Just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for the DW Variant Design Contets is March 15th. We've got a few fully-completed entries so far, but I am hoping to get at leats two more. Take a look at the contets if you haven't already. Remember, it doesn't matter how "pretty" the map looks. And if you don't think you're much good at variant design, perhaps somebody can take your initial ideas and build them into something better later on!

Check out the contest rules and guidelines at the Diplomacy World website (http://www.diplomacyworld.net) or use the direct link to DW #108 at:

And don't forget, whether you submit a variant or not, we are always looking for more material for the magazine itself!
