It is really up to the players. The vast majority of players care less about a storyline than they do about getting to shoot the gun at someone. The simpler the goals, the more players get interested in the outcome of the mission(s). The vendors will come when the number of players is high enough and not before. I offer two different types of paint at my games as well as a byop option for an additional fee. I know a lot of players have a paint pereference, so I say let them bring it if they like. Depending on where you are located, giving the wife and kids something to do might be tricky. I remember seeing a lot of bored moms at DDay. I tell folks to bring a fishing pole to my games if they aren't playing. The campgound is around a 5 acre lake. I encourage experienced and frequent players to help out and show around new players. Most folks are happy to help out. My idea is to simply sacrifice numbers for quality at the outset. Work hard at weeding out the cheaters and unsafe players, and you will have a higher quality game. A higher quality game will attract more high quality players. At least this I hope.
