...and we had some talks and chat about the upcoming releases and content updates; full details - and release - to come.

It was also - specifically - great to bounce some future ideas off the wider group, and see which areas got the most traction.

Congratz to all who organised and attended Illycon. You are all stalwarts of the gaming world! Clap

Hey everyone,
Both Christina and I had a blast at the weekend of IllyCon. I was a bit worried she would be bored and not enjoy being part of our nerdy universe, however, thanks to all of you being open and talkative about other things too and not just Illyriad, she was really into it.

Irish Folk Music with a band called Sprag Session.

We found a specific radio channel we liked and they played lots of good local Irish music.

I too enjoyed the Castle ruins and tried to think about what atrocities had happened there as well as what life was like living there in those days. Makes you think about today's life when you visit these places. There is something fascinating about those times. I guess we can glamour it all up when in reality it sucked in quite a few ways.
On our further trip through the Irish landscape, we saw many more ruins, churches en mass and cathedrals. A game like Illyriad surely portrays some of the action and which had happened through history. I think I also saw a few scriptures and writing styles on our journey that have similarities to our beloved game. What a great place to find inspirational sources.

We visited a copper mine in the Killarney National Park, where there was now a beautiful pond from the excavation site.

Also we visited the Trinity College in Dublin, where this guy was

And here we saw a Grey Heron lurking in a tree (unusual)

Thanks a bunch to the GM's. It was so good to meet and get to know everyone a little bit, as well as meet their partners and good friends. I'll be in Copenhagen and have a bed available to anyone who feels like stopping by to see the city.

Big hug from Josh & Christina

It was great fun, and truly wonderful meeting y'all - the general awesomeness of Illy players never ceases to amaze me.

Especial thanks to SirTwist for organizing things on the ground in advance; much, much appreciated.

great weekend!! 
My memory has never been very good, but I think the memories of IllyCon 2018 will stay with me!

If everyone enjoyed their time here, and it appeared they did, then I see the event as a successful one.
thanks to everyone who made the effort to attend, and thanks to the devs for covering the cost of much of the weekend... and to those who couldn't make it, hopefully next time!

lastly.... to those Illyrians we have loved and lost, we raised a glass for them on the Friday night, and we'll remember them always
