Organised by David Houston
The life of the Imperial President is in mortal danger he has been captured by the evil men from Mars, who are about to fly him to long-term imprisonment in the Maurian Salt Mines. Your group of heroes is tasked with organizing his rescue. Their will be lots honour, medals and maybe a little money for those who survive the mission.
Are you willing to risk life and limb in this challenging task? Your Empire Needs You
P.S. watch out for the Vogon, he (it's) kind of big & mean, and don't shoot him you'll only make him angry.
Saturday Morning
Space Hulk - Balfona VI and the Tyranid Menace
Organised by Mark Bradfield
Ducking around a corner and into cover Terminator Marine Clivius slammed his last assault cannon magazine snugly into place. The barrel rotated into life once more and with a muttered prayer to the emperor he swung around the corner.
BY ALL THAT'S HOLY!! He swore the recently empty corridor heaved with all manner of Tyranid organisms - dozens of the alien filth chittering as they swarmed down the corridor towards him. With a well practised flick of his thumb and the satisfying reassurance of "WARNING FULLY AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE OF ASSAULT CANNON IN PROGRESS" Warning on his HUD; he pressed the fire button.

Legends of the Old West - Hot Night in Hells Kitchen
Organised by Tony Ryhmer and Trevor Houston
A 1920's miniature skirmish game of Cops, Gangsters and something more sinister!
It's June 1928 in the New York district known locally as Hells Kitchen. Whilst most of the city is busy with commerce, industry and trying to get around the prohibition laws... Hells Kitchen is at boiling point. Mobsters are fighting a bloody turf war for control of the illegal drinking dens, bootlegging and vice trades. Whilst the New York Police Department are woefully undermanned and the scourge of corruption coming from the top is turning the Big Apple rotten. Are you ready to help the NYPD clean up the streets or perhaps create your own criminal empire in the Empire State?
Sunday Morning
Are you Northern Ireland's Biggest Munchkin?
Munckin Tournament
SJ Games - Men in Black
Twilight Imperium Competition
Running All Weekend
Steve Jackson Games Demos
Organised by Men in Black
Those crazy kids from the Men in Black will be on hand all weekend to show off the weird and wacky world of Steve Jackson Games. With Munchkin Cthulhu and Munchkin - The Good, the Bad and the Munchkin, plus others such as King's Blood, Cowpoker, Battle Cattle... well the list is endless!
Dork Stock Northern Ireland - the first!
Q-Con is now an official stop on the Dork Stock World Tour!
Dork Stock is a collection of games which John Kovalic has illustrated and/ or designed, mostly produced by Out of the Box Games or Steve Jackson Games. It also involves sugar. Lots of sugar. In the form of Igor bars - feel free to bake 'em and bring 'em along.
The main games that we will be running are:
CINEPLEXITY® brings movie fans together for delightful movie madness! Each round, players race to name a movie that includes elements from two CINEPLEXITY Cards.
GOLD DIGGER® sets anxious prospectors on a quest to find their fortunes in gold. Picking the right claims will yield a cornucopia of riches... but beware of fool's gold! The player that outwits all the others, wins!
APPLES to APPLES® is the wild, award-winning card and party game that provides instant fun for four to ten players! It's as easy as "comparing apples to apples"... just open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge!
In SNORTA® each player chooses the sound of a typical farm animal and the fun begins. As players quickly flip over cards, tongue-tied players stumble and stutter to blurt out the animal sounds of the other players. Before long your "barnyard" fills with bales of laughterThis is not a game about grace or style; it is a game about grabbing gold and then more gold! To find gold, you need to be victorious in battles.
KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY RPG® It's not your fault that Kobolds are gourmets. It's not you fault that King Torg (All Hail King Torg!) is hungry. It's not your fault that the tastiest thing a KObold has ever eaten is sweet baby! And it's defineatly, not your fault that Kobolds are the most incompetent, reckless, and accident prone race to ever crawl out of a cave. But it is your problem...
MY DWARVES FLY® And you want to have it, too, the fabled treasure of the Red Mountain - but you won't get it for free! You need to enlist creatures to help secure your share. For you have rivals, others who are deluded enough to believe they also have some right to the treasure. Well, they are wrong: this is your treasure - and yours alone! You will have to show them the hard way, by having your creatures vanquish them in battle.
As well as assorted Munchkin variants and other OOTB games!
IGOR BAR BAKE OFF!
If you dare to bake and put so much sugar into one cake that it brings on instant highs (or diabetes!), then the Igor Bar Bake off is for you. And I'll have to taste them. Whcih will be a spectacle in itself. If you are brave enough, check out the recipes at http://dorkstock.com/IgorBars.html, bake a cake and, if it doesn't kill me, you'll get a prize!!
