Sorry Guys, but I can't seem to find my way back to Travellers Ck Screen. The old link doesn't work anymore. Could someone shoot me a link that works?

PM me with your email address. I'll send you a copy. It seems the server I was using has gone down for the count.
Good thing I made sure I backed up everything, but I wonder how long it's been since my site went kaput.

This sounds interesting. I looked at the ones linked above, and they're just regular screens. If the OP is referring to the more recent style of landscape-style inserts, and some exist for C&C, I'd also be very interested in them.

Frost, that link works, but that screen has a couple of errors which I addressed in a later edit of the file, plus that file I believe is missing the OGL which the current screen has.
Kurgan, landscape screens exist, but not from me. I will NEVER do a landscape screen.

Ah, I just love the concept. Best thing Pinnacle ever created. I'm tall, yet despite my height I still always had to pick up and move a traditional type screen when I had to see the table or do something on the other side of it, which would reveal whatever I had sitting open behind it. I know not everyone likes the format, but for me it just proved to be extremely functional (plus I love being able to swap-out inserts depending on which game I'm playing). I've seen some knock-offs from other companies now that are the traditional tall style and use inserts, so at least everybody's happy.
Who makes landscape C&C screens?

I like landscape screens too.

Sweet. Thanks for the link.
The inclusion of an Intoxication table (from Tales from the Floating Vagabond; one of the all-time greats) is cute. However, I see one flaw in that. The more drunk one gets, the more it diminishes certain stats. Ok, fair enough, but it includes Charisma. Now, you're probably thinking that makes perfect sense, and it does after a fashion. However, it doesn't take into account
what kind of drunk someone is. A typical "mean drunk" would certainly lose CHA. Actually, most types would. But there are exceptions, like the pleasant drunk, who wouldn't have their CHA affected at all. And the "jolly/happy drunk" would actually gain a temporary
increase to CHA (but after sobering-up would not only lose that, but be humiliated at the memories of being so uninhibited in public). I'm a man who knows his lushes.
Anywho, now we've just gotta find a decent landscape-style graphic for the front-center panel.
