    And for the second gaming convention of the year...

    Leprecon XXIII

    23rd & 24th February
    GMB, Trinity College, Dublin.

    Leprecon is the oldest con in the country and it features as wide a range of games as you'll find at any other con in the country.

    The website has full timetables etc. etc. and it can be found at
    http://www.csc.tcd.ie/~gamers/leprecon/

    Also, Leprecon features a LAN. Full details available from the website.

    Lir may I ask as to why VDR rules are being allowed for 40k, as this was in the leaflet you gave us at Warpcon. It doesn't seem very fair to have it subject to GM only. They are optional rules and as such have no place in a tournament, they are far too easy to abuse.

    Apart from that I'll see ya up there :)

    I'm not even going to begin to comment on the Wargames rules for Leprecon for two reasons:

    1) I'm not on the committee of the convention (used to be, but I decided to stop when I left TCD), I'm posting this here for general information (see, us IGA chairmen are nice like that).

    2) Either Vinny Carpenter or Hugh Lardner would be much better people to ask as they are the Wargames guys for Leprecon. One or both of them should be at the Guild on a regular basis or they should be contactable via gamers@csc.tcd.ie

    Cheers Lir, Lemming VDR = Vehicle Design Rules, they were in White Dwarf a few months back, and are in the Chapter Approved Compedium. They basically can allow you to put terminatiors in a Rhino, or an earthshaker gun on a Land Raider, never mind the weapon mods you can do, ala D3 shots for gatling upgrade.. Twin Linked Gatling Eathshaker Cannon mmmmm.....



    In all honesty they have no place in a wargames tourney.


    Anyways, I'll probably be up for Leprecon Lir, looking forward to some good games, and probably being in debt coming out of it!

    I eventually found gamers in Ireland, I'm not going to let them go!! I was left 3.5 years without a good long game when I first moved to Ireland... Arrrrghhhh!!!
    Need another Fix, games, please games!!! ;)

    Now I found loads of cool players, doesn't need much to keep me happy :D

    Just as a point, anyone who does wish to book for K2 has about 5 days to do so. You cannot just turn up at the door, this is an over-18s event with limited spaces.

    Further information (on how cool it is) can be found at this site.

    Any other enquiries can be pointed at lir@lspace.org

    Lir.
