Hi McQ,
I have an idea how to solve it. Whoever wants to organize/host such a historical mission starts a thread and occupies say immediately the first two posts for later editing.
First post:
- Brief Mission outline
- Time and Date
- Player Skill Prerequisites
- Room Size
- Participants list
Second post:
- Detailed Briefing
- Additional materials (pictures, maps, etc.)
I think the trick is to handle this like a mini tournament. You have to make players commited and familar with the rules. And you have to act according to plan - no additional players who have not registered and have been admitted. Stick to the time. Penalize (yes, sorry) players who commit and don't show (e.g. blocked for next event). And it's the organizer who calls the shots, e.g. who will be admitted to participate and who not.
Hope we'll soon see lots of such events spring up, and work.
