The Pamphleteers are named after a song by the Winnipeg band The Weakerthans. The item in the middle is a gestetner, a pre-digital 20th century copying machine, which the narrator uses to make leftist pamphlets and which was also used to make zines and small group publications. As you can see you put paper in one side, and in this version, a finished baseball comes out on the other.



In honor of the dreams of the narrator of the song, in this timeline Winnipeg is an independent socialist city-state, and the team is administered by the Department of Baseball (that's me, plus I add a random roll to big decisions to simulate collective government).



The darker colors are from the Penmen logo which comes with the game. I used it for a year before I started making logos and I am attached to it. The second version colors are from the Winnipeg flag. The buffalo is from the Manitoba flag (or from these flag-fan-made replacement flag suggestions).

I'm not sure how I let a Weakerthans reference sneak by me! Such a great band!
