GM Screen Pro is a [SuperCard][1] Standalone application that provides
a role-playing game (RPG) referee with a variety of useful tools. It
also serves as the front end for a variety of expansion modules
(including adventures and enhancements). All of the functions of the
software are described in an online help, but the main features are
listed here.
### The software has the following features:
* Modular Expandability: GM Screen Pro can load Expansion Modules
that add additional functions to the software. These modules can
also include RPG adventures, maps, settings (cities, spaceports,
bars, etc.), NPC lists, monster books, equipment books, and almost
anything else that can be used with a RPG.
* Dice Pads: The software includes a dice pad containing a set of
standard RPG dice (four sided, eight sided, 20 sided, etc.) as
well as pads for rolling up to fourteen ten or six sided dice at
once. Both the dice pads and strips can play the sound of rolling
dice to strike terror into the hearts of the players.
* Dice Strips: These strips provide compact access to the standard
dice as well as strips for rolling multiple four, six, eight and
ten sided dice. A great tool for those fireball attacks.
* Graphic Tools: GM Screen Pro includes a full set of both drawing
and paint tools. The program supports a palette of 256 colors and
64 patterns and has six distinct pages for graphic work. Ideal for
importing maps and images or creating them on the spot. Any or all
of the pages can be printed.
* Multimedia: The software supports full PICS and QuickTime movie
playback. It can play and record sounds (at three different
quality levels) and provides direct control over the Mac's sound
volume.
* Time Records: GM Screen Pro has a built in set of useful record
keeping tools.
* Text Loader: The software can load text files onto a series of
navigable cards allowing adventure text to be easily imported and
handled. This feature can handle texts files of almost any size
and card creation and deletion is fully automated. -Text Import:
The software can easily import text files into scrolling fields
for ease of use. Text may also be exported from these fields to
text files.
* NotePads: The software includes three distinct electronic notepads
including a player notepad.
* Online Help: The software features a complete online help system
that covers all the functions and includes tips and advice.
* Environment Controls: The user can select the bit-depth of
monitors from within the software and chose whether to have a
backdrop (balck or white) or not.
Bonus: GM Screen Pro includes the sample, ready to play FRPG adventure
"Ghost Ship."
