| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

 Useful for any Star Wars RPG Gamemaster October 2, 2008
When I found out that this came out, I was wondering if it would be worth it to get it. A week or two later, I made the right choice to buy it.
This product is a great product, sometimes necessary to many gamemasters. It contains all the vital charts I need to run a game session. It even has the page numbers of each chart's location so if you need more information, you can look it up in the Saga Edition book. It also gives me references to what your skill bonus would mean (ex: +0-+5 means your are an average citizen in that skill).
The artwork on the outside of the screen is pretty cool to look at. Also, the screen is actually short and long, so it is hard for players to look over you, but easy for you to look over at them.
The only thing I found wrong on the charts was how it says that force slam was a power that affected one thing within 6 squares and/or (forgot which) within line of sight.
Overall, this GM screen has improved my GMing a lot.
If you like and use a screen then this is for you. September 5, 2008
If you use screens then this is something that you will want to get. It is not too tall, heavy duty construction with full color pics over the outside. Lots of info on the inside for a gamemaster.
 Star Wars Game Master Screen Review August 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Great Screen August 18, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game screen is great. Nice finish...missing a few tables that would have been nice but overall a very good product.
Hum... nice, but the picture could be better August 16, 2008
I don't understand. Wizards of the Coast had months to do this properly, sure the material of the screen is great, the horizontal format is great too, and all the tables that were chosen. But why didn't they do a decent art for it? The main focal point of the screen is some 10 year old drawing that represents a nobody in terms of Star Wars universe... that's a big mistake, but, the overall result is pretty good, except for that minor thing.

What if they did special collector paint it yourself kits?
Not suggesting any change in the current lines here, but it was mentioned elsewhere by Insaniak that it would be cool to see resin or pewter one-offs. as in miniatures that you put together and paint yourself.
