Michael Alm Patterned Plywood GM Screen 

The “Dragon Scales” pattern is really cool!

I think I'm with Jason on this one, it feels very busy to me. But, I know plenty of other people who might like it. That being said, I agree with Bobby that collaboration pieces should feel different than the normal Wyrmwood product. Plus, you can make them a limited supply item

Michael's designs are absolutely beautiful on a single panel, but imagine looking at a 4 panel GM screen wall of that pattern - to me it would be disorienting. I'd love to see the veneer version because I think it would break up the pattern and be less overwhelming.

I like the corrupted logo, chuck it on there, also “last time we had a pizza party Doug stepped down as CEO” had me rolling

I am SO team Jason. I think he is right about all this stuff with design, brand, and approach. Love the Wyrmwood folks as I have been supporting them since they were at Gen Con with a small table covered by a "non-magnetic cloth" and a paper sign behind them. I got you Jason - keep fighting the good fight.

I don't understand why Wyrmwood doesnt just treat collabs like they do in fashion. Just call it part of the Wyrmwood x Alm Fab / Michael Alm line and you're good to go. The quality of the product is made with Wyrmwood standards, but the design can be as flexible as any designer they get.

the paterned plywood with a veneer so its toned down with details underneath sounds wicked cool

I love love love that you keep adding "Balding" as Doug's 'title'. It really gives me a chuckle.

That pattern that looks like dragon scale stained and veneered onto the right type of wood to represent different colored dragons would be amazing! How about a Dragon series of panels to go along with the character class choices.

I agree with Jason, it's not really Wyrmwood design. But maybe there should be a third branch of Wyrmwood. You have your heirloom quality, your MGT products, and maybe a Xxxx by Wyrmwood line of limited run expensive designs. Similar to larger clothing companies.

ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN that you're not continuing with the Class Based Dice Vaults. I'd been waiting for my class and just heard from your CS people, that you've discontinued them 🥺. Although we are very excited to get our table soon, and we're on the list for the GM shield, this was still was tough to hear. I'm new to this world and it brings my husband so much joy to have me a part of it, but now I won't get to have access to my class vault. Really bummed...😭

I'm with Jason on the look/feel of the patterned plywood not matching the Wyrmwood aesthetic, but I also feel like Bobby's argument about it being a collaboration is valid. But damn the amount of labour for each panel is insane. Even for veneer panels it's gonna be expensive!

I'm glad you used my suggestion for the thumbnail. Pure thumbnail gold right there! 😂

The fact that there were 4e books thrown on the table behind the GM screen got my upvote right there.

yalls kickstarter videos are always 10s. like i have no money and im thinking about getting a screen based on how good that video made it look. mmm its so nice. really the entire media team is worth their weight in gold

Celebrate MGT with … putting accessories on the website. Please I need a topper block so badly I’m so tired of putting the toppers on my couch I’m begging you to let backers buy accessories at any time.

I love the patterned plywood the most. The geometry of the patterns is so great. I don't think I could afford it. The veneer looks really great too and I could see myself paying for that.

8:30 "hot damn that square" joke, I mean it's right there great episode i've been lacking on the episode lately, so it was a good episode to jump back in

Your "money" is honestly where it should be. Fairly paid well treated staff and quality product with honest business practices.

I really like it. Natural woodgrain is fine, but I dig this for it's uniqueness.

I love this whole GM Screen series. Seeing the whole process from R&D to production has been an eye opener. I love seeing the buisness side of Wyrmwood. Keep up the good work

I genuinely like and appreciate a lot of what Bobby brings to the team, his creativity, character, leading the media team, energy etc. However, "who cares as long as we make money..." Well ya certainly hit provocative Wyrmlife content there lol. I think a lot of folks appreciate Wyrmwood for the style look and feel of your products, and that you don't "sell out" just for money 😉...in this case I think the pattern plywood is a cool collab! Keep on pushing things and staying true to your core! (We trust your gut calls on where Wyrmwood goes Jason!) Great teamwork yall

I do like the colors and the wood, but am a bit turned off by the cabinetry looking relief in the back of them. Having a flat board or something with a bit of a pattern on it might look better to me. But all in all I do love the initiative you guys are putting in!

There's no harm in stretching your aesthetic a little as long as you still have the core Wyrmwood vibe available. You're only broadening your customer base to those that might want a little more variety than the basic style.

3D print up some jigs. Gluing and taping all that sounds wild.

If I was spending the money on a Dm screen I’d definitely look at the pattern ply. I know it’s not “wormwood’s” style but it looks fun and I realize to some it looks too busy but I love that about the patterns. If no pattern ply I’d probably go purple heart

I absolutely loved the patterned plywood that had the black veneer around all the pieces so it looked like scales!

I love these insights on how a small business works. Keep it up. Thank you.

Although I do agree with Jason that it's not very Wyrmwood's style I think it's fine as a Collab. so many brands out there have these item's that look way different from their normal stuff in their catalog because they featured an artist/celeb. The whole point is for them to look different to have the featured person's look to it, it's a look at my cool weird collectors edition DM screen because I love Michael Alm. if it would look just like a Wyrmwood product than what's the point of bringing Michael Alm on

There's a part of me that is stupid happy that the GM screen features Eberron stuff. I'm even planning a Q'barra campaign to launch when my screen finishes :)

God why does the music for these presentations always slap so hard? Seriously who is in charge of yalls tune selection? Because DAMN!

The use of plywood as a building material is great, as a woodworking material is maybe underrated? If this wasn't put together with sheets of plywood designed for construction, say if a woodworker took sheets of varying hardwoods to make a very high end plywood and did this same thing, I would expect it to be more respected.

Patterned plywood looks amazing.

We did get to see a red bag on the table this ep, so hopefully we'll learn more about them (features, pricing and color varieties) next week

2nd fav gm pattern/colour combo. Need to pump out the patterns!

Michael's channel for the win!

"Pizza party!" Said every CEO ever...

That intro tho... amazeballs

The first time it cuts to bobby feels like the first time seeing your custom character in a serious cutscene

I wonder if they should have a third logo. The main shield for standard, corrupted for the Halloween styled, and a collaboration logo

I know this is a bit off topic, but after seeing you guys expand into different projects, I am keeping my fingers crossed for a quality Wyrmwood Chess Set somewhere down the road. I think it has so much potential and would absolutely sell well, especially with all of the different luxury woods in the company's catalog.

Those patterns looks to me like a dwarf aesthetic, and I think it is amazing. Maybe would be better in a collection focused in races instead of classes. (Greetings from Brazil!)

I like the idea of the pattern veneer, but what if the pattern was like only in the center rectangle. So it looks like a frame art piece

I’m still just shocked that Doug and Jason agreed on an aesthetic (the veneer Alm design). And yes, you all deserve to celebrate 🎉

I love how there is talk of the Wyrmwood aesthetic when it comes to the look of the patterned plywood... but despite that they went balls to the wall with a literal "kitchen cabinet" aesthetic for the final design. I love the overall function of the screens (chef's kiss) but that front side with the routed rectangle is absolutely not on brand (8 time Kickstarter with WW). If I get this I will (guaranteed) find a way to cover each of the front parts of those panels.

One word, busy ( literally typed this up as he said it 🤣)

6:40 remember he works in a mini-shed-sized workshop Jason!! 😂

I loved seeing the 4th Edition books. 4th Edition needs a lot more love. Best edition IMO.

By far the black veneer dragon scales is my favorite.

I'm still surprised that Wyrmwood has never featured anything about intarsia, it's like the patterned plywood, only with carved shapes.

I would probably get the 7:31 dragon-scale design if it's a veneer on Wenge. I think the way to go would be to drop the middle split where it goes both up and down, and have it be only down so it resembles dragon-scale even more.

I would defo get the patterned plywood veneer. It's a collab and personally? I LOVE the patterns.

Ok, Just An Idea, But For The MGT Celebration... Wyrmwood: Game Night Livestream! Bare With Me Here Because There's So Much Opportunity: 1.) It's A Gaming Stream, So The Wyrmlings Can Celebrate With You, 2.) You Can Show Off Wyrmwood Products (MGT, The Attachments, The Hexy Time Tiles, Deck Boxes, Etc.), 3.) You Can Show Off Your Favorite Board Games, and 4.) This Could Be A Fantastic Test Run... For A Possible Live, Wyrmwood, D&D One Shot OR Short Campaign, Kickstarter Stretch Goal Featuring Wyrmwood Staff and Other Special Guest, Using Mainly Wyrmwood Products, Hosted By A (TBA) Guest DM, Utilizing The Brand New Wyrmwood GM Screen & Dice Tower. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S AN IDEA

A futuristic minimalist wyrmwood logo would be a badass pairing for patterned plywood GM screens

they would look amazing as veneer and completely get rid of anyone thinking they look like cabinets

Very nice promo video

For the big celebration it could be interesting to make an ultimate mgt, the most over the top one-off version possible and raffle it off for a good cause or something. You could make a few videos designing and building it and just have fun.

Art deco veneer on black wood would be sick!

The triangle pattern is like a Norse valknut pattern, just a whole bunch of them

I mean I don't wanna pick which channel is better. I do have the bell on for WyrmLyfe...

People often don't realize this plywood is really strong! I used to work at a plywood factory in Vermont that no longer exists. They made the cores to Burton snowboards out of maple plywood.

Celebrate by opening up another MGT campaign... :)

Song: Make it Look Easy by SONNY OH!

Honestly, the 2 way dice tower alone is something im interested in, any chance they'll be sold seperately?

Best episode ever. Can't wait for my B-E-A-U-tiful Padauk GM Screen!!!! BACKED BABY #745!!!

What's the song from the promo video?

Jason’s right, it’s not the Wyrmwood aesthetic. Bobby is also right, collaborations should be exceptions. The Dispel vaults also looked different than Wyrmwood’s normal aesthetic, don’t be afraid of trying new stuff.

Break another world record for your celebration!

Saying it again. Koa wood.

WYRM LYFE 4 LIFE!

I love the idea of pizza now triggering Vietnam esc flashbacks for wyrmwood employees

to celebrate make a one-shot DnD play !

Patterned plywood made of OAK? :) I'd like to see that.

I think I would really like the pattern plywood as a emblem

Bobby is looking more like Wolverine recently..

Been a while since I've been this early. I can hardly contain my hype for this DM screen, I was just a month or so late for the first one you made (I had only just learned of Wyrmwood at that time) so I'm not going to pass this one up.

Showing love for the best edition, 4e!

WyrmLife MGT Blow Out Party!

I agree with Jason when it comes to not watering down your brand. If the brand gets used for too many quality standards, it starts to be meaningless. Say Lamborghini made a line of super cheap cars, they're not gonna call 'em Lamborghini. People would go: "oh I own a Lambo" and you'd no longer know, does he have the super expensive one or just the cheap stuff. If you insist on slapping the Wyrmwood logo on everything, at least expand on the Signature Series, so you still have an easily recognisable high quality line.

Collaborations are common. I'm not sure why people are getting butt-hurt about branding (both can be represented). It's a matter of taste in the end as to who does or doesn't like the pattern. This is a kickstarter also; which means pre-sales essentially.

I thought you were entirely against this. "This is a disaster, there's absolutely no way we're gonna build this, Wyrmwood isn't, this is an unbelievable amount of labor. Gluing up all these pieces of wood, is bonkers." I mean I guess I could get behind the veneer. Tho it doesn't matter, this would be more than the solid regular ones so it's out of my price range already.

i think those patterns are nice to look at but dont necessarily make a high end product that i would like to own.

I would buy the HECK out of a macassar ebony panel with art deco veneer!!

Has there been any progress on the carrying case for the GM Screens? Is that going to be available for the Kickstarter or is that coming later?

As someone said below the dragon scales one with different colors (chromatic and metallic options) would be pretty sweet. Match the colors with a certain wood and it would look slick for a DM screen.

I spotted the VECNA tracker.

the glue up will take forever and these will be so expensive you may as well by a solid wood screen with extra attachments or an extra panel or two.

Can the plywood be stained? Or at least stained well? Because I'm imagining the dragon scale one as a veneer stained to match the standard 6 chromatic dragons. I'm not sure how you could do the metallics or gem dragons though.

Yacht party!!!

WyrmFest

If you need a cook/baker for that celebration, hit me up.

Bobby be tuttin.

Would love to know what that song used for the launch trailer is.

I’ve been waiting for the DM screen for ages now, but the design of the front reminds me of my kitchen drawers without the handle. Sadly, this one fell short for me.

Who did the filming for all this because the videos of the gm screens are insane

Ok crazy question - can you make plywood out of the Wyrmwood woods veneers, and then make patterned plywood veneers from that. A wenge/paduk plywood pattern could look so sick

I want my mother trucking THRONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MGT 2.0 is what you need to do

whats the song during the intro for the screens? google legit cant find it even after listening to it.

Guys, the triangle pattern should obv be called Illuminati
