Yo, The London meet-up last year was great but tough on my wallet just to play some Codex. Because I'm cheap like that, I'll snatch it away and move it to my home area! HA! Luckily, I can hide my ulterior motive behind the argument that two major international conventions happen here that I am sure many Europeans among you are planning to visit anyway: SPIEL in Essen in one of the world's major trade fair for tabletop games and I know for a fact that Star Slayer and Plum are regulars. Essen is not quite close to my home town -about 45 minutes by train- but maybe I could try to organize a location there. Or we play in the lobby of someone's hotel? However, I could see people being more hype to play their new acquisitions, which would also be cool but maybe miss the point a bit? In any case, let's at least play some Yomi at the fair. That's transportable enough. The other major event is Gamescom in Cologne which is a lot closer to my home town. So if anybody is planning to visit, we could even play at my space (my table can barely fit 6). Alternatively, I could try to find a spot in Cologne. At the very least, I know the local gaming store. ;-) So let me know what you think? Anyone planning to visit either event? I have only the vaguest of plans but that's why I'm posting early.

Hey, we HAD a meetup last year. It's just that you and Star Slayer somehow managed to miss each other!
I don't yet know what my plans are, given that I may or may not be called upon to help my friends. I'm tempted to just come along as a civilian though and get to enjoy it for myself this time around

Great idea, Zejety!
Unfortunately, I am on vacation in Denmark this year and the only day of the Spiel that I can attend is the Sunday.
Maybe I visit the Gamescom though? I've never been there, because I am not that much into video games anymore. Still, not something that I would rule out.
I'll keep this suggestion in mind and will report back if I can make it to one of these potential meetings.

I don't think I'll be able to make either *but* my girlfriends sister now lives in cologne so there's a pretty good chance I could make it out to see you over the next year and a bit (her expected length of stay there)

WHile i'd love to have you here, I'd personally advice against going to GamesCom on the public days. Maybe it has just lost its novelty to me, but I feel like it's filled with poeple to the point of not being enjoyable anymore. If you have an excuse to show up on the press/industry member day, then it's very much worth it! Regardless, my "offers" still stand. I would love to meet some people and play some Sirlin Games.

I will most likely not make it to GamesCom, but I will be at the Spiel on Sunday.
(If I go to Games Com after all, I will post about it a few days prior.)
And thank you gain for your offer! We definitely have to meet at some point.

Sorry, I won't make it to GamesCom this week. But have fun there, Zejety!

Every time I see this thread my head starts playing the theme tune "West Rhine-a-phalia born and raised, on the playground was where I spent most of my days...". Yes, I know that's not the name of the place, but I can't stop it

I heard that Sabaton was at the Gamescom! And Merkel, too.
