On this happy new year we've a Happy new game!
As in the GM Happy who makes up approximately 50% of the Dopes & Dungeons crew.
Both Happy and Horse came to their first #AthCon last year and loved it so much that they'll both be back at #AthCon4
Be sure to check out their live show in Feb!
I want to be back there too, #AthCon 2026 can't come soon enough! It is such a welcoming space and great craic to boot. Tonnes of game systems to play (not just 5e!), panels to attend, live shows to participate in, and vendor stalls for artists and others!
Next game up is one from GM Tony who is a first timer as either a GM or a player at #AthCon.
And in typical go big or go home mode Tony is running a mammoth two-part, 12th level, D&D, 5e (2014 rules) game where the party have to get to the bottom of some Mind Flayers in and around the Sword Coast.
Tooth & Nail is a Call of Cthulhu game from the brilliantly twisted mind of GM Mark, @artictrooper, who you may well know as one of the Emerald Collective crew!
Mark has pretty much been a constant at #AthCon & his games are always very popular so be sure to book your seat at his table in advance!
This is GM Conor's first time at #AthCon, he's bringing a gaggle of fellow Dubs from the Dublin Adventure League among with him!
Gnome Ashes Gnome Problrm is a 9th level 5e game suitable for exp players only.
So buckle up for what promises to be a fun heist.... and none of your negative waves man!
GM Graham (@irishthump here on BS) is an old hat to #AthCon & he must really like it because of top of 3 tables of Deathbringer he's also running an U12s session on the Sunday morning! Lege!!
Shout out to @Dungeoncraft on Twitter who wrote the system.
Tickets as always at..

Next game up we look at new #AthCon GM Amelie and her Candela Obscura game: From The Silence.
We have a film premiere where the director causes a scene, whispers of mysterious goings on during filming oh and then we get a murdered film critic.
Nothing to do with an ancient curse surely??
Welcome to twenty-twenty-five!
I hope y'all had a wonderful Xmas break!!!
With the new year comes a new game and GM Cian (new to #AthCon but an old hand when it comes to GMing), is introducing us to the zany Discworld setting!
Peace is near but not until all the diplomats have had a good fry up!
With a voice that sounds like a mix of Tom Waits and honey poured over thunder Dave's games are always crazy popular so be sure to nail down your seat as soon as bookings open in Jan.
He may be a dodgy old piece of furniture, but he's our piece of furniture and all at #AthCon love him lots & lots!
And here's something a little bit different!
Take on the role of a monster, sneak into #AthVentureCon and steal the priceless AthVentureCon cup!
Using the player friendly Honey Heist rules long time supporter of #AthCon GM Keith A will lead the party thru what they hope will be the perfect heist!
This is GM David's first time at #AthCon and he is running 3 games kicking off this one in the early Saturday slot.
If you fancy playing a monster, or indeed, if you want to play a more traditional hero and butcher said monsters, then be sure to pick up your tickets at

Next game up we've one by a first timer at #AthCon, as either a GM or a player. But GM Paul F seems determined to make up for lost time by running 4 games over the 2 days of #AthCon3!
First one of Paul's that we focus on is his 8th Level D&D game The Horror Within!
Due to an unplanned bout of laziness yesterday we didn't post any game information :-(
However, due a combination of it being the weekend and a desire to atone for our sloth we will put up two games this evening!
Don't forget tickets for the World's Best Con* #Athcon at

I can fit in any more food puns.....I'm full!! 😉
GM Antony, in his first visit to #AthCon will guide (ie kill) you thru the mad, unbalanced and frankly bonkers world of PARANOIA.
tickets at www.athventurecon.ie
Just don't let on that you know, because I'm not sure that you have the security clearance. And that can result in death 💀
D&D is now over 50 years old & at #AthCon3 we are giving folks the opportunity to experience the game as it was!
Long time friend of the #AthCon & the person for whom the phrase "forever DM" was likely first coined, GM Gus will be running the classic Tomb of Horrors scenario using 1975 rules.
It will be the first time it's run at #AthCon
Our GM will be super hyped that he has your blessing!!
If Undead is your thing then sit up and take notes!!
First time to GM at #AthCon Oskar is running his 5th level 5e game Undead & Buried in the early slot on Saturday.
An Undead King stirs in his tomb and countless Undead walk the land!
