I wouldn't depend on Steve Jackson showing up, just snag the rules, get some
people together (or shang-hai the neighborhood kids) and play. Steve Jackson
Games is often represented at the local gaming con, but The Pirate Game seems
to be associated with science-fiction conventions.

For any New-Zealand or Scotland-based Pirates, I have made a LEGO sheep out of
commonly available parts...

Gadzooks! No! Please! What next? A Lego packet of three? A Lego tube
of -
This has gone far enough!
And out of commonly available parts no less. There was a time when decorum
was maintained. Some things were regulated by good manners or at least kept
(mainly) indoors. These young people, making Lego sheep out of commonly
available parts. And for Pirates!
Terrifying. ;-)
(Please excuse all the exclamation marks. I'm not very good at moral
outrage. I'm a bit out of practice. I don't think I've actually been
morally outraged since about 1975. Apart from my reaction to last weekend's
appalling Australian republic referendum. And don't get me started on
that.)

Let's see where we all are. Maybe we could find a centrally located
hotel where we could convene and Pirate our Arrrrses off. (Sadly I'm
limiting this to the continental US of A. A central location that
included our Aussie mates would be in the Pacific somewhere.(1) That
would take a lot more planning and a LOT more Spouse Butter.)(2)
I'm in Newport News, VA (lower right corner)
SteveC
(1) NOT that meeting in Hawaii would be impossible. But if I go to
Hawaii I'm not planning to lock myself in a conference room for days at
a time with a bunch of people like, uh, myself...
(2) Spouse Butter is a Registered Trademark of Spouse Butter Substances, Inc.
