Would doing that work?

Those are the dimensions of the arena floor itself...and I love it! Hadn't considered that, it's a good way to do an end-run on the fixed "block" sizes.

That's what I was thinking...18x18 felt way too small, and the fear was that 24x24 would end up being too big. I like to keep 'First impression' convention games fairly intense, to where they're either dogfighting to line up a good shot or the bullets are flying; ambling around idly leads to bored players, and bored players doesn't lead to sold copies and a larger player base.

For comparison, Aladdin's Castle is 21" square (right in-between) and it's a pretty tight area to maneuver through.

Wasn't aware of Aladdin's Castle, but that makes a perfect point of comparison. Playtesting with 24" it is, and if it does end up being too big I've got josephrey's idea to fall back on. Thank you all!
