Gaelcon 2011
Hi folks,
I just want to give a public well-deserved thanks to this year's Gaelcon
committee (and of course staff, writers, GMs, traders, etc!).
Considering the committee had less than a week from the initial flooding
and the news that an alternative venue needed to be found, through to the
registration desk opening, everything seemed to go very smoothly indeed
from this attendee's side of the desk.
Highlights of the con for me (being biased) were my son, in his first ever
non-D&D4E rpg, finding out what happens when you're playing Star Wars and
roll a botch when trying to throw a grenade (and that game had a huge
amount of botch rolls!), and in his second ever non-D&D rpg, him helping to
kill Churchill by the simple expedient of turning into a statue to block
the exit from a lift. (It was his idea for his ultra-dense stone-form
superhero (well, more accurately, Nazi super-soldier) to be doing
jazzhands...)
I also got to play in a scenario which must take the prize for teh msot
tpyos pre chin
I also have a suggestion for an outdoor LARP next year. The scenario will
run from about 1am Monday morning. Everyone needs to be in-costume -
nighttime city camo. The person who most creatively re-routes the Dublin
City Marathon away from the con venue wins...
Cheers,
A.
