We had a pretty good turn out tonight - 17 people at one point. We played quick games of Apples to Apples and Guillotine, while folks settled in.

Next I tried my hand at running a Werewolf/Mafia variant that I had put together for Talk Like a Pirate Day. We had 14 people playing, but three of them had never played before and one of those really wasn't into it (but didn't say anything). Because of the way things fell out, we ended up cutting the game short which was too bad - I would have liked to see how it turned out. Anyway, my variant was to put a Pirate twist on everything: The players are all crew on a pirate ship - but the ship has been infiltrated by Ninjas! They've killed the captain and now they are going after the rest of the crew. Overall it got the right sort of reactions from folks, but needs a bit of clean up. [livejournal.com profile] notshakespeare says I need to add a monkey and a robot, and I agree :) I also need to put together a script for the narrator.

I ended the evening with a game of Pirate's Cove, which is always a fun game - even on non-pirate days.
