LARP blurbs for Leprecon 31


Hello again! I hope you liked the RPG blurbs, because we also have a few LARPs for you to participate in over the weekend, and they’re just as good!

Here are the blurbs for the anticipated games:

JumpTech 6: Damocles – Nick Huggins

Strange things are afoot and coincidences abound in the four systems. How can a trio of JumpShips be sighted in foreign space when there are only seven such craft, all of which are accounted for? Data storage units have been found, hinting at the origins of a lost civilisation, but can it really be coincidence that three of them were found almost at the same time on several different worlds? The war between the Humans and the Teth may be over, but a greater conflict lies on the horizon. Can the governments and the Jump families survive while still squabbling amongst themselves?

The Kingdom – Camarilla Ireland

“An object that struck the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks on Saturday, causing a mysterious illness among local residents, was a rare kind of meteorite, scientists announced today.

A team of Student researchers confirmed the origins of the object, which crashed near Kilorglin.

No statement about the illness which is affecting locals was given although a local GP has said it is probably just a coincidence.”

Something weird is going on in County Kerry.

Christmas in Valhalla – Sandra Duggan

Every year the gods from all walks of life from all around the world descend on Valhalla to enjoy the festivities. There’s music, dancing, wine, women and song just for starters.

But what happened to those lesser gods that don’t get invited? Those who aren’t welcome at the hippest party in these parts? What would aeons of bitterness and being the social outcast do to anyone? Want to find out?

The Demon-Zombie-Ghost Pirate Le Chuck is dead… – Aidan Marsh & Alex Tang

…Again.

With any luck though, this time he’ll stay down for good.

Unfortunately, this leaves the local in something of a predicament. Le Chuck was the most feared pirate around, and now that he’s gone there are rather a lot of pirates who wouldn’t mind the position. Swords will clash an insults will fly as the applicants gather in the Scumm Bar to determine who will hold the title of Most Dreaded Pirate of the Tri-Island Area.

Where There’s a Will – Shane O’hUid, Brian McNally and Liam O’Tailliuir

Old Granda Frank has passed away, rest him.  Sure it’s probably for the best that he’s up there with May again, forgive me for saying it but towards the end he had some notions in that head of his.  The funeral was grand, it’s a shame but it’s one of the few things that brings the family together, from all the various walks of life and corners of the world.  There was a bit of bother over who’s going to get the wine cellar and who’s getting the Jaguar, but sure we’ll find all that out this afternoon now, at the will reading.  I’m sure Granda Frank made the right decisions.

Cheers all,

Siskey & Fatz

RPG blurbs for Leprecon 31


Hello one and all.

Our submission deadline of the 12th of September has come and gone, and lo and behold we have our RPGs for Leprecon 31. A big thank you to all those who submitted ideas for games, and we look forward to seeing the finished product in March!

Without further ado, here they are:

The Crimson Eagles and the Invaders from Tomorrow! – Paul Anthony Shortt (Spirit of the Century)

Air raid sirens blare across the night sky. Battle Zepplins drop bombs on London. Nazi forces are advancing across Europe and the threat of a second Great War has never been greater. The year is 1935. A mysterious warlord has travelled from the future to wreak havoc on the past, tearing history asunder. Only the Crimson Eagles can possibly turn the tide and defeat this new menace and stop the Nazis from winning the war before it has even begun!

The Winter of 1854 – Padraic Barrett (Call of Cthulhu)

Citizens of Sevastopol pay HEED

Vice Admiral Nakhimov (Late of the Black Sea Fleet)

Will reward any Man, Woman or Child who identifies COLLABORATORS OF THE BRITISH AND FRENCH DOGS THAT BARK AT OUR GATES!!!

And wanted for the MURDER & MUTILATION of five seamen from the steam frigate Vladimir on November 3rd

Help the brave HEROES of the Black Sea Fleet

God save Tsar Nicholas!

The Deep Dark – Graham Tormey (Mouse Guard)

Mice struggle to live safely and prosper among all of the world’s harsh conditions and predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed, they are escorts, pathfinders, weather watchers, scouts and body guards for the mice who live among the territories.

They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live.

Recently reports have reached Lockhaven that tunnels have been uncovered near the town of Copperwood. The locals are worried and someone is going to be sent into the darkness to find out what is there.

Guess who that is going to be?

The deadliest prey – Graham Turner (Savage Worlds / Penny Arcade)

Mr. Bear’s Hell Circus is in town; and the good people of New Arcadia shudder at the very thought of the evil contained within its brightly painted tents. Doors are locked tightly, windows shut fast, and the streets deserted come nightfall…deserted that is, save for the Startling Developments Detective Agency, who, once again, find themselves treading without fear in the whispering dark…

A young girl genius- taken. A promise- broken. A sandwich- eaten. To bring down the infernal Mr. Bear, our heroes must recruit the help of the greatest hunter of all…but will even his aid be enough

WWS VI: Operation Olmec – Sean Geraghty (Savage Worlds)

The year is 1941. The armies of Soviet Russia have flooded through Europe and the Far East. The European powers, now united under the European Defence Force, struggle to contain the superhuman Icons and their lesser Super cousins. In America, the US remains technically neutral but gives tacit support to the beleaguered allies. But now an isolated incident in the remote jungles of Mexico is about to change the whole course of the war.

Welcome back to WWS.

Sight Unseen – Tadeusz Cantwell (Dark Heresy)

The Inquisitor activated your group just a few minutes ago. Each one of you grabbed your away bags and what guns were at hand. A flyer is taking you directly to the spaceport. Information is lacking, a report stripped of classified information is being prepared. Emperor bless you.

The Secret of Ronan Skerry – Michael Davis (Castles & Crusades)

The town of Port Vogey is in distress! For several weeks, no ships have come into port, and no-one knows why. Now the new moon has passed and the lighthouse keepers, the monks of the Sea Goddess, have missed their monthly trip into town for supplies. The town council are not sure whether this is due to mishap or foul play, but you have heard they are looking for some eager adventurers to investigate.

This game will be played using the Castles and Crusades RPG, an easy to learn, rules-lite game system based on earlier editions of Dungeons & Dragons.

The Quest for the Blue Rose – Noirín Curran (GURPS: Disney)

Once upon a time…

That’s how it ALWAYS begins – once upon a time. Well, the time is now, your princess is missing, and all the princes seem to have disappeared, and it’s up to you to show them all what you’re made of!

Surely you can prove yourself to be cuter than all those other talking animals, more useful than the other animated-inanimate objects, stronger than the rest of the himbo princes, more evil than the evilest of evil stepmothers, and shinier than a flock of fairy godmothers!

Be sure to get your princess home in time, lest she turn into a pumpkin!


The Ebon Express – Ger Norton and Barry Sheppard (D&D Eberron 4th Edition)

The Tribunal of Thronehold has brought hundreds of war criminals to justice since the end of the last war, but never one as big as this.

Now the Ebon Archons, the elite team who captured him, are only one Lightning Rail ride away from bringing him to justice, if they can only keep him alive.

I hope you’ll all agree with me when I say that these games all sound like they are going to be excellent. Thanks again to everyone who submitted a blurb. We will be in touch with our writers to let them know about the Writer’s Prize and submission deadlines soon!

Greetings to all you potential writers! We’ve heard from quite a lot of people who are interested in writing RPGs and LARPs for Leprecon 31, but we’d always like to hear from more. If you are interested in writing for the convention, we want you to submit a 50 word blurb to us by the 12TH OF SEPTEMBER.

After this date, we will start to feature blurbs for accepted games on the blog here. Thanks to everyone who’s submitted so far, and we look forward to hearing from even more writers before the deadline.

Now accepting your submissions!


Hello there from your Leprecon 31 RPGs & LARPs team! This is Siskey posting this, and myself along with Fatz will spend the next few months searching high and low for adventure(s)!  We’re hopeful that we will be able to uphold the fine standard of roleplaying entertainment that previous Leprecons have delivered, and we’d like you all to help!

While we’re looking forward to hosting the eager roleplayers of the world come Spring 2010, we want to hear from a select minority of you now! Those of you who have written for us before, or have written for other conventions and would like to write for us, or have never tried before and would like to give it a go, all of you are very welcome to send us an e-mail at rpgs@ leprecon.info!

Whether it’s maritime hijinks, sci fi romp, ancient Egyptian escapade or whatever sparks your imagination, please send us a brief synopsis along with your name and a title to the above address. Even if you have two ideas we’ll be glad to consider them, though of course we have a limited amount of RPGs and LARPs we can eventually run.

If you or any of your friends would like to take on the role of GM for Leprecon 31, be sure to send us an e-mail too. Writers get into the convention for free, while GMs get free entry into an RPG or LARP for every game they run, as well as food and drink at those games to express the convention’s gratitude for your noble service. GMs who run 3 games for the convention get a free t-shirt and their convention entry refunded.

We’re also happy to offer a Writers’ Award again this year at Leprecon 31. Games eligible for the prize will be those delivered in advance of the 2 week deadline for game submissions, that the RPGs and LARPs team (that’s Fatz and I) decide is the best in what will no doubt be a great collection of games!

That’s all for now! Hopefully sooner rather than later we can get in touch with you with list of potential RPGs for Leprecon in its 31st glorious year.

All hail Generallissimo Gorman!
