Ok, speaking as someone who *is* on the committee...
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, haven't been around for a couple of weeks. The timetables will be up soon, in fact I'm prodding the webmaster as we speak.
In other news, the short answer on the swap is "no". Sorry. First off people are prebooking based on the timetable we've set, so while there may be additions, swapping things around is done as little as humanly possible. The other thing is that there is a big cross over between LARP and RPG writers, GMs and players, so the two timetables have to mesh in some way, if we moved one of the games you mentioned it might require reworking of substantial bits of the rest of the timetable.
Every year Gaelcon tries to provide the best selection of games it can and unfortunately every year there are people who'd love to be able to bilocate (or more), I know I have on more than one occasion. Due to the complexities of timetabling clashes do happen, but we do listen and we do try and do what we can to improve every year.
I wouldn't want to recommend one game over the other (well, as LARP coordinator I'd urge you all to play LARPs ), but I really do hope you enjoy whatever you do play. 0 -

oh there more cons and events then just gealcon but Gealcon is the one i try to not to miss.Now, for whatever reason, the automated re-animation systems have brought me back to life in this strange land, like a time traveller, hungry from the long night, and craving the taste of game blood.
Innevitably I am drawn to my own kind. Drawn like the suicidal moth towards the murderous flame of games. Though it may take me to the lowest underbelly of civilasation I must follow the call. Though I may do things along the way that will haunt my living dreams whilst sanity remains, I must find my way there.
Where must I go? [/B]
like the journey is the main part of the fun and why would i rob you of that
I am Sure LIR will be able to inform us of where the leaflets have been depoisted has to be some near you some where.0 -

Greeting El Nick ,
ah your offer is most welcome and it is always best to play a session with the person from who's twisted lil mind it came from
Makes it more of a challegne to try and get out of the box of the prescribed session. Oh and congratulations on having it already finished 2 mnth beforehand .
I will make sure to bring extra yummy Gm bribes for that late session, what your sweet preference or chocolate preference?0 -
-
ahhh That is if there is room arround the LAte session table for you Devore,
See we got El Nick first.
hmmm let me see there will be Ai][en ,
Specky, Catasthropy, Gill, Noj and Duirguid
and ME ! in our merry lil band wanting to fit in COC and SLA .
Not that we would welcome you at any table we are at Devie dear 0 -

there's nothing wrong with bribing if you can get away with it
) speaking as one (cough) not that id ever take a bribe (cough) (cough)
CoC last year at gaelcon was absoutly brilliant that and i was one of only two players that survived)
everyone else was either eaten by zombies or went crazy!!
if your gonna play another game of it outside the normal of the time tables im deffinatly game.
you know 7 of us eh? thats a hellva gaming group
Dev you ever played SLA before? (sales pitch ..... sales pitch)

Gm bribes are a long tradiation.
nothing like suddenly producing a bag of iced carmels and covering the table in them to have the Gm suddenly annouce that your vamp char spots a tasty rat slurp you again a blood point
WEll usually we tend to break up the group heaven forbid we swamp or upset a GM but I must admit the only Gm we have had that we didnt run rough shod over was Guy the Gm who runs anything lol.0 -

aaahhh no worries Dev was worth a try
im looking forward to gaelcon this year as much as i was last year, hope your enjoying the SLA RPG on boards must admit its a challange its the biggest PBEM ive ever tried and with so many people able to view it, hope it looks right!!
roll on the real thing!!0 -

Well I might or might not be able to make Gaelcon during the daytime this year, I'm up to stuff on one of the days but I'll be there for the charity auction and probably for the pub quiz.
DeV.
Assuming I can make it from Brussels, I have a t-shirt with your name on in
[explanation: I had the honour of taking over MCing the Charity Auction from Dev a while back and there was his tshirt that he wore, signed by loads of guest, which I bought for a about 250 from him at one auction, put it up for sale again, and got stung by Dev last year by old skool Dev-type peer pressure auctioneering and paid 300 for a shirt I already owned. Dev....I vill hav my revenge]
This has been a promotional post on the fun and frolics of the Gaelcon Charity Auction from someone who has nothing to do with Galecon organisation committee 0 -

There's a couple of ways it works - first of all the staff, committee and people there are 9.99 times out of 10 very welcoming indeed.
There are RPGs which you sign up for at a registration desk, and sit down with 5-6 players and role-play your heart out. You can also meet some people and just ask them to play a game - like when you meet them at the trade stalls for example and see that they are picking up your game.
Most cons also have a cool selection of pick up amd play demo teams (such as the MIB) and Special Events (usually quite spectacular at Gaelcon) and other games that allow you to just drop in. Most such events are announced in the hall, and the convention programme usually fills you in on the rest.
There's also the cool social element of just hanging around and seeing people and, at Gaelcon, the Pub Quiz (Sat), Charity Auction (Sun) and afters are always good places to meet people;)
Now, I feel sufficiently self-whored in the name of gaming 0 -
