(TFT) Fantasy master screen

["JOSEPH SIMPSON" <drbones1967@msn.com>]

I am trying to print my own fantasy masters screen for my son (he hasn't
memorized enough yet, but I'm working on him), and I was wondering if someone
could tell me what the original dimensions were for the screen. Was it one or
two sided? How many folds were there? Was the information on the box part of
the screen or used as separate hand outs?

I really appreciate any help,

Joseph Simpson

  LOL!
  I KNOW HUH?
  Then you start trying to corolate with old-school gaming systems that the
  designers NEVER had the access to information that we have now and you can
  get into a real whirl!

  Hee hee hee!
  I drew it this way for a reason.
  1 square hex = 1.3m by 1.3m by 1.3m
  The height on Joe Average (hero @ 6' i.e. average PC Figure) comes up to his
  nipple-line porportionally.
  That is 6 of the Figures 8 heads in porportional height.
  Body relative, Giants and Halflings fit into these same "lego-blocks"

  Yeppers, nipple-line.
  I figure cubic square hex *2 is ~8.5' and 3 is ~12.75' that a storie is like
  2.5 Melee hex-heights?

  Thanks for this discussion.
  I'd like to represent this for "counting" like this.
  I note than when reading estimations of "work done" (a shady figure at best)
  averages seem to come in at a western style at about 55 "pounds" moved from
  primary location to some gathering point per hour of work over the course of
  the 'modern' 8hr workday (~440 lbs production... less than a quarter ton).
  IMO
  Basic Figure ST is the energy resources a Figure can expect to focus
  assuming it's being properly maintained.
  I'd call this aerobic ST.

  Do you remember my stuff about heartrates?

  Even a big shock can get your heartrate up to heavy-exercise levels.
  Call of Cthulhu, horror stuff here.

  Roc eggs?

  lol

  I just went and tried that and it didn't work at all.
  I got egg allover my hoodie.
  Damnit!
