For no reason here’s a graph of the counties where gamers flocked from to attend Knavecon V.
Thanks to everyone who made the journey and made it a great great day. Roll on Knavecon VI

Gamer’s Breakfast – Knavecon V
As has become tradition we invite you to join us for a light snack (or more correctly a heart stopping fry) in the morning before kick off.
Myself and the Knaves will be sitting down to brekkie around 8:30/9:00 tomorrow morning in the Hotel. Carb up and get a good run at the day
Huzzah!

Knavecon Grand Raffle – Part 2
Thanks to all those who have already jumped on board with the Knavecon Grand Raffle. I’m a little late with this post, as promised I’m adding some more games to the prize fund and because I’m a little late I’m extended the double ticket window until Midnight 2nd April. So without further adieu I’m adding PAGODA to the draw
All those who have entered the draw will also be entered for the Pagoda draw.
There’s still time to jump onboard and throw your hat in the ring for what some are saying will be the biggest raffle since the National Lottery*
WATCH THIS SPACE (well you know what I mean), more items will be added in the run up to Knavecon
Huzzah!

Knavecon Love Letter Auditions
I’m going to do up a custom Love Letter Deck for Knavecon. The various roles on the cards will be replaced with pictures of gamers. SO here’s what I want. The roles as you may know are
- Guard
- Priest
- Princess
- Countess
- King
- Prince
- Handmaiden
- Baron
I want you to submit a photo of yourself photoshopped or cosplayed to one or more of the roles above. The best ones will be used for this con’s Love Letter Deck a number of which will be printed and played with and given out as prizes on the day.
who’s game?
sent them IN PRIVATE to victor_gannon@hotmail.com or catch me on Facebook

Dr Phil in the house
I regularly get slagged off for playing inappropriate music at games nights. Even though Knavecon can be a noisy affair I always thought it lacked music, so rather than subject the gamers to my Excellent taste in music I’m bringing in a professional. Say hello to Big Phil. Phil Wade is a veteran DJ who regularly plays in Limerick and as a gamer himself is perfectly placed to produce the ambient atmosphere and background music the con deserves.
This is going to be a hell of a day!

Boardgame Café Dublin
I had the pleasure of talking to Carla recently from the Board Game House Café in Dublin. Carla and her husband Bruno are avid board game fans and are setting up a board game café in Dublin. They’re pretty close to completion and are finalising a location (possibly in Capel street) which should see 40-50 people seated in comfort, gaming and professionally coffeed.
The guys hail from Brazil where boardgame cafes (and I would assume coffee) are a common occurrence. The idea would be for people to drop in, have refreshments and if they want to game pay a small fee to gain access to their large game library (I’m envious of some of the games they have on offer). The fee will be used to maintain and add to the games they have. They’ll have on hand game gurus to take people through the rules which is a fantastic idea.
So, coffee, boardgames and a relaxed atmosphere, it doesn’t get much better than that (a bit like Knavecon!).
I’m going to visiting them in the next few weeks for their opening and I wish them the very best with their new, wonderful, venture
Huzzah!

Knavecon V – Timetable
So here’s the run-down so far of the organised events on the day of Knavecon V, which some people are saying (me) will be the greatest gaming event in the history of history.
Bad Moon Rising – Werewolf Returns
In a break with tradition at the last Knavecon we didn’t run our customary game of Werewolf. Well I’m here to tell you it’s back and you WILL want to play it on the day. Anyone who’s taken part will remember it. Fondly.
So since I’ll be the GM it’s probable I’m not a Werewolf and since Drax isn’t playing he’s probably not one either… maybe as tradition demands hang him first, just in case
Huzzah!
