Hello,

No, Steve Jackson was NOT running the Pirate game.

They were using his rules and their own ships and scenery. The ships cost
$100's of dollars to purchase and have to assembled and painted. The scenery
was very detailed also. I am sure they were using some modified rules.

We were at the cons for Confrontation, D&D, LOTRS, miniatures, etc.

maybe he's just concerned about the risk of rare LEGO pieces "walking away".
It's probably a lot easier to find satisfactory replacements for miniatures
than
tracking down stuff like grey crocs (I imagine he could spit twice while
blindfolded and hit at least three green ones).
