Well, the 4th of July is just around the corner and you know what that means... food, fun, frolic, fireworks? No, it means that Origins '91 is here! And that means that we get to meet all of our friends and players in Baltimore. Yes, Bill and I will be there to discuss all of the GSI games as well as to promote our newest game, Middle-Earth PBM™. For those of you who can make it to Baltimore for four days of games and fun, look us up at the I.C.E. booth where we'll be sharing space and talking about Middle-Earth.
Finally, Middle-Earth PBM™ will be unveiled and publicly offered at Origins this month. We're justly proud of the game and we think that you will find it to be our best game ever! The laser graphics are sharp, the four color rulebook and map are outstanding, and the game itself is state of the art. But don't just take my word for it - come by the booth at Origins '91 and see for yourself. Or just take our word for it and send in your registration for the new games which are to start! In either case, you'll be very satisfied that you did.

Is there anyone out there who has a lot of friends who want to play all the free peoples in Middle Earth. My friends and I want to play the Evils and need an enemy. If you can swing it, send your requests into GSI.

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
