Jason,
I think we should ask around with WAMALUG since I know that many of them
have LOTS of baseplates. Jeff Stemble comes to mind. His baseplate
collection excels my entire LEGO brick collection in cubic inches.
I will only be able to be at Brickfest for Saturday, but if the game happens
that day, I could probably submit a building or two. Would you want playable
interiors? Or just exterior shells? I couldn't play the entire game (have to
see everything else at brickfest too) but would definately stop in and could
help briefly with picture taking or answer rules questions so that players
don't have to play coach as well. (Isn't it weird that last year this time,
I was the one ASKING rule questions...?)
