This box set does not come with the full GM Screen, that is separate. It is for 5th edition Shadowrun, though. If you have the Core Rulebook already, this GM Screen just reprints one appendix page near the end with charts on it, and the quick stats of the pregen characters. If you have the Quickstart Rules, it's the exact same GM Screen included with that product.

It's worth noting that the 5 pre-generated characters in each box are the same, just formatted differently. The novel excerpt is the same in each, too.

Are the coupon codes usable with Amazon discounts? Or do you have to order directly from the publisher?

It would be really nice if work could be done to speed up printing of these materials. Call me old-school, or what have you, but I like to have printed versions of my game rules. Now, I'm fine with the periodic micro-supplements being online only. I bought Assassin's Primer, Gun Heaven, and Coyotes. But when it comes to this and Run & Gun, I'd really like book versions. Alphaware will hopefully make my group's sessions more efficient, but I can live without it. Run & Gun is something I'm really hoping to buy soon. But given that Alphaware has been online-only for almost half a year now and counting, should I assume that print copies of Run & Gun can be expected somewhere between 2015 and 2016? You're losing at least one isolated customer with that approach. If there are other potential customers like me, it might be worth examining your business process/model.

The only reason I'm seriously looking into buying this I'd for the dm screen, the cards/maps and the missions. The missions are fine as PDFs, but are the cards/maps and screen worth it?
I've got the weapon cards already, but spell cards and maps just sound cool. Anyone know if these are on the horizon?

Alexander L mentions that Coydog's totem isn't listed on her sheet. She is referred to in one of the fiction pieces in the 5e corebook (as are pretty much all the other pregens), and I believe she was a coyote shaman.

Thanks Drew. It was bugging the hell out of me that her totem was missing on her characters sheets but I didn't want to try and flip through the core rulebook searching for a specific mention.

Also, in 5th Edition, a Shaman doesn't HAVE to conform to a specific totem (though for flavor they tend to). Mechanically the totem only comes into effect if the character has a Mentor Spirit.

If your are proficient with the core book, and already playing missions or your adventures, then this isn't going to do much for you. The physical copy may be a different situation.

No review of the product... Sometimes I think Catalyst Game Labs marketing department is on a permanent vacation

Well that's a little unfair! I appreciate that the company isn't planting reviews of their own products. Of course that also means that they're not handing out comp copies to professional review sites. Which may or may not be sleeping on the job.

It would be nice to know what the pre-order discounts apply to. I imagine it's $5 if you order the Beginner's Box, $10 if you order Alphaware and $20 if you order both.

But I could be completely wrong.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
