On its own, its a decent product. But in this format, its impossible to print. This thing is 40 inch long and password locked. So without the password, impossible to print.... Great job driveThru /end Sarcasm

Nice PDF, Only problem was when printing it ? it's in a format that cuts off pages, so wording is cut, I had to shave paper with the sissors to make the sentences line up ? Other than that I would recommend printing it to other GM's,

I really would like to rate this higher, the adventure is good and the screen looks great - but the formatting for the pdf of the screen is awful. It is two pdf pages, each of which are about 4 pages wide - this doesn't allow me to actually print out and use the sheet at all so why did I buy it?

Please AEG, fix the pdf format so that it goes across 8 pages and is actually printable. I really want to rate this higher but I can't even use it as it is.

http://www.teilzeithelden.de/2014/09/19/neu-in-rokugan-diese-legend-of-the-five-rings-erweiterungen-lohnen-sich-teil-1/

Diese Erweiterung ist ein klassischer, aufklappbarer Spielleiterschirm. Das Problem: Der Schirm ist dünn und damit nicht so standfest wie vergleichbare Produkte von Dark Heresy oder The One Ring. Auf der Innenseite findet sich eine Kurzzusammenfassung wichtiger Regeln – besonders hervorzuheben ist dabei ein guter Überblick über das Ehre-System (Honor, Glory). Wer aber das Second City Boxed-Set kauft, erhält dort einen deutlich besseren Spielleiterschirm, der auch standfest ist.

Game Master's Screen and Adventure enthält als Bonus das Abenteuer Descent into Darkness. Dieses ist 20 Seiten kurz und sehr flexibel: Es kann in jeder Region von Rokugan gespielt werden. Von der Länge her umfasst es etwa einen Spielabend. Die mitgelieferten Nichtspielercharaktere (NSCs) lassen sich ohne Probleme in jede Kampagne übernehmen. Über den Inhalt sei an dieser Stelle verraten: Im Dorf Mushi Mura leben die Bewohner in Angst vor einem verborgenen Feind. Die Spielercharaktere müssen Diplomatie beweisen und dann eine schwere Entscheidung treffen. Das Detektiv-Abenteuer ist zwar spannend, aber eher untypisch für Legend of the Five Rings und vom Inhalt recht düster. Für Einsteiger ist es damit nur bedingt geeignet.

Fazit: Nur für Sammler interessant. Die Tabellen und Kurzregeln von Game Master's Screen and Adventure sind hilfreich beim Spielleiten, werden aber durch den Second City-Spielleiterschirm komplett ersetzt. Das beigelegte Abenteuer ist spannend, aber alleine nicht den Kaufpreis wert. Vorsicht vor der PDF-Version: Die Tabellen lassen sich nicht gut ausdrucken.

Really nice GM screen and adventure,

Just a shame that the GM screen is presented as one long sheet equivalent to three letter-sized portrait sheets in width making it essentially impossible form most people to print off...

It's surely not too much to ask that it's presented in a usable form!

I purchased the Dead tree version from ebay, I was more than a little disappointed by the quality compared to the 4th rules books which I rate highly. The Adventure is ok, a little short but ok. The screen on the other hand is very thin card, the Art work is ok and the table/info is useful, but when compared to the Screens for Dark heresy it is forced to hold its head in shame. And the moral of this story is stick with the PDF.

Firstly, the GM Screen is marvellous. The exterior artwork is just beautiful and really aids the GM in setting the mood and flavour of the game. There is plenty of inspiration just from these images. The data on the screen is highly relevant and usable, especially having the Honour table at a glance. Overall, it is a well-designed product that any GM would find useful.

On to the adventure, then. 'Descent into Darkness' weighs in at 20 pages, with 13 of those devoted to the module and the others for NPCs and the map. It supports its claims to be a 'plug-and-play', region non-specific module very well and the designers have done a good job of leaving enough blank areas for the GM to fill and customise it for their own campaign. IT is even open-ended enough that it could be used as the introduction to a much longer campaign arc.

After reading through the whole module, all I can say is 'wow'. This is an especially dark piece of work (for L5R) which is justifiable given the nature of the conundrum placed at the feet of the PCs. There is a huge emphasis on thinking before acting, socialising and investigation to uncover the true activity behind the module. When the PCs do figure it out, they are left with a horrifying choice. This should lead to a lot of really good roleplaying scenes and characters doing some soul-searching before they can reach a sense of closure.

The module is well laid-out, and there are scaling tips in some encounters to give some advice on not only making the encounters more challenging, but also dealing with evoking the adventure (the one entitled 'Not dark enough?' has some great tips).

I think that this could well be more than a night's play to complete, depending on how much characterisation and investigation the players want to undertake. In preparation, I would warn any GM to have a contingency plan (and this is dealt with in the module too) as there are some open scenes which can potentially change the entire gameplay. Whilst this is distinct possibility, it only detracts in a small way from the product.

I'm really looking forward to putting my group of players through this. As they are interested in L5R, but have a strong background in White Wolf games, this will be a perfect hook to get them into a campaign.

I have a problem with the way it was scanned. I would like to print this off but as it is scanned now, it is difficult to do. I have tried using GIMP but I have not figured out how to divide it into easily printed sizes.

There's one thing you know for certain when you look at anything related to L5R. High quality.

That's all I can say about the GM screen and Descent into Darkness.

Top notch art, top notch writing.

While the $9 may be a lot for a GM Screen, if you play L5R, this is a must-have, and the included adventure provides a great stepping point for a campaign.
