Convention-Time

Ever since 1984 we made it a habit to have MYRA conventions in two separate areas or states, so that more members and newbies can attend. It was Brunswick (Braunschweig, Lower Saxony) and Tuebingen (Baden- Württemberg) for a while, then Nuremberg, Bavaria (Nürnberg) and Tübingen, then after the fall of the wall, Berlin and Tübingen, and finally Dortmund (North-Rhine Westphalia) and Tübingen. Which is what we'll be having this month.

The Dortmund Spring Convention is conveniently close for people coming from Belgium, Luxemburg or the Netherlands, plus the northwestern states of Germany. It takes place on the third weekend, March 17.-19. 2006 was the last one, expect another one the same weekend next year. Crash space available. Contact organizer Torsten Kohlstedt (VFM #006) for details and directions: ohneha@yahoo.de

The Tuebingen Myra-MeetUp is more accessible from the Alsatian parts of France (there's a regular bus from Strassburg) and Switzerland (and the south of Germany, like Bavaria). It takes place on the fifth weekend starting March 31st - April 2nd in Tuebingen-Bebenhausen. Crash space and some guest beds available on request. A tour of the medieval monastery and the Ritter Sport chocolate factory can and possibly will be arranged. The regular annual meeting will follow on September 08-10 in Tübingen. Contact organizer Wolfgang G. Wettach (VFM #001) for details and directions: karcanon@projektmyra.de

Both events will have D20-based official campaign roleplaying on Myra, lots of face2face diplomacy and extensive plotting of greater story lines. Dortmund may also be the place to organize a car-pool to go to Tuebingen two weeks later. Tuebingen is also the place and time to congratulate and celebrate with Myra-founder Wolfgang G. Wettach both his birthday and the competion of his final exams for his academic degree in medieval language, literature and history.
