Note that the PDF is large (approximately 100 mg) to retain the highest print-quality possible. Pages can be printed out and inserted into generic game master screens available at local and online hobby stores or clipped to screens from other RPGs for use during SECRET FIRE game sessions. You can also save each of the six pages as a 72 dpi jpeg for use on iPads, iPhones, or other tablet or mobile devices. In addition, the file was created for full-page bleed, so depending on your printer, you may have to shrink it to around 95%. (The file was created this way since a printed version of the screen will be released later in 2012.)
Forged over the course of a decade, THE SECRET FIRE, which emphasizes rolelaying and exploration, is a game of creativity, flexibility, and limitless imagination, in which three-dimensional characters set out on daring quests into the dark and dangerous unknown. It's a DriveThruRPG bestseller and was ranked #2 out of the Top 5 Gifts for Tabletop Gamers for the 2011 holiday season by The National Examiner.
