Origins PBM Jury Members Needed
Origins are looking for three volunteers to act as jurors for the PBM Origins Awards. Volunteers need to know about PBM, and be willing to play 10 - 15 games (generally for free, though this is not always the case) over the next year in order to rank them. If you think you might be interested, please email Rick Loomis at
rick@flyingbuffalo.com for more information, remembering to put Origins Award in the subject line.

Fourth-age Module Changes
We have many many improvements to the set-up options for the fourth-age Module.

Setting up in a Game
Gunboat and Grudge and other variant games cost more to start up with, check
the house rules for full details.
When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you your choice of
nation from the list of nations that you have sent me - please send multiple
nation choices as this helps to get everyone their 1st or 2nd choices - if
too many choose only 1 nation the system falls apart. All nations are
potentially available until I set up the game.
Descriptions of the type of game follow - please check this when contacting
me with regards playing in that game. When joining with allies please tell
me so that I can help out. You cannot join 1650/2950 games as Neutral with
an aligned or Neutral ally. 1000 - some rules apply for joining with allied
Neutrals please ask (you are usually Neutral Team and not allowed to change
allegiance).
Up to 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.
Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it, always check the rules for variant games;
