“Then we’d better find whoever decided to save his life.” You punch in the coordinates for Karakorum in the year 1241, and fire up the time machine. As you disappear from the 13th century, you silently hope that it isn’t the roaches again…

TimeWatch designer Kevin Kulp has traveled into the future where he’s already completed the TimeWatch Game Master’s Screen and Resource Book, and brought it back for your use and enjoyment! He probably did not catastrophically disrupt history in the process!
The TimeWatch GM’s Screen is three-ply and portrait-oriented, with all-new art on one side by TimeWatch artist Rich Longmore and enhanced by 13th Age artist Lee Moyer. On the other side is the essential information and tables a GM needs to run a TimeWatch game.
The Resource Book includes advice, guidance and rules for:
Making combat in TimeWatch even more fun
Pre-made Rebel organizations to bedevil or ally with your time-traveling Agents
16 new time seeds for near-instant missions, organized by the Adversaries and Antagonists that each mission seed uses. If you read the Adversaries in the main book and thought, “that sounds fun but how would I use it?”, you’ll like this section.
Protect the secrets of the future, present and past until the time comes to reveal them

by Daniel Fidelman Surprisingly enough, one of the most epic and memorable battles I had a chance to run, was a battle of wits and historical knowledge.

By Kevin Kulp The baby had been born three hours ago, healthy and beautiful, and now it was asleep in its mother’s arms.
