Al's trans-America plans inspired me to start a similar thread.

If all goes as planned, I'll be in northern Europe from about August for a year or so.

I'd absolutely love to hook up with a few of the UK guys for some intense gaming/drinking.

What're the odds we can get a group together in a cool, spooky old castle for 2-3 nights and go more or less non-stop.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking killjoy, red_bus, obiter. Are you guys up for it? And anyone else have the possibility to join us?

Could be abso-freakin-lutely awesome!

Let mirth prevail!

Sounds great. I know of a few castles/manors a group of us could game in. I reckon we could probably get five or six of us together. Would be pretty cool.

Not to mention getting a group together and having a TP party at the cougie asylum

Free case of Shiner to anyone who puts some crap in a bag, lights it on fire, and leaves it on Cougie's doorstep after ringing the doorbell....

Seriously, it would be interesting to have someone scout cougarrinard's lair and send us some photos.

I mean...not to harrass the cougmeister...but just because he is the Dr. Evil of game collecting.....a legend of a sort.

Imagine cougar's astonishment as Acaeum operatives pop in on him for a photo op! Too cool!

I'm likely to be in Amsterdam in the fall for work, for a week of work, and then a week of fun and travel, hopefully.

I picture cougarrindard's surprised face looking much like the cougar miniature that was auctioned off last month.

At some point in the next 9 to 18 months, there is a good chance I will be moving to Vienna. If it is sooner, I would definitely be in for a role playing weekend in a spooky castle somewhere. Depends how quickly I can knock off this PhD. I am spending too much time on my hobby and too little time on my work.

hey, that sounds cool. I'm in the Midlands, would love to meet up with folks.

Mount Celestia doesn't want me and Baator's afraid I'll take over.

I'll be in Italy in early May for a while with Mrs. Marsh, taking some time to be with ourselves.

Regards,

Stephen

We have a trust called the Landmark Trust which rescues historic buildings and castles, and pays for all the restoration costs by renting them out (like, for example, to a group of role-playing fanatics, keen on a 36 hour D&D marathon...)

http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/

Has some good venues.
