Evil Stevie's game would take much longer than the normal four hour time
slot for an event. Usually the grognards will play the strategy and
miniatures games requiring longer time frames. That is not a bad thing on
several counts since Evil Stevie's game is more campaign based than Pirate
Wars and longer game times usually attract mature serious players. and the
game would run smoother..
Pirate Wars can be quicker, run in under four hours with 8 players. I have
GM'ed the game enough to adjust the game on the fly to match the maturity
and experience of the players. One suggestion is to list events as novice/
demo type games, then list games for experienced players we just instructed
and previous veterans.

Maybe, I don't know. I do know this, whatever game we run, whenever we run
it, we will not be at a loss for players. Also, if we ask players to bring
their own boats and check for updates here we will have no shortage of
interest. Frank, if you run a game, I would really like a chance to play
but how pressed for time will you be and do you have other games and
interests you want to look into while you are there? I have other games I
would like to play and hit the dealers room. I found Ninja Princesses in
there last year and yes I bought them all. Bwah ah ha ha ha ha......

Eight hours per game? Longer? Alternate GM's in different slots?

I would love to play the campaign game or at least assist in it to learn the
system firsthand, hopefully enough to give you a break..
One idea along the lines of total 4 day track of Lego activities involves
managing the timeline for indidvidual events to run successively one after
the other. Hopefully, we would be able to keep all the events in one area,
put up banners, info table, clandestine refreshment containers, etc..
