Yep.

I recently got a GM screen that you can put your own inserts in. Besides the dungeon map I can't think of anything else to put in that isn't redundant from the inside of the SD core book. What do you guys have in your GM screens or what do you think would be generally good to have?

Not the screen specifically, but a couple of years ago my group adopted the practice of hanging cards over the screen, one each for players and, in combat, whatever NPCs are in the combat. On the side facing the player we initially just wrote character names, but over time we started adding artwork/illustrations. On the GM facing side were things the GM might need, like AC, passive perception, etc. When initiative was rolled, the GM would arrange the cards by order of initiative.

The initiative order aspect of this method isn't needed in Shadowdark, but as GM I really like having those critical character stats on hand for easy reference.

I missed the Kickstarter, so obviously I'll have to pick up what I want separately.

You can still late pledge to the project. That way you can still get the Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur hardcover for free if you buy any of the physical books.
