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

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?

✨ 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!

✨ Ceol Ref Sheet ✨
The more sensible of the two (as much as a Púca can be), Ceol has been described as an 'elusive beast, very demure'. When asked about her whereabouts during the 1916 rising, the most she would tell us is that she was 'girlbossing' and refused to elaborate
