Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay GM's Screen & Reference Pack

Usefull and Pretty
This is actually three products: the screen itself, a critical hits pamphlet and the index for the WFRP rulebook.

As GM screens go, this one is tip top. I'm a fan of "Walls of Fear and Ignorance", some GM's use them, some don't. I like them. The better screens will give you a nice concise listing of important rules at a glance. That is exactly what this one does. It is four paneled. The "GM's side" lists rules for Standard Tests, Healing, Vision Ranges In Darkness, Availability of Items, Subsistence, two panels of combat rules and the fourth panel covers Movement. All usefull. The opposite side is full color. It includes two full color art prints and a two panel map of the Old World. The map being aimed towards the players is most usefull for them, as they have a handy reference as to where they are and/or where they are headed during travel. Besides the screen, this product includes two booklets.

'GM's Screen and Reference Pack' is 16 pages consisting of an 11 page index to the rulebook that (in my not so humble opinion) should have been IN the rulebook. The remaining pages consist of an Almanac based upon the one found in "Shadows over Bogenhafen", but expanded and if printed out, usefull. It lists the days of the week (there are 8), Holy-Days and Months and an explanation of the Imperial Year. There are two pages which can be copied and used to keep track of time in the campaign. The last page is a one page Equipment reference.

The second booklet, 'Critical Hits' is 16 pages as well. It is an expansion of the Critical Hits from the rulebook. It lists Crits for sharp hand weapons, Blunt Hand Weapons, Teeth and Claws, Arrows and Bolts, Firearms, Falling and Crushing, and Fire and Energy. There are two pages of Critical Fumbles and a one page reference for Critical Hits rules. Critical Hits and Fumbles are an important part of the WFRP combat system and add a great amount of enjoyment to the game.

This is a great product and is one of the three "must buys" for WFRP. Buy this with the rule book, and Shadows over Bogenhafen for a fantastic campaign.

The GM screen is seriously indispensible for GMs for WFRP
The WFRP GM screen is indispensible for GM's in WFRP. It helps very much to be able not to review the rulebook at many instances, and to use the rulebook not for quick reference, but to look up specific instances of rules. In addition, the added crit tables are very useful, especially in unlikely combat situations that are brought up using the standard combat crit tables.

a must read
a must read if you are a real baseball fan, even if you only heard about most of these players from your father ...

Cure for the winter blues
This is the perfect baseball book for all seasons, but especially now with the World Series over, and spring training still months away. It also seems appropriate to me that this book is set during one of the "Golden Ages" of baseball between 1947 and 1964, a time when the only stats that mattered reflected exploits on the field, rather than tallies of bank accounts off the diamond, as we have heard so much about in the past few seasons.

So sit back, curl up in front of the fire, and dip in and out of this massive volume, which is edited and organized in a way that allows just such delights. Packed with stories about the game's greats, and not-so-greats, it offers wonderful insights into how the men who delighted in playing a boy's game actually felt, thought and acted, as told in their own words. There are baseball heroics here aplenty, but also some bitter truths and some all-too human behavior that just serves to make these men all the more real, and fascinating.

Editor and author Danny Peary obviously loves the game, and isn't tainted with the sort of "celebrity awe" that characterizes so much of today's sports' coverage, and its cynical flip-side. Of course, he does pay homage to the greats of this era, but he also rekindles a thousand memories for those of us old enough to remember some of the less celebrated, but nonetheless extraordinary characters who once inhabited the game. Hopefully, younger readers will also delight in meeting these men as well, who had wondrous names such as Vic Power, Minnie Minoso and Pumpsie Green. Need I say more?

fishing the outer banks
Captn Danny did a pretty good job in writing a book that real fishermen could relate to. He is right on the money in his descrptions of the outer banks and the pirates cove fleet. Its a little goofey in some parts, but fishermen are considered to be a little out there themselves. I like how Danny put himself in the book as the captain of the Carolina Pirate. I see a bunch of the guys from pirates cove and oregon inlet as characters in the book. Write another one Danny we need more good fishing books.

What a great book!!!
A suggestion to all readers out there! Read this wonderful tale of deep-sea fishing and romance. I could not put this book down! Even a reader that is not interested in fishing will love this novel. It is just truly a great book. Danny if you are reading, write another one. and I loved you book!!

Truly integrates entheogens in their proper place
This is a fine survey and analysis of Greek mythology. The matter-of-fact balanced integration of the entheogen aspect of myth is noteworthy. This clear, straightforward book is a good college textbook.

It was great!
I loved this book. Most of the script was similer to what the TV scripts sounded like, and that often makes the plot easier to believe. If you look closely and have a slightly parinoid mind, you'll see something strange going on from the begining. Ever since the TV show was cancelled, I've been heart-broken, and I for one am really glad that these books are coming out.

AWESOME!
I like this book mainly because Hercules finally hears from his father, Zeus, and gets a chance to win his Father's love.

An Eye Opener
What an excellent reference book. The detailed information on every aspect of African American Education answers many questions regarding issues concerning African Americans and the education process. The in depth interviews bring to light the challenges and experiences African Americans face in education. The resources and references are fantastic. The HBCU focus opened my eyes to the many accomplishments and challenges they face.

This book is a wonderful addition to my library, expanding my knowledge of the African American Perspective and the history of African American Education.

Wonderful way to introduce God to your toddlers heart.
I love the Beginner's Bible Series. The stories are short and simple enough for any child to understand. Every time my 2 year old sees Noah's Ark, she says, "Jesus loves me." Isn't that what we want to hear? The pictures are colorful and pleasing to look at. Just right for any 12 - 36 month old.

This book has it all!
Although it is intended for medical students, this comprehensive book would be useful to a wide variety of readers. I am a psychologist and teach medical residents, and I think this book is a marvelous review of (as its title says) Behavior and Medicine. It's excellent for students because it includes sample Board exam questions, but it's excellent for more advanced professionals because it reviews the basics and provides good ideas for further reading. Phenomenal illustrations also. Often edited books are uneven in their coverage, but this one has overcome that problem. A gem!
