Arcane Ludique’s Game Master Screens are far more than a simple divider placed between a GM and their players: they are genuine handcrafted artefacts, designed in Geneva to bring elegance, immersion and comfort to modern role-playing game tables. Made from carefully selected solid wood, laser-engraved with the precision of a master scribe and assembled by hand, these screens embody the perfect fusion of Swiss craftsmanship, premium design and functionality tailored for the most demanding Game Masters. Each piece combines robustness, aesthetics and modularity, transforming the gaming experience into a true narrative ritual where every detail matters.

In the world of tabletop role-playing games — Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Chroniques Oubliées, Call of Cthulhu and all contemporary TTRPGs — the GM screen plays a central role. It helps organise notes, protect confidential documents, display important rules and focus the attention of players. A good Game Master Screen not only improves gameplay fluidity but also enhances immersion by symbolically separating the visible world from what happens “behind the scenes”. Arcane Ludique screens fulfil this purpose brilliantly, thanks to their ideal height, comfortable angle and stable structure capable of withstanding even the most enthusiastic dice throws.

Our range stands out with its meticulous design, combining medieval-fantasy aesthetics, runic engravings, arcane symbols, custom motifs and high-end handcrafted finishing. The use of wood — a durable, recyclable and ecological material — reinforces the premium character of these screens while offering a noble and responsible alternative to imported plastic or MDF models. Each panel is built to last for years, endure long campaigns, survive drinks spilled by overly enthusiastic bards, and stoically withstand the utterly unpredictable decisions of players.

To meet the diverse needs of Game Masters, our screens offer a fully modular approach. They can include removable flaps, reversible panels, slots for documents, transparent windows for rules sheets, hooks for maps, magnetic surfaces, hidden compartments to store rebellious dice — in short, everything a GM needs to run an epic campaign in optimal conditions. This modularity allows the screen to adapt to any universe: classic fantasy, dark fantasy, steampunk, realistic medieval settings, science-fantasy, modern urban worlds or entirely homebrew campaigns.

From an ergonomic perspective, Arcane Ludique’s GM screens are designed for maximum comfort. Their height shields sensitive information without completely blocking visual interaction with players — a crucial aspect for maintaining narrative flow and portraying NPCs. The inner panels can hold essential reference tools: difficulty tables, conditions, spells, monsters, house rules or campaign summaries. This organisation helps the GM save time, stay focused on storytelling and avoid endless rulebook searches in the middle of a decisive scene.

Beyond their practical function, our screens contribute a strong visual presence to the table. They create an immediately recognisable narrative space, much like a miniature command sanctum where crucial decisions are made: preparing an ambush, planning a revelation, managing an epic battle or improvising when players unanimously decide to adopt a random goblin. Their presence instantly transforms any dining table into an immersive campaign setting worthy of the best RPG sessions.

Swiss craftsmanship offers a decisive advantage. Unlike imported products, our Game Master Screens are made locally, fully customisable and subject to strict quality control. Each engraving, assembly and finish is manually checked to guarantee superior longevity. Purchasing an Arcane Ludique screen also supports responsible local craftsmanship and significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport.

In a rapidly growing market — tabletop role-playing has seen an annual increase of nearly 30% in Europe — premium handcrafted accessories occupy a key position. Players seek durable, beautiful, personalised objects that match the atmosphere of their game world. A laser-engraved wooden GM Screen is one of those iconic pieces that “make the table”: it draws the eye, enhances immersion and becomes a central element of the gaming experience. For many, it is even an emotional object, carrying memories of laughter, critical rolls, dramatic failures and legendary campaign moments.

Choosing an Arcane Ludique Game Master Screen means selecting a premium, local, durable and deeply immersive accessory. A product designed to last for years, accompany countless campaigns and become the GM’s faithful companion — guardian of lore, arbiter of fate, tireless storyteller and, at times, improvised therapist. It also means choosing beauty, style and a strong visual presence that immediately gives identity to the table.

An Arcane Ludique Screen is a portable throne for masters of destiny — elegant, sturdy, practical, immersive and designed to elevate every role-playing game session.
