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 e</pre> Nick Huggins 2012-04-26T11:17:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/971 <pre>&lt;a href="http://discoveryfellowship.org/concrete/files/thumbnails/level2/tpfmngq.html"&gt; http://discoveryfellowship.org/concrete/files/thumbnails/level2/tpfmngq.html&lt;/a&gt; [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ </pre> Steve Meaney 2012-04-05T11:46:49 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/970 <pre>&lt;a href="http://barbandjeff.ca/packages/example_faq/single_pages/tpfmngq.html"&gt; http://barbandjeff.ca/packages/example_faq/single_pages/tpfmngq.html&lt;/a&gt; [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ </pre> Steve Meaney 2012-04-05T11:38:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/969 <pre>&lt;a href="http://jakelong.net/packages/premium_google_map/blocks/fjgvkd.html"&gt; http://jakelong.net/packages/premium_google_map/blocks/fjgvkd.html&lt;/a&gt; [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ </pre> Steve Meaney 2012-04-05T00:41:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/968 <pre>&lt;a href="http://erpcrm.shuhermann.ru/locales/ru/jrklre.html"&gt; http://erpcrm.shuhermann.ru/locales/ru/jrklre.html&lt;/a&gt; [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ </pre> Steve Meaney 2012-04-03T13:02:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/967 <pre>&lt;a href="http://fantasyarcane.com/bambooinvoice_089/invoices_temp/02efpk.html"&gt; http://fantasyarcane.com/bambooinvoice_089/invoices_temp/02efpk.html&lt;/a&gt; [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ </pre> Steve Meaney 2012-04-03T08:34:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/966 <pre>Hi, If you're reading this it's because your someone I ever sent an email to, and as a result got an email from me about a wonderful shopping opportunity last night.

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 als</pre> Anton Sweeney 2011-11-01T12:33:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.games.igaming/962 <pre>Gaelcon is pleased to be part of National Games Play Week!

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."

It's called Chronicles of Skin. I'm trying to raise some money to get it printed. Would you like to look at the project or tweet about it, by any chance?

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.

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!

Greetings and salam, worthy friends. Following the success of the inaugural IGA Pub Quiz, we've decided to get another one in before Gaelcon. Not only does it get us some more practice, it also gives us the opportunity to give away some hella swanky Con-related prizes. The venue is the same as before – the Dark Horse Inn on George's Quay, on Friday the 19th of the August. No tricks - no gimmicks - this is an 8-round Pub Quiz, with 8 questions per round. Teams of four are invited to contend for the top spot, prove their superiority, and win first prize; along with our rather astounding raffle top prize of a Gaelcon package worth 46 euro. Location: The Dark Horse Inn, 1 Georges Quay, Dublin Time: 7pm, Friday August 19th Entry fee: €20 per team of 4 The winning team will get €10 each, along with a set of unique Pub Quiz t-shirts – the wearing of which will get you into the Gaelcon Pub Quiz for free.

I'm shamelessly angling for your vote in this year's Ennie awards. There's a couple of Irish products, including the Laundry game by Gareth Hanrahan. Also, there's a good chance that *Hell for leather* can win Best Free Product in the Ennie awards this year. A really good chance. It's a complete game with 90 pages of illustrated text, it's been backed up by ridiculous amounts of playtesting, it has been edited by three different contributors, and it offers gamers something totally new, something very different from the competition. Also, there's only five nominees, so that's at least 4:1 odds, right? Do you think *Hell for Leather Free Edition* is good enough to win? Do you think it does something different enough and of high enough quality to deserve a vote? If you'd like to vote for the Ennies, here's the link: http://www.ennie-awards.com/vote/ *Please forward this on to anyone you know, post it in Buzz or Google+ or (if you can bare the damned thing) even Facebook.* * * * * *Seb</pre> Sebastian Hickey 2011-07-16T10:47:28 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.games.igaming
