Céad míle fáilte! Welcome!

Opening post, 15 Iúil 2025, by Siskey

I have beeen inspired by the chatter after the very successful Mothú LARP Festival on the weekend just gone in Dublin to start a blog, which as the Internet continues to fall apart I think will rapidly become the main way of crying out to be seen and heard, the 2025 equivalent of the one or two episode podcast. A friend has brought my attention to Neocities, which has opened up a big auld can of nostalgia, a very powerful motivating force for me, and so here I am.

If you're reading this we probably know each other already, but just in case, hello! I'm Siskey, and I live in Ireland and I play and write and enjoy LARPs. I started out by playing the Vampire the Requiem Camarilla game here in Dublin, which I rapidly became the Storyteller for. Since then I've run a lot of LARPs, played in even more, and have enjoyed the majority of them. Recently I have begun to attend a field LARP in the UK called Empire which takes up a lot of my head-space, so you can expect to see thoughts on that and all the other LARPs I've played over the years collected here.

Will I keep to a regular update schedule? I will certainly try. I have always found the best way to sharpen my writing is to write regularly, and once I get over the hill of actually getting started it tends to pour out of me like a leaky tap. The best way to get me to do anything is of course praise, so if you like what I'm writing and would like to hear more let me know!

I'll try and get this website set up properly over the next week or so, it's been around 20 years since I last did anything HTML-related so there's a lot of catching up and borrowing to be done. Until then, there's this post, a little squashed doodle which I only realised afterwards would not show up well on a phone screen, and my thoughts about my LARP after Mothú above. Please enjoy!
