Or get food, or sleep (gasp)...
I'm definitely game, with or without Evil Stevie. (Of course I'd
gather that he's probably reading these messages, so maybe we'll
hear from him at some point, hopefully in the affirmative! :) )
GMing, or bringing ships, or what have you--or do you anticipate
one person bringing all ships again, with islands being a community
project? I finally have proper island baseplates, so I'm happy
about that prospect. It would however be loads of fun to have my
own ship, and I do now have enough material to make at least 12
size-2 or above ships not to mention a whole honkin' mess of cutters
(no small thanks to the White Pine Forest that is John Kanehl).
Just keep me posted. Anytime after 1 June would be magnificent,
anywhere DC or north. Oh, and I snagged loads of Technic 8000/
8001/8002 and the big Race Rally set with the brown half-cylinders,
so I can make mortars galore should we choose to implement that mod.
best
