We have been keeping an eye on the situation developing on X and, following a growing list of concerning changes and developments that do not align with our values, feel it is time to take a step away from the site. We will be deactivating our accounts by the end of the week.

Important message below from the IGA

[Gaelcon @Gaelcon]

Your newly elected IGA Chair here with a few words to say. This past week (13th – 19th) was Trans Awareness Week and Trans Day of Remembrance is here, November 20th. I think it’s obvious to say that we are seeing an increase in intolerance and hate in the world.

Want to plan your weekend's laughter and merriment (and take a few games/home to EXPERIMENT)? Weekend's program now on https://t.co/FH0Xg6px0I and from our link in bio.

#newprofilepic I mean if a fella started having a nose around the IGA website, there might be tickets there available for purchase with a time-limited offer for an event on in the autumn, as well as a Larp event in July. But I'ma not gonna tell you how to crawl this dungeon.

Mothú is a one day festival dedicated to celebrating Irish larp and will take place on Saturday July 12th, 2025 at the Teacher’s Club, 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin.

Come join us for a day of parlour larps, and potentially some talks.

[Irish Games Association @IrishGamesA]

Open to larpers new and old!

Unlike a typical Irish gaming convention, players sign up for their larps in advance. After the schedule goes live, there will be a few weeks for first round ticket sales.

It was a pleasure to be back in Galway and to see Itzacon continuing its rally back from hiatus. There were some amazing games run over the weekend from a clearly passionate committee, and there wasn't a moment that the main hall didn't have people playing boardgames.
