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? I have a feeling that a 5- or 6- person Pirate Game might feasibly be run by one (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Well, I guess I'm going to do some piecemeal responses... I will craft a final report in a week or so though. Some quick comments before addressing some of Lindsay's comments: After looking at some of the pictures, I'm glad I forgot tape measures (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Great! Is this something you can share with us when it's crafted? (...) I agree--I really liked the brick rulers. However, I do think that 1x3 segments would be more useful than 1x4 segments--I'd rather have compressed the range somewhat. I (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Of course. (...) Actually, I wouldn't want to compress the inch any. The pistol fire was difficult as it was with a -1 per inch. Compressing that would make pistols almost useless (gee - I have no chance of hitting someone on the other side of (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

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. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Ahh, I hadn't had a chance to re-read through the rule books yet. (...) The way Steve handles it now is that he has a chart of pre-generated wind, and you pick a random starting point on the chart, and you roll a die each turn, on a 5 or 6 the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) They were added a week or two ago (a few days after I received paper copies). (...) I think changing every turn might be too much, but in our game, the wind changed direction once, and more than half the game (13 or 14 turns or something - I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) I think we'll go for something like every 2nd turn rolling for a speed change and every 3rd turn a direction change, or something along those lines. If it will help anyone I'll keep track of how many turns we run for and how I handled the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.gaming)
