I’m happy to announce the release of my latest Genesys Foundry product, GM Initiative Tabs for the Geneys RPG. Patterned off my successful DM Combat Tabs for DMs Guild, the GM Initiative Tabs provide a useful tool for GMs who want a way to visually track initiative and other conditions. Here’s the product text:
This Genesys accessory provides a means to track and display initiative slots, PCs, NPCs, and their current conditions by placing these tabs on a GM screen or on the tabletop. The tabs, racks, and storage boxes are graphically themed to match the Genesys core rulebook, the Android Shadow of the Beanstalk setting, and the Realms of Terrinoth setting, but may be used with any setting.
Use the tabs in one of several ways:
1. Use the PC and NPC tabs to track initiative order, along with a turn indicator showing the current character's turn.
2. Use the same as above and then place generic NPC minion/rival/nemesis tabs on the NPC tabs, when those NPCs take their turn.
3. Use the same as number 1 and add the detailed PC and NPC tabs to track vital stats as each character is played in turn. Use the condition tabs to track and serve as reminders for various effects such as +1 boost or setback dice and conditions such as unconscious.
Customize tabs by filling out blank areas by hand after printing, or use the PDF form features to add text and images before printing.
Keep organized and find the right tab quickly during the game using one of two rack types:
GM Screen Tab Rack: Two racks designed to hang on the GM's screen to minimize loss of table space. The racks work with landscape or portrait oriented screens.
Tabletop Tab Rack: A simple rack folded into a sawtooth shape to hold the tabs. It sits on the table top.
Storage options: Assemble the included custom box to store the GM Screen Tab Racks with the tabs still in place. Other storage suggestions are also included.
Printing on thick, high quality paper or cardstock is highly recommended.
Cutting and folding is required to use the tabs and the racks. Assembly of the optional storage box requires glue or tape.
Formatted for US letter sized paper.
Use the layers to turn off the background art if desired to save printer ink.
Print using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for best results.
