| | | | | Hi! (...) This is probably why Steve has many "assistants." When a game is that large, is it possible to allow people unconnected to that particular battle to mediate?

| | | | | | Hi All, Mind if I join in? :-) I'm thinking about possibly running a game during PNLTC's big event during the summer, kind of "adding on" to our event to include a Brickfest of sorts and I've been actively following along trying to gather ideas.
