OK, this thread is just to introduce yourself and say you are planning to come, as the people are very much a feature of the event.

I'll start - I'm CJ, a roleplayer of many years, and one of the authors of The Mysteries Revised Edition (TMRE). I have also written for other games, including Call of Cthulhu. A few years back I created a fun Ars Magica based boardgame I am keen to try out on anyone interested, and as the author of several well known freeforms I will be writing the freeform for the Saturday afternoon slot (optional but fun!)

As the event instigator do pm me with any questions, or just ask on here. In real life I am a TV ghosthunter and writer...

Hi folks!

I'm Kevin Sides, AKA arsvim. I tend to lurk on the berklist for Ars, If you check the front of the 5th Ed main book, you'll find me under playtesters, and I'm an IT and Sci-Fi Geek. I am not a medieval historian so don't ask anything like that to me! Very Happy

I've been roped into helping CJ out, and will be running around Cheltenham to sort out locations and stuff, I can see it coming. Rolling Eyes

My turn.

I'm Matt Ryan. I stared playing Ars Magica right before the third edition came out. My first magus was a necromancer with a grand total of three Virtues and three Flaws. I started contributing as an author with Living Legends, the last (I think) of the fourth edition books, by answering the Open Call for that book. Since then, I've been included in several projects, and am responsible for Houses Bonisagus and Verditius. Hate original research? Blame me.

I live in Ithaca, New York, which is pretty close to the middle of the state. My family has been here for generations, since the Revolutionary War, a big messy mix of Irish and English ancestors. A colorful family history of malcontents, priests, and policemen.

CJ's Grand Tribunal sounds like too much fun to miss. It's a 16 hour flight (apparently), but what's a day in the air for a weekend of Ars mayhem? Count me in!

I'm Yannick Loitière (a.k.a. Fruny). I played a Merinita in a 3rd edition campaign that ran weekly for two years until Wizard's of the Coast's thrice-cursed card game killed it.

I'm just back from spending seven years in the US and have returned to a tiny, tiny village in the north of France, near Laon. The village is located in a small natural preserve (wetlands) and features a 13th century church (right outside my bedroom window), whose bells, ringing the hours, usually wake me up in the morning.

I'm currently unemployed (MS in Comp. Sci. and in Engineering) but dearly hope that whatever job I do manage to find won't prevent me from attending the Grand Tribunal.

I have every intention of being there.

Neil Taylor told me about his favourite RPG just as 4th edition was about to come out, so I agreed to try it, joining his brand new saga. I played in Saxum Caribetum right through the life of 4th edition and the development of 5th edition.

I took on the job of copy editor for Hermes Portal when it started, and wrote a couple of things for that. Then I sent stuff in when there were Atlas Open Calls for Living Lore, vis sources for Covenants, and characters for Living Covenant, and was lucky enough to have a few accepted. My name is one of those on the cover of City & Guild.

I've helped to run conventions and know how much hard work it can be, so am extremely grateful to CJ for volunteering to set up this exciting event.

I'm Barry. I've been playing ArM for about 15 years when my first GM ran Stormrider and have been on and lurking around the fringes of the berklist for about ten years, I think. I don't get to play Ars too often, but over the years have been involved in a couple of online saga's. I'm hoping to drag along three four or maybe more, people that are all into Ars Magica. I'll definitely be there as this is two days before my birthday so seems like an ideal way of giving myself a birthday present Smile

Hi there!

My name is Jeppe. I've amassed Ars books since the 3rd edition, I run a 5th edition saga on its 3rd year (started out as 4th), but have nothing to my name in terms of Ars.

I work as an officer in the Fire & Rescue service and instructor at the Fire & Rescue Academy. But I'm also trying to study at same time -History and political science- with mixed (prolonged) success. I have a keen interest in international affairs, development and humanitarian aid - having travelled the world working with the Red Cross and United Nations. Something I hope to do for longer stretches once I get around to finishing university.

I live in Aarhus, Denmark and I really really hope to be able to attend this fantastic venue! And I'll also be trying to persuade my fellow troupe members to come along. I terms of cons I often prefer alternative or experimenting roleplaying - with focus on story and/or medium and genres rather than system (if any), but the chance to go to an international venue is too big a chance, especially since it'll be people all loving Ars from whom to get inspiration and a broadening of horizons!

Kind Regards,

Jeppe

P.S.: I recieve the Berklist lurking but have ever lessening inclination towards getting actively involved, but some might have met my not-so-lurky Furion-alter ego over at the Atlas' Forum.

Subject to life, the universe and everything not getting in the way I plan to attend, travelling from the far distant tribunal that is Berkshire.
