POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The portals have closed on DagdaCon 2026, but the memories are still critical hitting! ⚔️✨

Our highlight reel is officially here! From the main hall to the intense battles on the table, take a look back at an incredible weekend where our "Otherworlds" truly came together.

A massive shoutout to the legends who made the magic happen:
🔥 AthventureCon for the spine-chilling NeverEnding Gory.
🏰 Kilkenny Nerd Club for their breathtaking Theatre of Tables.
🛡️ Dearg Doom for leading the charge in Warhammer.
🏉 Cáolan for the bone-crunching plays in Bloodbowl.
⚔️ Bob for orchestrating epic Horus Heresy.
🤩Eimear for the adventurous Disney Lorcana.
🃏 Ger for showing us how to catch them all in Pokémon.

Our deepest thanks also go to our Scéal Sessions speakers, our hardworking GMs, Ray for our wonderful special events, Edd for all of our mind blowing videos (including this one), the volunteers who kept the portals open, and the generous donators, vendors, and artists who filled the hall with treasures. Our fantastic sponsors Lookout Games and Creative Ireland who made it possible to run DagdaCon.

And most of all, thank YOU, the attendees!

Stay tuned... the journey continues. DagdaCon 2027 dates are coming soon! 🗓️

Coming to DagdaCon by train? To make things as easy as possible we’ve filmed a video showing the walk from Limerick Junction Train Station to our venue at the Great National Ballykisteen Golf Hotel. 🚂🚶‍♂️🏰

🕒 Duration: It’s a handy 15-minute walk, just enough time to stretch your legs before hitting the gaming tables! 👟✨
🛣️ The Route: Safe, straightforward, and literally right around the corner.
💼 Pro-Tip: If you’re carrying a heavy army of Warhammer minis or a big bags, the path is paved and flat, making it easy for wheeled cases! 🛡️📦

Limerick Junction is a major hub, making it easy to reach us from Dublin, Cork, or Limerick. Once you hop off the train, just follow the path in this video and you’ll be at the heart of the action in no time! 🎲⚔️
