We are on the road. PMed some info if you want to coordinate.
Wow, that's awesome!
As if PenCon, Ravenwood LFG - Zenke Edition, and RavenCon weren't enough (they weren't!), Ravenwood Castle is also going to be host to the Ice and Fire Convention, dedicated to all things George R. R. Martin.
The organizers are planning a number of events, including a potential Skype interview with or personal visit by Mr. Martin himself, his schedule allowing.
While the convention will be held at Ravenwood Castle, it is being planned and conducted by a non-affiliated George R. R. Martin fan group. If you are interested in attending, please visit their website at http://iceandfireconvention.webs.com/ for registration details.
This could grow into something huge over the years. Sweet to have it over there

You and your castle are too awesome. Every time you post something I want to be irresponsible and spend all my money on a vacation to Ravenwood.
So my wife and I stayed at Ravenwood this past weekend. It was our best B&B experience, ever (granted, we've stayed at a grand total of five B&Bs). The staff, MonoCheli and his wife, were awesome. The grounds and decor were beautiful. The food was excellent. And there was beer.
One note (and this has been mentioned before), for those of you planning to head there, plan ahead in detail what you want to do and print it out to bring with you. Through no fault of Teneman or MonoCheli, there is no wifi or cell access at the castle. My usual way to travel is to make a brief list of things to do and do more digging online through my phone or tablet when we get there. You can't do this this there.
I can't recommend this place enough. I don't have a lot of time at the moment to type more but if you have additonal questions, let me know. It was an incredible time.
stayed at a castle and it was cool
Totally agree with everything Nevin73 said. We were also there this past weekend (wife and I) and it was a lot of fun. We also do our traveling by sketching out some things we want to do, then confirming plans by getting coordinates/addresses/details online the night before for the most part. Being totally cut off from the internet and cell service was not an issue for the most part, but coming up with plans on the fly was a bit more challenging.
We were able to hook into wifi by heading over to Old Man's Cave and using the open wifi at the visitor's center. It was about 10 minutes from the castle, and the cave is well worth the visit.
The castle was pretty cool, and now I can say I've played board games in a castle. The food was fantastic, and there's something to be said about waking up to the smell of a home cooked meal downstairs. The restaurants we stopped at in the area were also great. One more word of advice, be prepared for dirt/gravel roads, and steep inclines.
We will be going back.
Also, we got to meet up with Nevin73 and his wife, as well as MonoCheli and his. My wife was skeptical when I told her there would be GWJers there, but when she found out that the forum members here are basically like the rest of our friends it turned out to be great.
It was great to meet you guys and your wifes. Goodjers are just great and I love meeting them whenever I have the opportunity. I enjoyed our talks and the games. I hope you manage to find your way back soon.
Glad you and Nevin both had fun, just wish I could have been there to meet you guys!
You would have gotten beat in Small World by mumford's wife just like the rest of us. I bet she is still gloating about that isn't she.
I beat you and your 'professional' gaming friends! I thought you guys would be good at games!

Looking forward to dinner in the castle!

I am impressed most don't. I may have to add the second floor of Spinster to the list of semi-reception.
I know you started selling Pathfinder products, but do you guys sell dice as well? I just moved and my dice bag is lost in the back of a storage unit so I'm going to need to buy a set for the Pathfinder game at Pencon. I was going to go to my local game store, but if you guys have it at the castle I'd rather just pick a set up there so you guys get the cash. Also, do you guys take debit cards? If not I want to make sure I've got plenty of cash before Pencon.
w00t! I should be good to go then. Thanks Teneman!
Teneman beat me to the punch but...
I can confirm that the dice are beautiful. I had to resist buying more than one set.

No problem. And I'd love to sell you a set of Ravenwood dice, but if you just need dice for one game I'm sure I can come up with a set to lend you as well.
Yeah I would say Teneman and his family have a "problem" with buying dice.
Give us some dice pron. Can you set them out, and tell us which they are?
Sad that the D6 wasn't customizable with European/Arabic numerals (I assume).
First row blue, and last row jade look like the winners.

How much money should I bring with me to PenCon? NVM you will have my credit card on file.
