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(Continue reading)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.
