Contents

Judge's Screen is a GM's screen for the Basic rules, with a map and guide to Marvel's Manhattan.[1] The referee's side as a representative selection of tables, including the 'universal' table which is used to resolve most actions.[2] The player's side shows the same 'universal' table, and a map of the Marvel version of Manhattan.[2] There is also an eight-page booklet to accompany the map, describing the city and giving rough details of major criminal power blocs and S.H.I.E.L.D.[2]

Publication history

MHAC1 Judge's Screen was written by Jeff Grubb, with a cover by Al Milgrom, and was published by TSR, Inc., in 1984 as a cardstock screen with an 8-page pamphlet.[1]

Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed the Marvel Super Heroes Judge's Screen in The Space Gamer No. 71.[3]

Marcus L. Rowland reviewed Judge's Screen for White Dwarf #62, rating it 4/10 overall.[2] He described it as "a fairly standard triple cardboard sheet".[2] Rowland commented: "This pack doesn't add much to the game (the 'universal' table appears twice on the covers of the original rule books, for example), and will probably only appeal to completists."[2]
