I'm not sure if it's worth chucking just because we only have 6 players.
It does suggest we don't want to pay for Steve Jackson to come (however,
if he wanted to come on his own, that would be cool). I'd love some more
opportunities to run the game, and 6 players would be enough to at least
have a game. We would just be changing the focus of the event to either
a general gaming event (with perhaps some Brickwars thrown in). I
suspect that if we had the game going, that we would get some drop ins
from the gaming crowd. Note that Steve Jackson has run the game very
successefully at SF and Gaming cons with almost no LEGO fan base. Of
course getting 20-30 players from a 500+ member con (not sure about the
sizes of the various cons) is a lot easier than getting 10-15 players
from a 50-100 person gaming event.
Another factor is that many folks don't start committing until about a
month or so before an event like this (how many people were signed up
for Brickfest 2000 by the middle of March?).
Of course another factor is that we are awfully close in time frame to
Brickfest. Perhaps it would work better to do it in the fall (and to
some extent, for Lindsay's new found friends on the other side of the
pond, I would be inclined to reccomend they come to Brickfest over
Piratefest, I think if I was buying a ticket to Europe I would want to
be going to a fairly general type event, though of course a very
specific type event would also be good).
