We've been going since September 2009 now, running usually monthly on Friday nights. We take on board new players quite frequently, and most everyone finds us a friendly bunch. While we have roundabout 85 players "on the books" our usual Friday night turnout is 25-35. We've run games at the HRTA airsoft site in Swords, and when that closed recently we moved to Red Barn, also in Swords. It's a great time to climb aboard - we've just published our dates for the next six months and there are two "residential" weekends planned in July and September. There's no need to have played previously in order to attend these, so if Friday nights don't suit you, come along for the weekend. To give you an idea of what we do we've recently updated our website with some new photos from older events as well as a detailed recap of what's happened so far in the game. *What Is Midway?* Midway is an ongoing LARP set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is unlike other LARPs you might have played in that it uses both rubber swords (like the LT or other UK LRP games) and airsoft (like you might have used for weekend "skirmish" games) for combat resolution - combat isn't all we do, but there's a certain element of it inherent in the game. Some of our players hide behind a wall rather than get into combat. Others play full-time soldiers. *Where can I find out more?* Come and visit us online to check out rules at http://www.midwaylrp.com or follow us on Twitter &lt; at &gt;MidwayLRP - you can also find our discussion forum on IrishGaming.Com... http://www.irishgaming.com/forum If you have a specific question, fire it at the GM team - team-//bwoSXMXrr3oGB3hsPCZA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org We'd love to hear from you!

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&amp;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&amp;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.

This season promises to be a bit different, with a draft in place for the coaches to pick their team for the new season. The rules of the league are as follows.This league will use the Blood Bowl Competition Rules laid out here.&lt;http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m750496a_BB_Competition_Rules_Pack.pdf&gt; The following optional league rules are in effect:Each team's MVP in a match may be chosen by the coach of that team. All teams start with Fan Factor 5. Fan Factor never adds to team value. Special Play cards may be chosen as inducements at their listed price. They are available as a 0-4 choice. All coaches must register for the league by emailing the commissioner at creanero-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org with the subject "Blood Bowl League Registration." The draft for choice of teams will take place on October 20th at 9:30pm in the Dark Horse, with any new coaches picking first in a randomly determined order, followed by the last placed coach in the league in normal play, then the second last, and so on until the 5th-1st place coaches are determined by their order in the Playoffs. Any coaches who will not be able to attend the draft should send the commissioner a list of their preferences and will be assigned the highest remaining team on their list of preferences. Any coaches who wish to join the league after this date will have to pick from the remaining teams. League play will start on Thursday, November 3rd. Coaches may not play more than one match a week. All matches myst be registered by emailing the above address with the result including both Touchdown score and casualty score. League placement will take the following precedence: Points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw.) TD Difference, Casualty Difference, TD Scored, Casualties inflicted. In the event that teams are tied after this process, a playoff will be played between the two tied teams, with neither side gaining SPPs from that match. Should a coach wish to retire a team from the league, e.g. due to depletion from a match, they may pick a new team from the teams that remain. Should a coach withdraw from the league, any matches that remain to be played by that coach will be credited as 2-0TD, 2-0Cas results for any coaches that have not yet played against them. No SPPs or money will accrue from a match conceded in this manner. Should a coach concede a match in progress for any reason other than being reduced to 2 or fewer players, the winning coach will add 2 TD and 2 Cas to the score of the match in progress, and will be awarded both MVP awards, and both sides' winnings. Should a coach concede a match because their team has been depleted to 2 available players at the start of a drive, no further penalty will be awarded as per the LRB. A league table will be made available by means of a shared-access, but locked-for-editing googledocs spreadsheet. The update schedule for this spreadsheet may be arbitrary. Happy Hunting.

Now it's available to pre-order. (I'm the Irish designer, by the way, who persistently writes fringe games for roleplayers) Basically it's a mix of tarot, storytelling and exquisite corpse. Using cards and a pencil, you and your friends will tell a story, recording it on paper with doodles and glyphs. The complete game includes 72 illustrated oracle cards in a classy tuck box, with rules packed within. There will also be a more extensive rules PDF with "Director's Commentary," which is pretty exciting. If you'd like to learn more, I made a video of myself on IndieGoGo.

It's as comprehensive as you'd want a con website to be. Looks like a fairly full schedule for me this year. First and foremost, I've been wanting to take a crack at "Qin: The Warring States" for years. "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" is a real blast from the past. The world of Xenozoic Tales, here I come.

The Bring &amp; Buy Stand will reappear at Gaelcon this year. Our very own section of the Gaelcon site is here: http://www.gaelcon.com/gaelcon/charity/bring-a-buy-stand.html And you can read my special requests for things that are very likely to sell here: http://dukestreet.org/archives/004840.html A minimum of 20% of the sale price goes into the Gaelcon charity fund - and many people give more. Our leftover stock from previous years will be 100% for charity, too. So please do buy lots of things!
