The con

I spent last weekend at Gaelcon, which was being run by Andrew, a friend of mine. It was the first con he'd ever run and I have to say he did a fantastic job on it. This one went up to 11!  I didn't actually play that many games, only three if I include the left for dead tournament, but those I did play were a great deal of fun.

I did run a game written by Ian, which I had helped play test for him, set in the discworld. Its worth pointing out that it's the first game he's ever written, and it came together brilliantly. So brilliantly in fact that he won the best game award (You should have seen his face). 

I won something as well :)

Apparently being a paranoid devious bastard helps you roleplay better when anyone could be your enemy.

The auction was good fun, especially the start when they surprise awarded a charity with €10,000. The representative was nearly in tears, heart strings were being tugged. We bought a nintendo 64 and some D&D stuff by Keith Baker, all told €200. Played the 64 last night. God those graphics are awful. I think I'll go play it again now though :) .
