Quick heads-up on landscape CK screen!

Okay, so things have been progressing very well, if a bit slowly, on my landscape CK screen. InDesign has turned out to be relatively easy to use so work is coming along nicely. I have the first panel done, and it contains the following info:
Saving Throws
Attribute Modifiers
Attribute Checks
Vision
Encumbrance
Starting Gold
Currency Exchange
Experience Point Progression for all classes

I tried to have each panel have a theme or purpose. The first panel's theme is general rules you might need while adventuring. The second panel will probably be combat-related with all of the different things you can do during combat, etc. The third will probably be a large table of all of the different weapons and armor from the 4th printing PHB.

I haven't decided whether or not to make it a quad-panel or tri-panel design. If I make a fourth panel, it might have optional stuff like the ever-popular potion miscibility table, weather, etc. I think I may just KISS and keep it three, but I would like to squeeze that potion table on there as it was a classic. Any input from you guys would be great! I'll try to get a pic of the first panel up later on tonight.

CK screen is finished!

Okay, so I finished my version of the CK screen. It weighs in at four landscape-format panels. Here is a breakdown of what is on each:

Panel 1:
*Saving Throws

*Attribute Modifiers

*Attribute Checks

*Vision

*Damage Types (Falling/Subdual)

*Encumbrance

*Hit Points (Negative HP effects)

*Experience Point Progression for all classes
Panel 2:
*Combat Sequence

*Unarmed Combat

*Combat Maneuvers

*Combat Modifiers

*Combat Movement

*Turn Undead

*Spell Resistance

*Types of Poison

*Cost & Poison Effects
Panel 3:
*Provisions/Lodging

*Helms

*Armors

*Shields

*Weapons
Panel 4:
*Missile & Ranged Weapons

*Equipment
Now I just need to find a way to construct a cheap DM screen that is landscaped. I guess I could always just tape or clip them to my 4e DM screen...

Updated: Tightened up the tables for spacing and fixed a few typos.
