• Ultimate GM Screen 2 "Bigger and sturdier than ever, this screen has two dice rolling towers (one toward the GM, one toward the players) and a quick-release disassembly design that allows you to transport or store this bad boy quickly and easily.

  [*]Review: Eberron Campaign Guide "If you’re just getting into Eberron then this book is a must-have.

It’s got everything you need to run a long and detailed campaign in Eberron."
