Reception

In the February 1994 edition of Dragon (Issue #202), Rick Swan was unimpressed by this supplement. He felt that the gamemaster's screen "does an adequate job collecting key tables from the rulebook, but in itself isn't worth the price of the package." Likewise, Swan didn't feel the information contained in the booklet was crucial, and thought that the errata sheet only contained one worthwhile correction. [2]

Kevin Montanaro reviewed Earthdawn Gamemaster Pack in White Wolf #42 (April, 1994), rating it a 4.5 out of 5 and stated that "All material is useful and plentiful. The booklet is rather thick in comparison to similar products; the screen is of good quality and there are additions that spill out upon opening. As far as screen packs go, this is a good buy." [3]
