Re: After Con Report - ECC VII

[Nicholas Caldwell <nicholascaldwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a neat idea, Jon.

I was just going to point out that Dean also ran a few playtest scenarios as drop-in games this year.  I believe 3 games were run.

Hey, is there any interest in having one of those games be with alien fleets?  I didn't notice anyone using Fleet Book 2 this year and that's a shame.

We've got a few spaces that are usually open for a pick up game.  Dan
Blezek and Stuart Murray were playing Space Hulk on Friday night after
the game ended in the first timeslot.

I'd like to put together one or more "Scenario in a Box" for the next
convention.  The idea is that the box would contain a small scenario
(1 - 2 hours) for Full Thrust for 2-4 players with figures, setup
instructions, SSDs, and play balancing instructions for advanced and
new players.  The boxes would be available at the registration desk
for whomever wanted to play it.  They'd belong to the convention, so
they'd be back each year.

Comments?
