I've always GM'd with my laptop, never used a screen, but I like the idea of it more and more.

I was just curious what people put on there? What do you consider essential and what has come in handy for you?

For reference I run Call of Cthulhu so especially interested in that, but I've also done DND so really just curious in general.

viva la dirtleague dm did something I thought was neat. he had folded chits representing each party memeber and enemy (honestly did not look at how home made they may or may not have been). Then when initiatiave is rolled he lines them up and moves them over like you might do with a pool scoring thing as people take their turns and at the top of the order moves them back. I mean he was not consistant with doing that but I think that was the idea.
