...is keen to run:

• Three Sixteen (playtest)
• Best Friends

...and willing to run a host on other games, depending on who is not there in Dublin.

Pick from:
[Games] 1001 Nights, Mob Justice, Contenders, a|state
[Playtests] A Reason To Murder, Virtue & Valour, Duty & Honour

I'm not 100% sure, yet, but I'm planning on going.

I'd happily run something. Probably Lacuna.

Graham

...would be cool.

I don't know if I told you that I talked to Jared at GenCon and there is a possibility he might be at DragonMeet in December (well, I put him and Angus in touch about it and last I saw they were talking it over). Obviously, I mentioned that you are highly impressed by Lacuna and would probably be playing it and talking about it in the Indie scene over here.

So, yes, you should come and run Lacuna if at all possible!

I'm hoping to go, too.

I'll have the usual couple of things to playtest. And I'd like to try Poison'd, Polaris and possibly a little Contenders.

I've spoken to Adam already, who's interested in seeing TSOY run too.

Joe.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to Gaelcon this year - I'll be in the first few weeks of my new job and probably unable to take holiday :-( Maybe next time!

For a variety of reasons, my chances of getting to Gaelcon just shot up by an awful lot.

Which is cool.

If I do I will brings some stuff to run.

Probably:

Umläut (playtest ish)
Agon
Contenders
Some other stuff

I wont be going, planning a trip to germany about the same time, but I would be grateful for someone to run MJ. Also I should have a playtest doc for reel adventures going by then.

Cheers

Iain

Mob Justice now available!

'The Giant Brain':Small games, big ideas.

I should be along to Gaelcon

I'll run some of these games:
+ Piledrivers & Powerbombs
+ Contenders (unless other people have it covered)
+ Swansong
+ Dead of Night

Maybe playtests of Labyrinths & Lycanthropes or Dragon vs Gun.

Prince of Darkness Games
Rock N' Role-Play....

Hmm, my personal finance situation says: "No!"

But I'd like to go, and I can demo Bliss Stage, Death's Door, Sorcerer and indeed many more depending on what we need.

Speed King early playtest is not impossible either.

How to get there cheaply and how to find cheapass accomodation?

Per
http://darkplaces.squarespace.com

Traditionally, people seeking cheap digs for Gaelcon (like me) have clubbed together to buy out a whole dorm in a youth hostel. I did that last year, and my expenses were nominal.

Flights should be booked ASAP, as they go up regularly. Mine came in at £50 when I bought the tickets about a week and a half ago, but I did pay extra for a checked bag in case I play in a wargame tourney and need my armies.

And if I can get some practice in before hand, I'd be quite happy to help out running Dust Devils or Cold City. I can't say any games I've written are anywhere near playable, and I doubt they will be before Gaelcon.

Ah, wondering about responses to e-mail and I find all this here. (Am I using the right address, Gregor?) I guess a time-table can be hammered out here.

So, as I see it, options are:

Me:

The Al-Shab Hiri Roach.
Dogs in the Vineyard.
Great Ork Gods

Brian:

Poison'd
Panty Explosion

Gregor:

Three Sixteen (playtest)
Best Friends
Mob Justice

Graham:

Lacuna
(Hoping to convince him to run Darker. :) )

Joe M

Polaris
Contenders
The Shadow of Yesterday

Joe P:

Piledrivers & Powerbombs
Swansong
Dead of Night

Rich:

Umläut (ashcan demo)
Agon
Contenders

Per:

Bliss Stage
Death's Door
Sorcerer

That's already 22 games! :) So, I guess if we do get 8 people willing to run games we aim to run two slots each.

I really like the one hour demo format, but I'm also open to people running short demos, or double slots if there is table space.

[edited to correct Rich's games]

Why did I cut out Umlaut? That should definitely be in there. :) Let me know if I cut your favourite thing to see run, or included something wrong.

Flight-wise, get over to www.aerlingus.com, and book quickly.

Bah. Even with Aerlingus, the price is too much for me I'm afraid. Fare £13 (weee), fees+tax £36 (what?). Same thing for Ryan Air. Bastards.

Per

http://darkplaces.squarespace.com

So, if we're doing two I'll do Mob Justice and Best Friends.

Could someone pick up a Cold City slot?

I'd like to see Darker too...

You're welcome to. It's fun. And the Roach is a good game.

But, just so you know, I don't get any money when copies are sold. Jason paid me a flat fee. So it's not like you have to promote it for my benefit, if you know what I mean.

If you want to run the Roach, it'd be great if you used Darker. But if you want to be all promotional and stuff, I'd prefer you to put your energy towards one of the CE games.

Oh...wait...reread the thread...I'd rather not do Darker. I ran it about three times earlier in the year and I'm sick of it! :)

Graham

You should do ARTM then!

Okay, recovering from disorganisation - here's a proposed timetable. I've been left with one empty slot. Gregor or Rich could claim it? Was someone looking to run Cold City? If no one wants to claim it, I'll grab it myself.

This is the result of lots of random shuffling games about, let me know if you'd prefer to have a different time/game.

I do need to finalise this pretty soon, in order to get it into the programme. Oh, and if you have a couple of sentence description of your games that'd be great.

Saturday
11:30 Umlaut (Rich Stokes)
12:45 Mob Justice (Gregor Hutton)
14:00 Swansong (Joe Prince)
15:15 Agon (Rich Stokes)
16:30 Dead of Night (Joe Prince)

Sunday
11:30 Piledrivers & Powerbombs (Joe Prince)
12:45 Poison'd (Brian Nisbet)
14:00 ????? (?????)
15:15 The Shadow of Yesterday (Joe Murphy)
16:30 The Al-Shab Hiri Roach (Adam Kelly)

Monday
11:30 Great Ork Gods (Adam Kelly)
12:45 Best Friends (Gregor Hutton)
14:00 Contenders (Joe Murphy)
15:15 Panty Explosion (Brian Nisbet)
16:30 Polaris (Joe Murphy)

Looks fine to me. But two points:

1) I'm profoundly not a morning person.

2) I'm not really in a position to run Cold City. Sorry about that.

Also, is anyone planning on running "proper" sessions of games? Anyone planning top playtest anything, possibly after hours or whatnot? I'm new to this whole Gaelcon thing, so don't really know what it's appropriate to expect.

I doubt I'll be going but if I could mind control someone (read Gregor) into trying Solipsist there then I'd love that.

Hmmm ... apparently if I edit this jumps to the most recent post ... not what I meant to do!

Solipsist RPG, on its way ... eventually

If you could swap Rich's Umlaut with Mob Justice on Saturday that would be OK for me.

I can run Cold City on the Sunday at 14:00.

Oh, accomodation. I'm now booked into a full room of 6 people at Abraham's House hostel in Dublin city centre. You can book rooms of 4, 6 and 10 at hostels if you can club enough people together. It works out pretty cheap!

Hostel World (Dublin hostels)

John Wilson's advice was that any hostel with the name of a saint was OK. Mount Eccles Court was OK too.

I note that all the scheduled games are all finished/published & polished games (with the exception of Umlaut, which has been heavily playtested up until now ... so I'm hopeful that it's in better shape than a typical playtest.)

Now, outside the scheduled games we may get some playtesting done (I hope so!), or maybe not. I can think of a few games (including Traveller?!) that I want to playtest, so we'll see.

So noted Gregor, I was sure I'd seen playtesting mentioned above. My bad

Solipsist RPG, on its way ... eventually

Joe P, will you have a version of L&L with you?

I'd really like to take a look at that at some point.

Gregor, any chance I can have a look at 3:16 too?

...in a play-testable form as I've been full up doing other things every week day for the last while. Which is a shame as the bits I was lost on are now solved, I think.

As an aside, if you need anyone for help playtesting this Gregor then I am at your disposal

-------------------------

Oh, yeah Three Sixteen will be playtested at some point.

Hey guys. I can only do a day and a half of Gaelcon - Saturday and some of Sunday.

I'm happy to take any slots, but who'd like to swap? I can do mornings Sat and Sun and my slots could be bunched up closely if needs be.
