Castle Dracula / Chill Master's Screen was designed by Gali Sanchez, with a cover by Susan Collins, and was published by Pacesetter, in 1984 as a cardstock screen with an 8-page pamphlet. [2]

Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Chill Master's Screen in Space Gamer No. 71. [1] Barton commented that "the CM Screen should prove useful to most Chill GMs who like more than an ordinary binder to hide their notes, and the Castle Dracula adventure can be a fun – if potentially deadly – bonus for those times you can't get together an entire play group."
