I'm in. What sort of ships are you looking for? Players to bring their own cutters and possibly a size upgrade? Scott (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.org.glug)

It will need to be classed as I'm not sure what size it is (bigger than a cutter, smaller than a breadbox). You'll have to forgive the (...)

This is a call for interest in Evil Stevie's Pirate Game at BrickFest. I am considering for this year a shorter game of 4 hours (perhaps up to 5 or 6). At Gen Con we managed a campaign game in 4 hours (with setup time included) that got a few people (...)

Hello all. Long time, no post... This is my first ship in a while. It's supposed to be a Spanish Caravel, and since there's nary a right angle on the things, I've used a few unorthodox methods to try and create some curviness. See watcha think: (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates)
