Bob Marrinan, SGS member, has generously offered to make space available at his booth at Origins 2000 (July 13-14, in Columbus OH) for the SGS. President Schlosser has sent him some free copies of Strategist, as well as membership information and applications, for the benefit of convention attendees. Sharing Bob's booth will be Paper Wars/Omega Games with their line of fine ,garnes as well as the new Paper Wars edited by John Burtt. Australian Design Group will also be joining them to bring World in Flames and all of the expansions to the Origins gaming public. The booth will be in the autograph area. So, if you happen to be going to Origins, be sure to stop by and introduce yourself.

Bob runs Wolfhound Games, makers of Swords of Glory, a medieval economic wargame for 2-4 players. Swords of Glory is a boxed, regularly published game, but Wolfhound also does DTP games - including Metropolis, a quick pick-up game on building the greatest city on the Earth for 2-4 players that plays in under an hour. Two new DTP releases are Swords of Glory Expansion for 5 - 8 players (rules for adding up to 4 more players, and additional rules for legends, weather and events) and Undead & Clerics, another module for Swords of Glory that adds clerics and all sorts of creatures to the mix, with enough counters for 8 players.
