Just a reminder that there is currently a variant design contest underway, with **real** prizes. You can see the details in Diplomacy World #107 or #108:

The contest rules are simple, the prizes worthwhile, and the deadline is still almost two months away (March 15).  Give it a shot!  We've got a couple of finished entries so far, but the top three variants win, so if response doesn't pick up you could win something by default!

Oh, that reminds me, the "theme" of #109 (with a deadline of April 1) is Economic Variants...so anything you'd like to contribute on that or any other variant topic, for ANY Diplomacy World issue, please do! If you need more information or have questions, email me at:
