Horisont - miniature gaming convention in Denmark 28-29 november.

[Dr. The Viking]

Hi there,

As a first - to my knowledge - someone is actually making a miniature gaming convention in DK.

There's no word on the scale of things yet, but anyone wishing to participate in anyway (showing games, just attending, whatever) should contact: Jakob Spicker at jakobspicker "weird a" gmail.com with a topic title called "Horisont" 

Date: saturday 28. and sunday 29. november 2009
Location: Rørkjærhallen in Esbjerg

I'm not associated with the planning group in question... just being very enthusiastic about the project!

I have to say I'm really positive about it. Unfortunately I tend to work weekends, so I'll have to see if I can manage to get myself free from work, so please cross your figures that it'll happen. I'm going to try and get someone the guys from 2MD (Vejle) to come along its not too far from us.

[Spicker]

Well, since I'm mentioned in here, I better post something myself.

Yes, it's true that we are working on a gaming convention in Esbjerg, Denmark this fall (28^tn and 29^th of November). It is however not true, that Thorbjørn is not associated with the planning group, as he most likely will be named 2iC and Mid-Jutland coordinator for this thing

We hope to have a site up soon with more info on the scale and format of the convention.

As Thorbjørn wrote, anyone interested is more than welcome to contact me pr. mail (horisont.esbjerg "at" gmail.com or jakobspicker "at" gmail.com).

For those of you outside Denmark, Esbjerg is located to the south-west of Denmark, not very far from the German-Danish border. The English-Danish ferry harbours at Esbjerg and it is even possible to fly directly to Esbjerg. Alternatively the drive from Billund (central Danish airport) is about 45 minutes.

Interesting!

[Zafarelli]

Hmm, only two and a half hour drive from here. Interesting, very interesting.

[Spicker]

A bit more info from me. Thought it would be a good idea, after an email I recieved from Karsten.

There will be accomodations available to the participants of the convention. Not a 5-star hotel or anything like that, but we have been able to book the school next to the gym, where you can sleep in the class rooms (remember to bring sleeping bag & something to sleep on). Due to cleaning expenses for the school, we have to charge a bit for participation (so far around DKK 50 or approximately € 6.75). The calssrooms are open both Friday-to-Saturday and Saturday-to-Sunday nights.

Food will be provided at a resonable price from a local diner. When the homepage is up, you will be able to choose from several different meals including vegetarian.

I hope that the fact, that you don't have to find accomodations for yourselves will convince more of you to come up here. This is the first convention of its kind in Denmark, so we hope it will be a success.


If you have any wishes for what you want to see, hear or play, please let me know. I have personally not participated in a convention like this, so I'm open for suggestions of all kinds. Feel free to write to me on horisont.esbjerg "at" gmail.com
Homepage and more info on the format will follow soon(ish).

Just a warning to the arranging people:

DON'T let Grimm and Vikotnik lead any German, Prussian or derivatives thereof forces...

The amazing webpage about Horisont, should be coming to a pc near you around July the 1st

[Spicker]

Amazing might be a big word about the homepage, but it is now up and running.

There will be a few modifications along the way (pictures and so forth), but the basics are in place.

Find the page here: Horisont-Esbjerg


Added Bonus:
Horisont needs a logo. If you have an idea, please contact us/me with the idea - sometimes it even pays off to be creative...

That's easy: The silhouette of Esbjerg's water tower with King Kong gazing out into the sunset over the North Sea....

Partial threadomancy... I know... but:


Homepage has been updated with some more games...



@Argonor: If you happen to read this: Your idea for the logo has been used - thanks for the input.

[Spicker]

OK... a bit more for you

For those thinking of attending: We need input on what to offer for dinner Saturday evening. I have created a poll on the Danish forum, where the main debates for the event are (Sorry for linking to a external forum):
