(...) Hoo, yeah - you need a second GM, Actually, I'm thinking of having about 4 next time I play - an uber-ref (me), a sutler, a combat ref (I can only be in one place at a time!) and a ship ref (in charge of playing imperial and merchant ships) (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I got pretty lucky there what with having blown one cannon up from a good distance, and on the next turn I managed to decrew the other one. I think it's because my gunners got some practice shooting at Guano Island. I will tell you this, I was (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I think a GM is still a good idea for a fleet game. I'm hoping that if we manage Piratefest that we can still muster 8-10 players. A fleet game though certainly wouldn't require as much GM involvement since there isn't much to do for sailing (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.gaming)
