How it works is I have a website, I list upcoming Irish cons on it.
To make it on the list you have to
A: Tell me! Particularly if you're new or returning after a few years hiatus.
B: Have a confirmed venue
This last is why some of the older, reasonably reliable conventions aren't auto listed

In the background is a large ringed planet, the outline of the planet encircling them. Across the top reads ‘Smofcon 42' and across the bottom upside down is ‘Don’t panic!’. END ID]

If you are interested in gaming, usually of the board-type variety, our community is open to you. You do not need to have experience, you do not need to own 20+ different sets of dice (they call to me), and you do not need to have played in any RPG to be a part of our community.

Tested for toughness! How did our Dublin2029 t-shirts get through their big day out at Thorpe Park?

We’re pleased to hear they passed with flying (and sometimes damp) colours, and were found to be “super comfy, even after being soaked to the bone”. Take us with you next time?
A selfie-style photo of Emily and Andrew smiling at the camera while wearing Dublin2029 tshirts. They are outdoors on a sunny day and a rollercoaster scaffold can be seen in the background. Emily is a white woman with short auburn hair and rose-tinted shades, and is wearing an aqua-blue short-sleeved tshirt with the Dublin2029 logo. Andrew is a white man with a salt and pepper beard, brown hair and shades on, and he is wearing a forest green short-sleeved tshirt with the Dublin2029 logo. The logo shows a figure poised to step into a new world in a large D written in old celtic style script. The blue and green reflects both Dublin's and Ireland's colours. Underneath the bid logo text is white text reading "Dublin 2029, our crossroads lit by stories and stars" A photo of Emily and Andrew, now significantly more wet after one of the rides. A rollercoaster photo of Emily and Andrew, holding onto a red padded harness strapping them into their seats. The branding on the photo reads 'Nemesis Inferno' in fiery letters A rollercoaster photo of Emily and Andrew on the Walking Dead ride, holding onto the bar in front of their seat. The right of the photo is the profile of a zombie head.

Did you catch us at Luncon/Swecon last month? We had a great time at the convention and meeting all of you! And we were also at 3 great Irish events - Octocon, Gaelcon and the Irish Discworld Con.

Here’s our very own Thomas Rechtenwald repping Berlin’s Eurocon and our Dublin Worldcon - hard work!

✨ Character Sheet Bonus ✨

There's a great deal more to the Púca that we discovered while documenting them. A single character sheet can't really do shapeshifters justice - so here's some more tips we'd like to share!
