During GenCon 2003 (July 24-27), I ran several games of Evil Stevie's Pirate Game. This page is a writeup of some of the games.

A nice overview of the ocean. Sadly, it was a rather hard ocean. We prefer to play on carpeting - preferably blue!

The players at the end of the big campaign game. The gentleman with the big flag was the ringleader of the big coalition that defeated the islanders and captured a Class 3 Imperial ship. Glen of Red Shirt Games, with the smaller flag, took second place.

All told, we ran two 4 hour battle games, an 8 hour campaign game, and a 4 hour campaign game. All events were well attended and people seemed to have a lot of fun. Several people managed to play in multiple games.
