[Steppes] Event Changes - long

Wed Oct 2 09:42:11 PDT 2002

I don't think that the cantons and shires would be able to combine any
better than barronies.  Every group likes to stand on it's own.

Mixing 12th night and Artisan is a tough sell due to physical sizes.  12th
night fills the hall and all the needed tables.  Adding in the Artisan
displays and the needed prep time for both would make this my least favorite
choice.

Mixing Warlord and Artisan is a better sell due to the building being half
empty most of the time.  In addition there is no feast to fight against for
table space.  The biggest down side I see is that the Artisans will not like
the events combined due to there being so much already going on at Warlord.
