The PBM Report Returns! From: "Kerry Harrison (Madhouse USA)" <kerry@madhouseusa.com> Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1999 00:00:00 +0000 As some of you have no doubt heard, as of May 1999, Madhouse USA has acquired the rights to The PBM Report from Ken Mitchell Graphics. It took us a couple of weeks longer then planned to get the newsletter back up and running, but the first issue (#9) under Madhouse USA has been laid out and is ready to go to press. However we do still have a few openings for advertisers in issue #9. Issue #9 includes news, reviews & articles on DungeonWorld, Ultima Online, Atlantis, Eldritch, Cracks of Doom II, Beyond the Stellar Empire, and Firebreather. And a couple of rants on the state of the hobby by Allen Viduka and a new column called Rain's PBM Life. All crammed into 16 pages. Also the final issue of Fractal Spectrum (FS) Magazine, issue #19 will be sent out along with it. Starting with issue #10 The PBM Report will be expanded to a 32 page format with a $4 cover price. We already have reviews for Beyond the Stellar Empire, Mortis Maximus, and Lords of the Earth lined up and expect to add a another regular column or two. 1 Year Subscriptions (6 issues) to The PBM Report are: $24 for addresses in the US (including FPO & APO military addresses) $32 for addresses in Canada and Mexico $36 for addresses elsewhere in North or South America $38 for addresses in Europe $42 for addresses in Australia and New Zealand $52 for addresses anywhere else in the world All subscriptions to The PBM Report are to be paid in US funds by check, money order, or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover/NOVUS accepted).
