4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly good., June 18, 2008

By	B. Adkins "arsenick" (Willard, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Starting with the bad: The lack of a chart listing damage dice for common weapons is a major oversight, particularly considering that the climb and persuasion skills each get their own table here, not to mention two entire tables devoted to how hard it is to break various objects.

I give it points for being a sturdier GM screen than I expected, being made of much thicker cardstock than most screens I've used. I also like that it is shorter than most other screens, making it both easier to peek over and not being an intimidating "wall" between you and your players. The art on the front of the screen is attractive, and the whole thing has a kind of glossy laminate that will help stand up to wear.

I would like to give it three-and-a-half stars, but three isn't quite fair.

4.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars Game Master Screen Review, August 29, 2008

By	TXMommy - See all my reviews

I've been playing Star Wars RPG games since 1990's I have 4 different Game Master screens in my collection. The art on this one is excellently done. The narrow, but long layout is a bit different from what I am used to. It folds out into a four panel cover, though a taller 3 panel one would be fine too. Perhaps the idea was to let GMs still see over the screen too.
I really wish it would have told you what tables were included in this thing. Being a GM for years I bought it just because.
I have modified mine with post-it notes. I expanded the weapon explosion template (even the core rulebook doesn't have an illustration of thermal or frag grenades). I also included a few more charts that I thought would benefit me more than those included in the screen. I just covered up the stuff I don't normally use. But since it's on post-it notes it's easy to look behind. It's on a great quality glossy card stock.
A great screen for Game Masters who don't want the players seeing their game notes or dice, but giving them nice art work to look at. The charts inside are so-so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars Gamemaster Screen Review, May 18, 2009

While not my number one pick out of the new Star Wars Saga products it is a good buy. The tables on the inside are useful and well grouped. If you plan to use it as a screen, it could really be a little taller. If you are only a player, don't bother. But if you are the GM and you're placing an order for other things anyway through it in to get the free shipping.
