Icon

From Irish Roleplaying and Gaming Wiki

Icon was a regular feature of the Irish gaming calender for the past 9 years. Featuring local talent from the south-east of the country. Originally funded, organised and run by members of Alternate Reality, Waterford's independant Gaming group (and one of the only non-college gaming groups in the country at the time), the convention had a small but steady following.

In 2002 WITless Gamers (the Waterford Institute of Technology Roleplaying Society) began to contribute material to the convention. From 2003 the convention was held in Dooley's Hotel, on the quays.

After the 2004 convention the comittee disbanded without appointing a committee to run the convention in 2005.

It is currently believed that Icon 2004 was the last of its kind.
