And here's the Sunday schedule!

Sunday is our family friendly day with fun activities for all!

While we still have heaps of TTRPGs for ages 12+, we also have a few tables for the younger adventurers ages 8-11. These seats are limited, so pre-booking is strongly advised!

We have 100+ TTRPGs, but did you know we also have 2 full days of panels, workshops and other games lined up?

Here's the Saturday schedule, more details for each can be found on our website!

Important!

Game sign-up forms will close Thurs night to give us time to update everything before games kick off!

The last round of game sign-up emails will be sent out Thursday morning, which means to guarantee a chance to pre-book a game, you MUST purchase your tickets by Wednesday night.
February 14, 2025 at 4:45 PM
No pressure but just wanted to point out the FULLY BOOKED bit.

Different kind of dungeon game today - Dungeons & Naggins!

Steve Bennett, Irish comedian and creator of Dungeons & Naggins, will be with us Friday night and early Saturday (10-1) running drop-in games AND you'll also get to play the new expansion pack!

*Cosplay/Costume Showcase Sign-ups!*

AthVentureCon doesn't have a huge cosplay scene, so this event is the perfect chance to try it out for the first time!

Cosplay or Costumes are welcome. We love seeing people dress up as their favourite TTRPG characters!

Sign-up now!

Any @dopesanddragons.bsky.social fans in the room?!? Definitely make sure you're with us on Sunday, 23 February.

That's right! In just 3 weeks, Happy and Horse will be with us on Sunday at 12:00 upstairs in Genovia's Lecturne of Learned Pigs (or The Panel room if you prefer the boring name 😄).

So you know those GMs who use lighting and mood music and different NPC voices and props and incredible models??

I could easily be one of them if I had the talent and patience and drive and energy. None of which I actually have. But fear not because our next GM seems to be fair hand at the models!

Who wants to help count these? 😅

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!

So the big fella up north left a voice message for me last night saying that unless I started posting about more games at #AthCon24 then I was at serious risk of making The Naughty List...

It turns out that that fruit company did build that data centre just outside Athenry afterall!
But how did they get past the pesky planning permission and what data are they really collecting??

Head to Planning Permission in the 2pm slot on Sunday, find Gus's table to find out.
December 6, 2023 at 7:54 PM
Regardless of whether it's that loveable rouge Lestat, the original Vlad or that window tapping freak Danny Glick we all love vampires!

And Saturday evening at the AthCon24 you can sit around a table and get the chance to play one!

Aren't Paladins just deadly!!!

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say how it's just super how they point out all the mistakes that we are making in both the game and life in general.

Plus the way that they look down on all the other classes is a shining example to us all!

At 2pm on the Sunday Dave McC (one half of the chaotic Dopes and Dragons duet!) will give players the chance to switch things up as they take on the role of level 1 monsters left in charge of a dungeon just as a pesky group of adventures arrive!
November 18, 2023 at 9:14 PM
Next up...
Dylan, he of Heartfire Tales fame, brings his own rather unique style of DMing to the early slot Saturday morning of AthCon24 with a 5th level 5e adventure packed with everything that makes D&D.

Except maps and minis.
Theatre of the mind baby!!
