How about an international Taffer convention in Maastricht, summer 2008?

I knew my Benny costume would come in handy some day... :cheeky:

As I did my cloak! ^_^

A friend and I are planning on a sort of bicycle vacation in The Netherlands (I've read that the country is perfect for biking) and we would be happy to pop by. My friend isn't into Thief (or even gaming), though, so he might not enjoy socializing with a lot of taffers(?), but we might go separate ways once we get to where this meeting is to be held.

So, what are the chances for this International Taffer Convention actually taking place?

Wish I could go. :(

But I wouldn't mind seeing pics. Especially of the St.Pietersberg cave! :D

Consider visiting Gorinchem, too, the Dutch city which was the model for The City in Thief.
There are even Thief landmarks you can actually visit -- the Cathedral, Soulforge (the park), the docks, a few others IIRC. :D

Gorinchem is definitely on my list (my friend has no say in this :sly: ).

I'm mostly looking at Gloria to arrange this (since it was her plan in the first place) but I'd definetly come.

(And ashamed to admit I never visited Gorinchem even though I had plenty of opportunities.)

Considering that this thread is over three years old and to my knowledge, no actual plans were ever made, my guess would be "extremely slim". :(

I can see the similarities:

Even more so when you overlay it with the (http://i38.tinypic.com/r7jh2t.jpg) Thief maps. If I ever go, I'd print out this map to have a tourist's guide to Thief sites, sort of like a scavenger hunt (a rather arbitrary one, lol. Except for a few sites, most are just the building that happens to be on top of the OM site).
