Hello!

Today marks the start of the countdown: 4 months to go until the Spanish Championship 2025 in Manresa.
What does this mean? Well, a weekly update.

Let’s start with the main point: why go to Manresa to celebrate this great weekend?
The motivation to run it in Catalonia, Spain, was strong; we just had to choose the final location. The former Prince of the city of Manresa suggested a contact. I heard it was a Vampire from the Assamite Clan who told him about the legend of Montse. Who am I to get involved in these rumors? I am Rémi, from the Association Khan Jugar of Barcelona. I am involved in promoting the weekend. I played my first tournament with the Assamite Starter in 2001 in Lyon, France, before becoming Prince of this great city for a few years. David has been playing for 3 years and organizes both competitive and rookie tournaments, as a good Prince should. He learned to play in Manresa, it can’t be a coincidence. Marc, Archbishop of Barcelona, is a veteran, since the Dark Ages? Who knows? They are the true origin of the project. Don't forget the support of Arnau, National Coordinator of Spain, represents the Association Conclave Ibérico.

Next Friday, I will tell you more about the event. I have a few free nights to learn more about Montse, who never accepted the new name “Banu Haquim”.

¡A Jugar!

Hello!

Today is Friday and it's time for a new entry to celebrate the Spanish Championship of VTES.

You may have already seen the General Planning, let's double check it then we will talk about the venue.
Let's go there!

General Planning:

Saturday 28:
Main Tournament: 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
3 rounds with final, Champion will be named before dinner.
Side Events: more VTES games, board games, music and bar.
Closing time: 12:00 AM

Sunday 29:
Second Tournament: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Only 2 rounds with final to let travelers know the results before leaving.
Closing time: 6:30 PM.
Every service will be available all day long and each side event has prize support.
Now, what makes this celebration a unique event? Several things:

Let's talk about the venue:
The event will be held in a nightclub, la Sala WOW, we will divide the large space into zones so that everyone, including the organizing team, can enjoy to the fullest. We will have an area with tables to play VTES, a bar with tables to analyze games. This celebration is first a space to socialize and share, and then an opportunity to crown champions.
We will add a Guest Artists area: We will be able to meet in person artists related to our common hobby. There will be interviews and surprises, so you can send us your questions to be included in our list.
The event t-shirt will be given to those who register before April.
The accommodation offers we negotiated are also closed at the end of the March.

As promised, I've gotten more about Montse, so I'm counting on you to follow through with our pact and register soon for the weekend.
She is or was, I'm not sure yet, a sorceress of a powerful Assamites bloodline. She is linked to the construction of the Monastery of Montserrat, located on the outskirts of Manresa. This place located on a mountain in the shape of a saw has a special aura for those who will feel it; it is perfect for simple hiking and exploration. We advance that area has more points of interest nearby as La Seu de Manresa, L'Agulla Park and Cardona Salt Mines.

See you next Friday with more information about March 31 that you don't want to miss.

¡A Jugar!

Hello!
The week is going forward, and it's time for a new post to celebrate the weekend of June 28th and 29th, 2025 with a taste of VTES. Let's get straight to the point.

April 30th is the last day to receive the full Welcome Pack with your registration. From April onwards, it will no longer include t-shirts. We recommend contacting by email to confirm the contents of your own pack.

What's in the the Welcome Pack?
- Promo spoilers: Information Highway, Piper, Anarch Convert, Anarch Troublemaker, Mythic Form, Direct Intervention, Theo Bell, .44 Magnum, Archon Investigation & Creeping Sabotage.
- An exclusive playmat illustrated by Ken Meyer JR and produced by Infernal Forge.
- A t-shirt, just ask for the size you pefer, we have all genders sizes?

Pictures are available on the Khan Jugar webpage: sites.google.com/view/khanjugar/Actividad-2025/vtes-nacional-de-manresa-2025/Nacional-VTES-2025-EN

Notes:
- From May onwards, there will be no more t-shirts.
- From June onwards, there will be no more playmats.
- Registration deadline: Saturday, June 21st.

After these spoilers, it's time for the Montse case.
We already know she is linked to the Monastery of Montserrat, right? It's more than that, she IS the taboo origin of this place. What secrets does she keep to be hidden and supervised? Is she locked up or just resting?
I can't help but think “What lies eternally is not dead”.
If you have any knowledge about that myth, either because your grandmother told you about her or because you heard the legend from some drunk in a bar, please tell us about it.

See you next week for more information and guests.

Good Luck everyone for the Portuguese Championship this weekend!

Hello!

Today we have the weekly news update for the weekend of June 28 & 29 in Manresa.
We have a bombshell news: tomorrow, an interview with Marc and David on Twitch. Let's see.

On Sunday, March 23 at 9 PM, Manresa time - CET, the "Bleed de 3" team, a Spanish podcast, will interview the Archbishop of Barcelona and the Baron of Berga in Spanish, where they will share many interesting things you need to know about the Spanish Championship 2025 in Manresa.
www.twitch.tv/bleeddetres

Who knows? Maybe they will reveal Montse's face...

See you next week to wrap up March with the debriefing of the interview.

¡A Jugar!

Hello!

We say goodbye to March with a selection of images and exciting updates. Last Sunday, 23 of March, the two people responsible for the initial project of the National 2025 in Manresa were interviewed on the podcast "BleedDeTres."

During the interview, they shared some interesting details, which we’ll recap below.
First, they revealed Montse’s design, an exclusive illustration that will feature on the Welcome Pack t-shirts.

As I’ve mentioned in recent weeks, and as they confirmed once again, we should prepare for a weekend full of VTES spirit, which goes far beyond just a tournament. It will be an ideal space to share, compete, and enjoy with ease. They emphasized the importance of the Ahrimane area: a serene spot perfect for seeking refuge in case of discomfort during the event.

They also presented the weekend’s poster, which continues to evolve as new sponsorship agreements are finalized. This poster also features the artwork provided by Ken Meyer JR, which will be used for the Welcome Pack playmat.

Pictures are available on the Khan Jugar webpage: sites.google.com/view/khanjugar/Actividad-2025/vtes-nacional-de-manresa-2025/Nacional-VTES-2025-EN

Stay tuned for more information soon.
