⚒ [A-RP Event] Ironforge Winter Craft Fest 2019

The seasonal Ironforge Craft Fest is back once again, and looking for vendors! Last time we filled the entire Great Forge! Let’s do it again!!!

What: The Dwarven clans of Khaz Modan, as well as other brothers and sisters of the Alliance, wish to host an artisan’s festival to honor centuries of fine craftsmanship! This will be the Winter installment in this seasonal event!

Not a Dwarf? No problem! All are welcome to join!

When: January 19th 2019, 6-9 PST. Opening ceremonies will take place outside the “Cask and Anvil” next to the flight path at 6pm.

Where: The Great Forge of Ironforge, of course!

Contacts: You can message Bathildis, Darkdraft, or Modarin in game at any point or send your request via in-game mail! We can also get you in our Discord channel!

What you can do:
As a visitor, you are welcome to roam around the festival grounds, enjoy the night atmosphere and some good casual RP! Come by and shop around, purchase fine goods from master craftsmen and women around the forge. Enjoy great music, drink, and food! Even register to participate in any sub-events we may have (like a dueling tournament or costume contest).

As a vendor, you can register for a booth to show and sell your wares! We like to spread everyone out along the outer ring of the Great Forge, allowing tons of space for different players to form small gatherings. Blacksmiths, engineers, scribes, even chemists and cooks are welcome!

If you can craft something, wish to take on an apprentice, or teach your trade, you can register. Don’t worry, there are no fees or anything! We just want to keep track of how many people want to fill this position. Please get your booth approved beforehand!

As an entertainer, you can claim a spot to put on your act. Whether you are a bard, have an show, or wish to provide games for others to play, you’re welcome to fill this role! We usually have a bard wandering around the festival playing actual music using addons like TRP3 Extended, so this is really just limited to creativity.

We definitely plan to spread you guys out so that you’re not being overwhelmed by RP chatter, so it’s very important that we get you set-up in a spot early!

If you don’t want to do any of these things, but wish to be a part of the festival, you are welcome to volunteer to help out where/when it is needed. If you wish to get involved in organizing the event, please contact Bathildis in game! I look forward hearing from you!

PS: If you use the addon TRP3 Extended, you’ll also be in good company at this event. We’ll have special wares available (I have a full bar, as well as a limited edition Festival Brew), as well as at least one bard playing live music throughout part of the event.

If you are interested in signing up as a vendor, entertainer, or volunteer, please fill out a registration form! Spot selection is handled in the order that forms are received.

Oof, I would so bring my Draenei to this and take a both but I’ll be on vacation that weekend. I wish you all the best of luck with this amazing sounding event.

Still plenty of room for booths and plenty of time to apply for one!

Submitted an application.

The Teahouse is teaming up with Jingles to offer some uniquely spicy foods along with the Winter beverage menu. Those of you have attended the Literary Conclave, the Friday night market on the wharf in SW, or the semi-monthly Teahouse events know what “uniquely” means.

I was out of town for the holiday. The vendor list and booth locations are now updated! 16 vendors in 15 locations! This is going to be our biggest yet!

How do we see the current list/location?

On the form, there’s a link to a google sheet.

Once you’ve filled out the form the only way I can see to access that is to fill out at least the first part of the form over again. Which is doable, but isn’t there an easier way?

Can you not view/edit your response? It should appear at the bottom. If not, just reach out via Discord and I’ll share the link with you! Ironstout#0154

Finally remembered to go check this sheet! If I’ve already applied for the Flask I can’t remember for the life of me, but I’m glad to see such a huge turnout! Can’t wait to see how everyone’s going to fit into the Great Forge this time! That’s gonna be so many people!

(the spreadsheet for vendor placement wasn’t working for me, so if anything, disregard that bit.)

I’m amazed! There’s only one booth spot and one stage left on the current map! We’ll have to make more if there are more sign-ups! The Great Forge is gonna be packed!

Here’s the current map:

This was SO MUCH FUN! It’s been forever since I got to hang out at a festival/market as an attendee instead of a host! I hope Getti didn’t rustle too many feathers out there, she can be a bit brash. :wink:

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful evening!
