Is it just a GM screen or is there also a critters book or stuffer shack type scenario with it?

Cool. Maybe if someone had posted a link I'd have known that. :)

Since I started the thread right right before I went to bed, I appologize for its brevity. There are two "versions" of the screen in the pdf. One is the full (which I have no clue how to print yet) and the other is the "lite," which is the tables on seperated sheets. For those of us who buy the electronic version, it will be far easier to print off the lite version and paste them onto heavier backings to create our own screen than it will be to make the "official" one.

Hmmm...I think I'll wait for the hardcopy when it comes to the GM screen. Any idea when it'll be on shelves?

I'm tempted to get the eBook version myself, since I can print out the tables and paperclip them to my Feng Shui GM Screen.
Since none of the links have been posted yet here they are: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/catalog/produc...iliate_id=18145 http://www.studio2publishing.com/shop/prod...roducts_id=1960 http://rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=6784 http://battlecorps.com/catalog/product_inf...roducts_id=1692 Currently I just want to wait for the currency coversion rate to be a little more favourable. |

Just like for the rules from MJLBB for runs on the fly, I've put together an online generator for runs on the fly from the GM Screen companion book at my shadowrun site. Thought I'd advertise it here as well as in community projects. Bugs or problems should probably be posted here.

I emailed fanpro, they said they will be adding a version that splits the screen up into 4 pieces, so you can printit on regualr paper.
They emailed me back pretty fast. I only wonder why they didn't break each side into 8x11 sheets anyways. |

Wow, I just checked Amazon. They list the GM Screen with a date of June 30th, 2006. Curiously, they list Street Magic with a date of June 28th (!), so I think something is a little messed up there.

Never trust Amazon's dates. I think they just make them up.

Buddy of mine pre-ordered Team Fortress 2 from amazon.com back in '98, when they had it listed as coming out in mid-August or something.
Needless to say, he's still got his receipt hanging around somewhere... |

Amazon -- and all book trade dealers -- solicit material much further in advance than the game trade, and they're generally slower to make updates when provided with updated information.
FanPro's relationship with the book trade in general is improving, now that PSI reps us, but as long as the game industry is, ah, not quite reliable about release dates, Amazon and other online sellers are going to continue having out of date information for almost all game industry publishers. Edit: And yes, we're going to add a fourth file to the GM screen download this week, with the big fancy graphical screen cut up into letter sized paper. I have a bunch of stuff ahead of it on the priority list [including the very exciting "Back up the last 10 or so ebook construction files to DVD" task and the more tasty "eat birthday cake" task], but if you buy the GM Screen now or have already bought it you'll be given access to the updated download when it arrives. |

I've done tons of ordering from amazon and never had a problem. Usually there are cheaper alternatives, but sometimes they've got the right price. Who do you recommend (and why?)

There is certainly a supply problem that needs to be addressed. The retail shops in my home town have said they've had tons of trouble getting SR4 stuff in. They couldn't even fill their pre-orders with the initial shipment of the SR4 BBB. Granted, I do live in the "boonies" of Canada, but still, I never had trouble getting SR stuff before.

Absolutely. The SR4 contacts alone are worth that much, assuming that your only alternative would be to crank them out yourself at whatever hourly wage you're used to working at. =) |

Isn't the bulk of the screen content tables for quick reference?

Are they the contacts from Mr. Johnson's Black Book, or are they different? And isn't Mr. Johnson what prostitutes call their customers?
