Would there be an interest in the Pirate Game also? I'd be willing to
run that (and can provide plenty of ships). That would be another good
round the clock type game.

Oooh!!  Yes, I'd be interested!  Hmmm...  I'd have to make some Pirate ships
for it...  Would Airships (a la Final Fantasy) be okay?  ;)

We were also thinking of a Medieval/Fantasy Brickwars game.  Would there be
interest in that as well?

Definitely colour me there and interested, even if I *can't* use _Gloire_.  ;)  I
can put together other ships on fairly short notice.  I'll even give 'em two boats
each, so I can kedge around.  Oh, and I can bring some snakes if we want to make a
horrid, horrid Snake Island.

Airships probably wouldn't fit in too well. The Pirate Game is
relatively non-fantastic (though not totally so).

Depending on how many players we have, I may be able to supply all the
ships. I can almost certainly supply all the mini-figs (I have something
like 1200 Pirate theme mini-figs).

To minimize issues of what stuff belongs to whom, I'd be inclined to
keep as much of the small stuff which gets moved around to coming from a
single collection. Ships and scenery on the other hand are a little
easier to keep track of.

I will contact Steve and see if I can shake out the GM charts, otherwise
we'll have to wing those. I can probably get him to send me a photocopy
(I've been waiting for like a year no for them to show up on the web).

I e-mailed Steve over the weekend, and will be sending him an SSAE today
to get copies of the GM charts. He also expressed some interest in
coming to the Brickfest, though he said his June schedule is tight.

Please let me know if we want to actually go forward with the Pirate
Game.

...errrrr... Steve may be coming? As in Steve Jackson?

that'll still be fun! :-)

The self-same, but I judge from his response that it is very unlikely.

If the ok comes on down, don't worry, we can have a quite healty sized
game. I now have at least two of every pirate ship (though not all
currently built). I also have a ton of extra stuff.

...whoa... just the thought he was considering it is a lot! SJ is one of my assorted
Heros. I used to pester the hell out of him at sci fi cons... following him everywhere and
listening to everything he had to say :-)

Steve Jackson _will_ be here in _Atlanta_ for Dragon*Con [1]
this June/July, and will be running his infamous Lego Pirate Game
on Saturday.  D*C usually offers one-day, at-the-door memberships,
in case you manage to get here and want to play in the Pirate Game.

Thanks,
Franklin
