    Best bet is to pop along to FanSci in NUI Galway of a Wednesday evening in the acoustic room in Aras na Mac Leinn. They'll have ties to most of the non-student gaming groups around the city, of which there are actually a fair few. Or they might bring you into one of their games. Either way, right?

    Would they still be around during the summer months?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Some of them, yes. I think they've taken to a weekly night in one of the pubs lately, I'll see if I can get an update...

    Hey all,

    We're a long established game group in Dublin running a wide variety of RPGs over the years (Shadowrun, D&D various eds, Cthulhu, Traveller, Warhammer FRPG, d20 Modern, "other").

    We've recently had a decline in numbers due to other commitments and we're looking to recruit fresh new meat players to join in and see how we all fit together with a view to hopefully becoming a permanent part of the group. (Any player also welcome to suggest own campaign also - we're flexible that way and generally have 1 or 2 different campaigns running in parallel).

    We're gender indifferent (mixed already) and like new players just as much as old hands!

    We currently game Thursday nights in city center (quiet corner of a nice pub - beers are optional).

    PM for more info and a couple of quick questions to make sure you're not a serial killer (or at least - you're a fun serial killer).

    Cheers!
    Salubri

    Being mostly a student society numbers are naturally down over the summer (I'm told "enough for a board game or two"), but there are still meetings on Wednesdays around 6:30 in the Hub, the café in the Student Centre next to the bar.

    Hi there!

    Any group with space for a Brazilian guy. I'm used to play D&D, Trail of Cthulhu, Shotgun Diaries and a lot of Boardgames. My only problem is my english, that is not advanced, I can understand everything but I will probably roleplay as a Orc with Int 8.

    I curently live in Dublin 8.

    Send me a private if you need a player.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Linkmaster


    Got a beginner group looking for a DM/GM. PM me if you can. We're situated in Dublin, can meet in the city centre/Northside preferably


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭cozski


    There are a group of 11 players in 2 groups that meet regularly, every Wed from 7.30pm in Hughes Bar on Chancery Lane (the Four Courts LUAS stop is 5oft away). We are in the process of starting new games in the next few weeks and new members would be welcome, from beginners to those more experienced. Games played so far are Cthulhu, D&D4ED, Traveller and there are plans to run World of Darkness, Warhammer RPG 1st Ed and more D&D/Cthulhu. If you fancy staying in touch with us or getting some more info check out our Google Group (Hughes Inn RPG) or just pop down on a Wednesday evening and say hello. All Welcome.

    Hey folks,

    any groups looking for a new member? I prefer D&D, its what Ive mostly played (from 2nd ed and up) but don't mind the system. I have been gaming for 20 odd years (Im 31), mostly DMing, but the group of friends I used to roll with have drifted apart the last few years.
    I live in Laois but am happy to drive up to Dublin West (ish)

    if anyone is willing to give me a try send me a PM and we will chat about it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭cozski


    Hey Bob Bob... there is a sizable group that meets on Wednesday evenings in Hughes Bar (Chancery Lane) on the red Luas line near the Four Courts stop. We usually assemble from 7pm onwards and at the moment there are 2 games running and a third about to commence. The best thing you could do if you are interested is call down and meet some of the good folks there and see if it tickles your fancy... hope that helps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 JayGatz


    Hi all, just wondering if there's any tabletop groups out there that wouldn't mind a new member? I'm a relative noob to actually playing tabletop RPGs but I have a pretty good grasp of the concepts from years of being a closet nerd. Feel free to PM me if so!

    Hi Jay,

    There is a group that meets every wednesday at 7pm at Hughes' Pub on Chancery St. (Near Four Courts Luas Stop). There are currently a couple games going on, D&D 4.0. World of Darkness, and something else I don't remember at the moment.

    Feel free to stop by and join in if you like.

    Hi Allan, thanks for the invite, that sounds like precisely what I'm looking for.

    I may not be able to come for a couple weeks, though (final year college Christmas exams coming up). Hope that's ok. Also, should I just show up and introduce myself? Would I be interrupting already-running games?

    Cheers again!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 baelion


    Hi everyone.

    I'm moving over to Ireland at the end of the year, and I'll be living in the Waterford area.

    Are there any games or groups going on I can reasonably travel to?
    I have a ton of experience with D&D, oWoD, L5R, Dresden Files and other FATE games, and I'm fine learning new systems as long as the game is FUN!

    Can anyone help me out?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Tibur


    any groups looking for a new member? I prefer D&D, its what I've mostly played (from 2nd ed and up) but don't mind learning a new game as long as its fun. I have been gaming for 15 odd years (I'm 33), but the group of friends I used to roll with live in Donegal.
    I live in the Gorey area. If anyone knows of any could you pm me please.

    I'm looking to get a Pathfinder group (pathfinder is sort of an evolution of D and D 3rd and 3.5 edition that separated off from WOTC via the Open Gaming license before 4th Edition came into being) together and am based in the Ferns area, do feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd be interested providing I can get some more people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭Virtual


    Looking for a group in Clonmel area, anywhere within reasonable travel distance... say... 25km. Have never played any board game but have played lots of computer RPGs so I am open to any game. Don't hesitate to PM me if anybody interested.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,085 ✭✭✭Baggio...


    Anything in Kildare/New bridge at all? Drop me a PM if so...

    I'm quite happy to play or GM. My main influences are WFRP2e, Vampire and indie stuff.

    The Hughes RPG Group is meeting tonight (Wednesday 6th Feb) from 7pm - 10pm to agree new games. All are welcome to come along, from experienced gamers to newcomers. We've been running several games over the last year and we meet every Wednesday in Hughes Bar on Chancery Lane. Pop along if interested. Hope to see some new faces.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    There's a regular games night about to start up in Cork, starting on the 18th in the Pavilion. Likely board games at first, but I and others intend to carve out a slice for RPGs. I think it's supposed to start at 6pm, but I could be wrong. I'm meeting with one of the organisers later, I'll edit this post with a clarification once I know for sure.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 Sporks


    Hi all!

    I'm in my late 20's and looking for a mature group in the Dundalk or Louth area.

    I'm a relative newcomer, I've played a few games of D&D (3.5) but I'm interested in playing almost anything.

    Drop me a pm or something if there are any groups about who don't mind a little ol' newbie.

    Cheers!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 CptBuckaroo


    Hi I'm a newcomer to roleplaying games like dungeons and dragons, or call of cthulhu, and i'm wondering if in one is interested in starting a group in the letterkenny, donegal area, i'm 24 years old although most of my experience comes mainly from online PbP games as I find it incredibly difficult to find people in donegal that is really interested in tabletop rpgs, i have a large collection of modules and campaign setting books that haven't got much use (mainly because i generally collected them because of interest) I have around 18 books, but i have never actually played the game tabletop, because dungeons and dragons is a rarity, if not a virtual impossibility to find people interested in a game in donegal (mostly populated by gaa fanatics) so if anyone is interested in starting a game in the donegal area or even a club or society, then pm me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Tibur


    hey there CptBuckaroo, I'm originally from Gweedore but i played alot of D&D in Letterkenny. The group i play with is full so i can't really help you there. I'd say your best bet is to go down to the college and try to get in contact with the gaming society there. that how we first got together. If you have any trouble with find contact details for the Gs let me know and i'll ask a friend of mine that goes there if he can get it and i'll pass it along. But I won't get to chat with for a week or two as he is gone on holidays. good luck!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 CptBuckaroo


    thanks! thats actually a great help! wasn't even sure there was a gaming society in the college, where would i go to ask in the college about finding games? i only live a walk away from the college might head there tomorrow.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Tibur


    Hey sorry for the late response. The best way would be to go to the upstairs of the An Danlann Building "where the basket ball court and gym is". and asking there for a contact in the Gs. Good luck.

    Hi
    I’m looking for players for the Dragon Age tabletop rpg in Dublin city. It’s a dark fantasy world and the campaign is a military one. Think Call of Duty meets lord of the rings.
    I’ve GM’d shadowrun and Scion: Hero.

    If you are interested please email me

    newintown109@yahoo.ie


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 TanKoL


    Hey everyone,

    New on the forum here, but quite a veteran when it comes to RPG (am 29, started at about 12), I played a crap-load of different games (low/high-fantasy med fan, space-op, grimdark, inquirys, monster-bashing ...) and enjoy most types as soon as it's quite laid-back and not too serious

    I'm French and came to Ireland 6 months ago, been lacking some RPG-fix since then (had a few with colleagues, but not on a regular basis)

    Living in Dublin 24 - Citywest, got a car and I'm fine with driving a bit around :)

    If you got any questions, please PM me / email me, as usual
    Hope to get an answer !

    Hey one and all,

    I am a Cork city based gamer mad to get my roleplaying fix but it has been a while. I have played most systems by now and even ran a Savage worlds campaign for two years. I looking for either an existing game but would be happy to start one up and I am not particular about the system, Savage worlds would the system I am most familiar with but I am only too happy to learn a new system. My idea for a venue would be the Hub bar on Anglesea street, its is very quiet sometimes I have seen only five people in there and they have been very accommodating when comes to boardgames etc.

    I am free most evenings except for every second weekend. So if you're looking for a game or an extra player give us a pm.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    If you're looking for people, there's a regular gaming night started up not long ago in the Pavillion on Mondays if I recall. Often a few gamers spend their Sunday in the Franciscan Well with a board game or two (should be half a dozen there right now, actually). Loosely affiliated with UCC's gaming society, most of the folks involved used to be students there or can't make their thursday night meetings any more. Good chance you might be able to find a game or some players through any of the above.

    Not EXACTLY what your looking for, but have you heard of Pathfinder? Its essentially (and known as) DnD 3.75, its very similar to 3.5 with some "fixes".

    Anyway, not a regular group as such, but if your looking for a fix then there is an international organised play for the game known as Pathfinder Society (or PFS). You can build a PFS character and take them to games run by different people and playing with different people and still have them level up and all, as long as the games are sanctioned PFS scenarios. These are mostly run at conventions, and occassionally at random meet ups.

    Anyway, there is a meet up of a few PFS gamers this saturday in Gamers World in Dublin. You can either bring your own character (Check out the PFS Pathfinder site for rules) or if you want to just pop along there will be a number of pre-gens ready for people to play with.

    Hi again everyone.
    I've been living in Tramore for almost 7 months now and I've still yet to roll some dice.
    Is there anyone anywhere near Waterford who's still gaming, or have I really fallen into a black hole here?

    If there's no games to join, would anyone be interested if I tried to set up something hereabouts?

  • Registered Users Posts: 16 Croaker


    There are rpgs organised by the Cork Action League every second week in the Franciscan Well, you can find them on Facebook. Also my friends and I regularly play rpgs, we are currently playing a campaign of Descent 2nd edition and are always looking for new players for rpgs. Our group contains one guy from the Basque country and a South African so English not being your first language is no problem. Pm me if you would be interested in a game some time.

    Hey guys and gals,

    I am looking to join a D&D (4e) group in Galway, preferably not too far east (as I come from connemara). I am kinda new to the whole thing and I find it a bit hard to find like minded people locally to do something like this. Would love to hear from a gaming group or some folks looking for another body for the table.

    Thanks

    Hey all. I'm looking for a table-top gaming group in Galway.
    Im in my 20's, pretty new to this and am quite lost as to where to start


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Skylianblitz


    Hi Hatdylan,

    I am an avid table-top player and have a large collection of games so if you do find a group, give me a shout I have 2-3 others who would be interested in joining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭hairyheretic


    I'd be interested myself. It seems we might have enough here to form a group, or at least discuss the idea further amongst ourselves.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Hatdylan


    I am most defiantly in, I'd love to help build a group.

    PM me if interested ^^

    I am looking for a table top group to join in the Dublin area. I in my mid 20's and I'm relatively new to table top gaming, but I am pretty solid on my AD&D rules. Let me know if any of you are looking for a new player.

    Cheers!
