Warhorse forum get-together

So is our pledge to realism still effective?
Then … I … am not dressing up as knight :disappointed:

But @jonischaf has to dress up as a sheep. A warsheep. :sheep:

We can still go to Parler’s the other evening or for breakfast or something. It looks really cool.

I´ll try
war…yes i think i could do that
sheep…maybe not so much xD

Hi guys, I’ve been away from these Forums more or less for the last two(!?!) weeks due to time constraints. =/

But I think this is a glorious idea and I would defintiely like to meet you guys in wonderful Praha (been there only once with my school class, but I remember it to be truly beautiful).

I would possibly only be able to arrive in prague Saturday morning, except the Friday in question would be a holiday in Germany. ^^

I’ll check what would be possible for me and then send the mail to ProkyBrambora.

Great, the more the merrier.

Also as I think about it, if you guys want to have a tour around the Prague let me know.
I am not best guide but I could prepare and plan some thematic stroll.

Some kind of walk around would be nice cause lots of us has never been there and would be nice to see city bit.

Hello again,
There was some developement in planning of this event (as i foreshadowed here)

I was talking with Dan Vávra @Hellboy when I met him at Celebrations of Jan Hus.
Firstly I was asking him whether he could come to this event or not which he replied that it could be possible. (Not 100% sure, just a possibility)
But then he proposed that this event could be taking place at Rataj Castle. Simply because it belongs to Church and right now it is not used for anything.
This is great idea and I was thrilled to hear about this. But it also has its disadvantages: You wont be able to see Prague and because it is not used it is not ideal place to stay at.

This being said there is even better option (proposed simultaneously by Dan and @TobiTobsen) , because Malešov stronghold is nearby it could be possible to stay there and do a tour around landscape of where the game will take part.

Malešov Stronghold belongs to guys who own FrinedlyBrewery (Malešov Brewery) which Warhorse is very friendly with.
Here take a look at the surroundings.

So I would like to ask everybody who showed interest in participating to email me, p.m. me or write here what he thinks.
Possibilities are:

  • Meeting in Prague (original plan)
  • Malešov Stronghold

I left out Rataje because Malešov is so much more convinient.

Have a nice day.

I would like to visit Malešov or Rataje. The game area sounds wonderful, and its the game which brought us together. But how does we get there? Is there a way to get to Rataje or Malešov from Prague? And how will we get to gaming area from Malešov?
I will see Prague anyway, because the bus will bring me there. But I doesn´t will have a city tour or something.

EDIT:
Ah… I see now, there is a train connection to Kutná Hora and from there to Kolín and from Kolín to Rataje. We could also visit Kutná Hora instead of Prague… but… damn, its small? Kutná Hora seems to be so small on the map, I ever thought this was a big town, because it was so important. Now I see Kutná Hora does not have half the people than my hometown Erkrath. And nowbody knows Erkrath…
And I see there seems also be a train connection from Prague to Kutná Hora.

Transportation from Prague to Malešov is not a problem (as you later proved)

As to tour around “gaming” area we can rent a minibus. So that also shouldn’t be a problem.
Only disadvantage is that the organisation will be more difficult (yay).

Right now I just need to know if there is an interest or not.

I am very interested in Malešov. Who needs a bar if we are living in a fucking brewery? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
And we would also have a lot of interesting places in Kutná Hora, like St. Barbara Church:

or famous Sedlec Ossuary, the church of bones:

We only need a nice restaurant I think…

To clear thing up.
Malešov Stronghold is not a brewery.
Actually, Malešov brewery does not have its own brewery yet. But it should be under a construction.

That does not mean that the beer would not be present (although i cannot promise anything as I did not contact Malešov guys yet)

There is still a lot of time, no need to hurry. If we are not able to get to Malešov Stronghold, than Rataje Castle would be also a great idea.
Even if this is only an empty building, it would be cool to stay in the real one for some days and see it later in the game. There is a restaurant in Ledečko, it seems to be not the best one and its small, but its there.

I’m all in for Malešov Stronghold, maybe we should first meet at Prague and from there move as one group to Malešov.

Yes of course we would go as a group.

The Rataje castle would be certainly interesting one. Not only because my friend is a priest in the parish. It is also reasonably close from Sazava, where is the Sazava monastery.
The castle (last time when I was there, cca two or three years ago) is not in exactly good state though. The original keep is still standing, but is not really accessible, and the main building (rebuilt in 17th century in baroque style) although nice is not in exactly good state, it is possible to live there, but there is only one tap of running water in the kitchen and it will be probably quite dusty. Also at the time I was there the castle was lived in by the local priest (who was bit of a recluse and skilled woodcarver), but since then he was relocated and my friend was sent to the Sazava parish, and I think that the castle was not lived in since.

Malesov and/or Prague are ok for me, especially because it means I don’t have to go anywhere far. Actually if the meeting was in Prague, I would be sleeping at home.

That sounds awesome! :smiley:
Although it probably looks very different now.
I trust the Czechs among us to choose a location otherwise, I just need a (cheap) place to sleep and will have fun everywhere. Malesov and Kutna Hora and the castle of Rataje all sound interesting! The church of bones is certainly something to stand in awe.

To put things in right place.

Right now we are talking about two possibilites where to have meeting:

  1. Prague
  2. Malešov

Because as @masozravapalma correctly said:

Oh it’s very far off, I see, I thought it was nearby so we could visit it.
Okay, then not Rataje. But then I’d rather go to Malesov than Prague.
We could look around Prague Friday after arrival and in the evening go to Malesov to the place where we are sleeping?
Which leads me to the question: IS there a place where we can sleep? I only see hotels and pensions in Kutna Hora.

There is still some confusion.

By no means I meant that we would not be able to visit Rataje.

Option Malešov roughly means:

  • Getting to Malešov, probably on Friday
  • Sleeping right in the Malešov Stronghold (cannot say for sure yet, as I did not tak with Malešvo guys)
  • On Saturday get into minibus and have a tour around game area (samopše, mrchojedy, rataje, sázava etc)
  • On Sunday getting back to prague and saying goodbye.

(there will be party somewhere in there)

Prague option is the old plan described in the first post.
