version, possibly using the weaker magnets. They could be the Warrior's screen, the thicker one you guys have made, and the Wizard's screen, a thinner lighter version. Love the idea for the screen, just wanted to pass an idea to y'all over there.

[@AdamforAmerica]

I like it. However I personally would like to see a two wood frame and panel. I also think Jason’s “OUT HIS MIND” for not liking the veneer. #JasonsABungHole. Love u Jason.

[@drackar]

the job wasn't clean and it would be hard to do how they had it constantly at a quality standard.

[@flintcragly36]

Loving the contrast with the veneer, and the solid wood doesn't look as boring as I thought it would. The bung hole inserts feel trivial since only 1 side is visible, from an angle that isn't how it's normally viewed from. Keep up the great work!

[@tinaherd239]

Loving the design process. I'm more of a metalworker myself, but I haven't been in the forge in a long time, so seeing people working and creating something they love is always inspiring. 😊

[@elistanwood-ford7586]

I 100% agree with these kitchen cabinet comments

[@dylanstanley5761]

It's crazy seeing how this series is growing over time. The show itself is evolving with the company that is itself constantly changing. I love to see where this company goes and a GM screen has my bid, I'll definitely be having that button ready to purchase the second it comes up for sale!

[@BIGBASSNINJA]

I love this, I think it's come a long way! I agree that the inside should be function > looks because it'll be covered most of the time anyway...

[@terumirafferty-osaki7031]

The solid wood has great potential! I think focusing on the accent color via the display insert will make the colors pop! You could also match the materials of the display insert with the bungholes! Super excited to see the final product.

[@GentooPenguin]

For bung holes on the GM screen, either brass or matching wood (accent wood if you use a veneer?) are my favorites. And I love the veneer. Sure when you zoom in, it's a little sloppy, but that's not how people look at it. I'm also team functional on the GM side, as long as it's not distracting visually.

[@NimuehNeith]

I really like the solid wood pannels, it really allows whatever wood you want to the the star without too much fuss.

[@Lam-s-Workshop]

Omg that legendary transition at 2:41

[@OzyPepper]

its been super cool to see the design process from where it began to where it is now. i do think it still needs a little something more to be 100% but i really like where its at now

[@johannfernando5242]

The GM screen has looked so much better every episode! It's really cool seeing the incremental progress.

[@TehKillerB]

Resin that bunghole baby! This design is becoming startlingly similar to the design I had been dreaming up for a resin river table style GM screen, stealing notes from your Mercer build.

[@TheAgain]

Canadian here. We use Letter sized paper like our southern friends.

[@sk8rwhezel]

I'm loving the direction this is going. The veneer looks great, makes it look less like a cabinet. Super pumped to see the next stage in prototype, because they keep getting better.

[@amandathebeebo4960]

I'm actually liking the macro on the veneer panels, looking forward to seeing what the next iterations look like.

[@youwilltry]

It's so cool to genuinely see the entire design process from the vary start, seeing every hiccup really shows why stuff like this takes so long

[@matthewkennedy9260]

honestly, my draw to wyrmwood has always been the craftsmanship in each piece. the modularity has somewhat always been there from the beginning because you make each movable interactable piece high grade.

[@dreamparasite9965]

It's really starting to come together, I think the solid looks better than veneer, at least up close. The contrasts are nice. Also some dope editing, Doug's arm coming up from the bung hole cosmos and hitting the table. Chefs kiss. 😆

[@flamepulse42]

Love the veneer, and im with others here, use the Bungholes to inset the rubber feet on the bottom and brass plugs on the top. also interested in see what kind of functional options you all have in mind for that top bar across. Dice caddy's, miniature shelves and other such items.

[@bladethefourth]

Fully agree with matching the wood for the bung holes. Love how this project is going

[@eliblessed]

whoever is editing your videos is getting better. Went binge watching the series, and that transition was great!
