We hope to have ticket sales up and running before the summer and Merch sales sometime thereafter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few points on the preparation for the con as it stands;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RPG\u2019s form is live! We have gotten some amazing submissions already but more are always a good thing so submit games to run at the con here; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/rZkAPxvQPQrEBx8w8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/rZkAPxvQPQrEBx8w8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 While the RPG\u2019s team and other con organisers are not adverse to hunting people down as the deadline approaches later in the year, it\u2019s not as fun the fifth or sixth time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are working on the website and overhauling it as part of the wider IGA change to a newer, more transparent organisation, which is part of why you can\u2019t buy tickets right now but it\u2019ll be done soon and we will let you know.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The con committee are endeavouring to be at as many conventions as we can get to talk about the con.

Well we figured it really chose itself when we decided the Roaring 20\u2019s! The glamour, the singing, the cultists, the escapism, The criminal underworld, the absinthe! We shall do our very best to have it all! Please note the con director does not aspire to be Jay Gatsby or similar and comparisons to that vein won\u2019t go down well, all other applicable Baz Luherman films are free game though!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So some in all your pinstriped, pearl bedecked, glittery glory while you ignore the ominous chanting as we sacrifice staff to Eldritch Beings in the hope of things going well!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eds Note; We expect roughly the same number of sacrifices to eldritch horrors as any other Gaelcon, which is exactly how many you think it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello All, a short update for you all to finish out the Mega Paddies Weekend.
