Capsule Review by Scott Shafer on 06/20/98. Genre tags: none

I love having my money stolen from me. At least these guys are polite, and I had some choice in the matter, but I'm still steamed at paying 20 bucks for a flimsy screen, and a terrible book.

The book is about being a GM, but its nothing special. It contains all of the stuff that you've seen before in other rpgs. The screen is beautifully illustrated-- what DP9 product isn't? But the screen is way overpriced, and diffilcult to read to boot. I want a screen to concentrate on all of those book flipping activities, like combat. It always takes too much time to look something up-- put all of the charts on the screen! Don't waste my screen space with suggested NPC info-- put that in the flimsy book. In the flimsy book put a bunch of streamlined info about creating characters-- don't just repeat the same platitudes which have been around the rpg industry for ages.

Paid an awful lot for a awful little…yep, I'm upset.
