Capsule Review by Scott Shafer on 02/02/98. Genre tags: none
This is another GM screen, plus bonus something, that is being released for every system. The GM screen has a brilliant Dan Smith painting on one side- a completely wonderful panel with angels and demons fighting. The other side has some helpful information on 2 panels, while the middle panel has information about the political makeup of heaven and hell, e.g. which of the celestial superiors are on the ins and outs. The painting is wonderful, but the screen is just okay. It lists the songs/spells, but I would have liked to have seen a summary of skills-- overall this game is very freeform and rules light so you have to wonder why it would need a screen.

The bonus something is an adventure "Feast of Blades." This is a well-done adventure involving the quest to find a legendary item. It involves puzzle solving, combat, some new superiors, and is well suited to beginning players and GMs. I just don't believe that this total package is worth $11. This package is another solid "C."

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
Substance: 3 (Average)
