Extra Fun Stuff

Friday Evening Check-in

Skip the Saturday morning lines and pick up your AthventureCon III lanyard starting at 7PM on Friday night! Just find an organizer with a rainbow lanyards and we’ll get you sorted.

Friday Night (and Saturday Morning) Dungeons and Naggins (18 years +)

For those of you 18 years and older, please join us on the Friday night (21st of February). Like last year, we will have a private area of the bar/restaurant just for us to kick off the weekend.

This year, we have a special guest joining us!

Join Steve Bennett, creator of Dungeons and Naggins for an evening of fast adventures with optional drinking!

Steve will be there to guide and enhance your craic as you play the hit Irish comedy board game.

A game takes less than 30 mins, plus you can try out the brand new expansion pack!
Now for up to 8 players, with loads of new cards, powers and party game rules – Marvel at the Museum of Naggins.

It’s the perfect chance to play and ask Steve questions about the game, and maybe even pick up your own copy!

More games planned for Satuday morning in Rymore & Jeff’s Rehearsal Jam (Workshop 2, Rooftop Garden Bar)

Saturday All Day: Raffle!

The time has come to test your luck not on the battlemaps, but in the AthventureCon III Raffle! Whether you’re a cunning rogue, a wise wizard, or a fearless barbarian, fate itself will decide who walks away with treasures untold.

The gods of chance smile upon those who dare to cast their lot into the mystical cauldron. Will you roll a crit… or a crit fail?

Prizes worthy of a dragon’s hoard await. But beware: when the clock ticks 9:00 on Saturday night, the raffle ends, so does your chance to claim eternal glory.

Saturday Morning/Afternoon: The Exiles Medieval Martial Arts Weapon Demos

The Exiles Galway are returning this year to AthVentureCon – watch, learn, chat and maybe start a new hobby!

The Exiles are part of an international network of Medieval martial artists. They study and practice a full martial curriculum based on the works for Fiore dei Liberi, a teacher of combat in the late 14th and early 15th Century.

Saturday Afternoon: Chill-Out Space

1pm-7pm in Rymore & Jeff’s Rehearsal Jam (Workshop 2, Rooftop Garden Bar)

Welcome to the ultimate Chill-Out space for board game lovers at the con! Whether you’ve been slinging dice, stacking meeples, or trying to remember all the rules to that one strategy game, this is your oasis of low-stress, high-fun vibes.

Imagine a cozy retreat filled with everything you need to make you feel like you’re plotting your next move in a medieval inn. The lighting? Bright enough to read rulebooks but soft enough to make losing feel less painful.

This is a BYOG (Bring Your Own Games) zone, where you can crack open your latest board game haul, teach your favorite hidden gem to new friends, or just find a comfy spot to shuffle cards in peace.

Be sure to bring water and maybe even some thematic snacks to keep your energy levels high—because we all know analysis paralysis is best cured with a snack break.

So pull up a chair, shuffle the deck, and roll for relaxation. You’ve earned it, champion of cardboard!

Saturday Night: (18 years +) Whose NPC Is It Anyway?

Join us from 10-11pm on Saturday night in the main games hall for some fun, laughter and chaos with our friends at @emeraldcollectivepodcast

The Emerald Collective proudly present “Whose NPC Is It Anyway?”

Join some familiar faces from The Emerald Collective alongside some guests from the Irish TTRPG scene for an hour of Dungeons & Dragons themed improv comedy in the main hall on Saturday night!

Saturday Night & Sunday Night: Just Dance

Join us for some cool down laps *laughs* after a long day!

Imagine walking into a room where the energy is just the right amount of chaotic—like a dance party hosted by a golden retriever. It’s a drop-in Just Dance session, meaning no pressure, no judgment, just people moving in ways that vaguely resemble the on-screen choreography (or not, who’s counting?).

Sunday Afternoon: Carnival Games

So many to choose from…

* Ring Toss

“Step right up! Show off your aim and win big at the Ring Toss! Challenge your friends and claim your victory!”

* Bean Bag Toss

“Aim, throw, and score! Hit the targets and rack up the points with our exciting Bean Bag Toss game. It’s easy to play, hard to master, and always a blast!”

* Duck Pond

“Quack, quack—pick a lucky duck! Dive into this whimsical game where every duck holds a surprise just for you!”
