A very nice and unusual miniature…just like your convention! I’ll be at your door in time… :D

Cool! I want to come...but flight is expensive... >:(

Sure! Only £35.99 from Stansted return flight though. Luton and Gatwick is about the same. Manageable but not free. :)

Unusual is our trade! lol
Watch your inbox my friend!
-
Weird that you should have picked the same theme for that miniature as have Silversixx for his little hoopla.

Yes you're right. Fish has always been the theme of Horisont. ;)
Hardly matters though does it? I'll admit I was anticipating someone mentioning it... lol

I'm naturally suspicious towards people from Sweden! lol
Hope at least some of you make it (you can perhaps even cross the ice at that time... ).

You are right to, and I'll tell you why while letting you in on a secret: we nicked a major chunk of your territory some time ago without no one really seems to have noticed!
-
Love the mini :-*
And you can't really have too many fishermen!
-
A little extra bit of news:
Registration is now possible on the webpage. Registration form can be found in the top left side of the webpage (http://www.horisontesbjerg.dk/), here is the direct link (http://laesbjerg.dk/horisont/tilmelding_eng11.asp).
-
Note of warning: We can only take 400 people at the venue this year, so get signed up before it's too late! lol
-
As something new this year we will pick up and transport anyone arriving at Billund Airport.
Just let us know (Spicker or me).
-
More news:
For those wishing to stay at the venue overnight, we can now offer mattrasses for "added luxury". These are 10cm hard-foam mattrasses (own linnen required/recommended) that will cost DKK 40,- for the weekend (this is what we pay the local emergency response departement for them).
The registration form (http://laesbjerg.dk/horisont/tilmelding_eng11.asp) will shortly be updated with this optional extra.
-
This year we have a Games Designer challenge. Anyone wishing to participate is free to do so!
Rules has to be made by yourself. I think that's the only requirement.
So far the competition has spawned a football game
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn279/AsgerSG/Game%20Design/IMG_1474-400.jpg)
a game set during the probition period in the US (alternative history setting)
(http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/elThyge/VAS%20Reimperialism%20US/VRU053.jpg)
and even a game played with magnetic darts and arm wrestling!

THAT I have to see :o
I am trying to assemble a delegation from my club in Svendborg (Skjold), but I DO expect at least myself to attend this year (if nothing jinxes my plans). I haven't signed up, yet, but shall do as soon as my paycheck for October arrives. Promise.
I might bring my beginners' Song of Blades and Heroes setup (requires only about 2x2m place, including space for standing/sitting (a single small table of almost any size set up in a corner will do)), if I feel up to it* (will then include my elevated table with space for rules, snacks, drinks, etc. UNDER the playing surface). And if I really go to town, I may bring minis for a game of Strange Aeons on the same table. Even Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten, if I get a few more minis painted for that purpose.
I'll let you know some days in advance if I bring something - but as stated, it won't require much space if I do.
EDIT:
Do you have a flyer or something that I may hand out/hang in my club?
*Am under medication for a light medical depression; sometimes I'm feeling ready to take on the World, at other times I'm feeling down and outright exhausted - currently we have nice sunny weather around here, and that really helps, but I cannot anticipate my 'down' periods.
-
A bit of news:
The webpage has been updated, so information is a bit more accessible.
Also, we have included a 4th category to the Golden Fish competition: "Sculpt". As the name emplies, this will be a match on your skills with the modelling putty and sculpting tools. Criteria are:
- Minimum 75 % pure sculpt
- Maximum scale is 30 mm
-
Even more games have joined the ranks now!

That's one sorry attempt at a Dannebrog... >:D
I'll get my sign-up in this upcoming weekend - and if everything goes as planned, I'll be bringing 3 more guys in the family dropship.
I won't be participating with any demo-games - I'm far too busy searching the job-market, and really just need a couple of days' relaxation with games.
-

Yes, well, we can't all be achieved modelers. :)

Brilliant!
-
I think you should be pleased. Finally someone from a Nordic country was sober enough to get the cross in the dead centre of the flag! First time in history! lol
-
It's the Atheist version. :-X
-

Hey, I'm an atheist - and I don't mind crosses, half-moons, buddhas, yellow robes or anything else lol
-
Signed up, and Gringotts is set to transfer some gold by Dragon tomorrow!
Now I'm just waiting for the other guys to confirm their sign-up...
-
Just a note that the address this year is:
Sønderrishallen, Krebsens Kvarter 70, 6710 Esbjerg V.
And not the same as prior years. (same sort of building though)
Looking forward to seeing you all!
-
Really wish I could make this one, but I'm out of the country.
I'm certain that I can persuade you to entertain the idea of joining us next year then?
We're always eager to make new acquaintances and see their lead... lol
I hope Tony on the Rapid Fire game doesn't cause you too much trouble this year ...
Neither Tony nor Rapid Fire signed up this year I'm afraid. T'was a fine looking display last year though,.
-
Actually, Tony and Gert are attending with Rapid Fire. They just signed up by email and not by the registration form, why they are not on the list yet.
-
I'm almost geared up. Will bring 3 painted cowboys for small quick trial-runs of Fistful of Lead, along with counters, measuring tapes, dice, dicecups, and playing cards (for activation), maybe my Treshold Team, and a bunch of 'alternative' rulesets for people to skim, and probably a couple of boardgames for Friday evening (if it's okay to play boardgames with unpainted coloured pawns/minis?)...
I'm as excited as a 5-year old on 23rd of December.... lol
-
Great to hear!
Wonder how many more un-anounced games will show up... we'll have plenty of tables anyhow, and all are welcome :)
-
I really wish I could make it this year, but first week of advent is a bad time for me :(
Duncan

It's a bad time for everyone lol
Really, it's FAR too early this year - Advent should never occur outside December. Just doesn't feel right.
Sad to hear, you're not coming, but then maybe Kiel in 2012? I'll see if I can get that one squeezed into my budget, even if I'm unemployed at that time (which I hope, not).
-
Kiel is definately written in my diary. If you're going, there could be space in my car, if you're interested?

Absolutely - let's keep that possibility open - and if we could bunk at Doomhippie's place again, it would be great!

Had thought the same, but not asked him yet ;)

Oh my, what a great weekend. There were some impressive tables, either by chosen rules (crushed all opponents in armwrestling close combat) or figures/terrain (thanks for hooking me on 15mm sci-fi :o), location and food were splendid.
See you guys next year. Maybe we'll rent a truck to carry all of Frank's Sudan boards :D
-
Whole-heartily agreed!
I got hooked on Air War C21, and shall have to get me the rules and some planes. :D
I actually spent most of the weekend at that one table, but also managed to try TUSK (amother Wessex Games product, come to think of it... is there some red thread in this...? :?)

Thank you all for attending and making the event as enjoy-full for the crew as you did!
I would like to ask you the favor of giving us some feedback, both on the things we did well, but more importantly, on what we might improve for next year. In order to keep things nice and central, I have a thread on another forum for this purpose:
LINKY (http://www.powerfist.dk/forum/index.php?topic=53061.0)
Thank you in advance, your comments are much appreciated and I will ensure to pass on your kind words to the crew (once they wake up again).

I believe the bulk of the photos are still being sorted.. there was a photographer there and he probably shot a bit more than he deems worthy of putting on the net. o_o
We're looking forward to the 2012 Ramshackle Horisont miniature. lol

Thats good to know, I've been waiting patiently to get my yearly Horizont fix.
