Just got this today and each chapter I am awed by the effort to be so detailed. I been a paper n dice gamer since the 70s. What i have found for Anima Beyond Fantasy to be a great value. Diverse character generation, Excelent crafting rules, and a great section for dms to help flesh out other monsters or various npcs as well. My only critisism is that I wish a gm shield was available as well. <very minor critique> The artwork is very well done and the rule system looks complex, but doesnt require a rocket scientist to learn.
Anima beyond fantasy what a great value!
Öh, there IS a gamemaster pack available, including a well made screen. Plese check http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=1457
The DM's Toolkit has the most beautiful DM screen I've seen. The book is pretty cool, but the screen is sensational. I bought mine online for like 12 bucks.
