In a few months the biggest game fair in the world is gonna open its portals again in Essen, Germany. Since I live rather near to Essen, and have a decently sized appartment, I would like to play host to fellow German and European Paizo-fans throughout the 4 days of the Spiel 2008. This should, of course, result in lots of laughs, gaming and general merriment. 4-5 places to crash would still be available.
If anyone is interested, just reply here so we can iron out the arrangements and all.
P.S. If any Paizo staffer should also come to Essen, I'd be glad to have you as a guest for partying and gaming as well, since I doubt you'd wanna catch the Zs in a sleeping bag on the floor.
You know, with offers like this, I'm almost tempted to go for more than one day this year. I should even have enough leave to do it. Have to think this through.
This is a really nice idea.
Now I'm thinking about travelling...
*bump*
Hmm... I don´t know yet. I have a date for playing the dark eye that very weekend, and we were always there only on thursday. I have to think about it.

Stefan
the Dark Eye ... isn't that: the Black Eye. ;-P (sorry 'bout that)
Seriously, even if you just come on one, day be could have a game together...

The way I envision the entire affair would basically be us going to the Spiel on, possibly, all days, for however long, and after a while go back to the appartment and game, or party or whathaveyou.
So even if you just wanna hang out for a day or an evening, I doubt those who will participate would mind.
The only thing I would ask of ya, since I host the 4 days is to provide food and non.tea/coffee drinks (be it beer or soda), if someone is interested in wine I can purchase it at 25% off the retail value at work. Still a tad expensive but that's wine for ya.
No problem at all. I took it as given that won't have to pay all athe expenses for us.
I propose when the October draws near we hash out in detail when/where/ how food is bough and how to fairly share expenses ...
((Hm, wolln wir den Thread nich auf Deutsch weiterschreiben?))
I'd rather continue the thread in English, basically because there might be some other folks interested in this who do not hail from Germany and might not know German.
I don't want to make this an exclusive thingy. If anyone from the EU or even from abroad wants to come to Spiel 2008 they should be aware of the going-ons.
I know it's still at least 4 months til Spieel 2008. However, if people are interested, please post here and/or email me to:

We should start the planning soon.
I am still interested, though I still don't know if I am able to get the money together.

I and probably a couple of friends from Warsaw will be coming to Essen as well. I hope to run a Beta game and get to play in another.
How many friends?
Hey, nice so lets see how many we are now:
Me,
Mace,
Franz,
Locworks and 2 friends.
7 people. Sounds like loads of fun =)
[I know I am being rather forward here, but I'd like to think of it only being optimistic ;) ]
I think that my wife and I will be there for thursday (only). So, perhaps we can set a time and place for meeting.
I seem to recall that someone from paizo wrote that they will have a presence at the booth of their importer (Ulisses ?)- or was that last year?
Stefan
Although it's still nine weeks or so, I want to start my planning, i.e. how to get there, which days will I stay, when to play what with whom etc.
Some people expessed interest in this thread, how is everybodys status?
I have a Typo3 testsite until the end of the year, should we make use of that? Or just talk about everything here?
Anybody of you people on facebook?
Addition: And let's not forget about organized play. Any of you interested? If yes, WHo will me DM etc.?
