Spring Recruits is fast approaching and we are looking for volunteers that can run games for the over 500 attendees that we have averaged the last several shows.
This is a growing convention and groups like those out of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas (and others) that travel to put on incredible games continue to raise the bar.
We are always looking for new "Recruits" and this is still the biggest convention for the money ($5 for the entire weekend)

I'll have to check with the wife. Recruits is a very good time, indeed. I highly recommend anybody with the ability to go to do so.

I'll be there, hopefully running something. More info later.

AHOY!
We're back with the largest running pirate game in the North America. The Mutineers and I would like to invite the lot of you to pillage our little corner of the Caribbean for the last time at Recruits. "LAST TIME?!?" Yes for the foreseeable future as we will be working on a new colossal game for your entertainment.

Event listing:
The Golden Age of Piracy is drawing to a close and the grandest pirate game in North America is beckoning all scalawags to stand before the mast or swing at the gallows. Mr. Christian and the Mutineers proudly present the final installment in the "Fist Full of Seamen" story: "No Noose is Good Noose" or "Loyalty is a Four Letter of Marque Word. " The Year is 1702 and while wars rage in Europe the loyal governors of the Caribbean are committing no unnecessary loses to the effort that may draw attention to them from the royal courts back home. Drop Sail and weigh anchor in this colossal game of Hollywood piracy. Raid, trade, and, cannonade your way around this 700 SQ. FT. board collecting gold and infamy from a dozen Island locations. Beware! Ruthless Cannibals, a terrifying ghost ship and even the legendary Kraken stand ready to consume your crew and drag you to the depths. We will provide enough ships and crew for 21 captains to set sail on the high seas. Captains must be of Legal driving age to pilot one of our ships. The under 16 crowd will be provided characters to influence the battles and adventure around the map in search of fame and fortune. Anyone that wishes to bring their own crew and ship are encouraged to do so as it guarantees a place in the game as long as it fits into the gaming genera and or is approved by our Game Masters. Please contact us by March 15th of 2013 for a list materials you need if bringing your own ship and an official log sheet for the game. Further details provided at our website: link

For those that have not seen "The Pirate Room" in person I would have to recommend it. Not only has Mr. Christian and his deck mates gone above and beyond to put on a gorgeous looking game, but this one is actually very playable and even more fun.
I would have to say that he epitomizes the quality of Game Masters that volunteer their time for our growing convention.

Oooohh… I would love to see all this, but I am an ocean too far :(

SAGA has joined the list of games at Recruits. The KC area gamers are pooling together to show off this new game on Saturday April 6th.
We are also still looking for more vendors and GMs.
