Well... (yea I know, I'm sure you're busy putting out all those nifty

What neat stuff? I haven't checked your website lately...

One thing I haven't had to deal with too much is people coming into the
game, in fact, basically every time it's happened, we've just handed
over one of the abandoned ships which hadn't left the fray yet. Also,
out of my two games, we've had exactly one ship upgrade, which did take
some time. Combat assistant's haven't seemed too necessary for the run
of the mill ship combat but we're blessed with a good core of folks who
have taken the time to learn the rules. In the last game, they just told
me how much damage the NPC ship had taken.

We haven't done enough costuming. I keep forgetting to bring the pirate
kit I picked up from a toy store.
