Event X, Bus, Rules 1.4 and other stuff

Sunday, 03 July 2011 16:26

Apologies for the lack of updates here in the past while, we've been very busy behind the scenes getting prepared for Event X and getting the Rules 1.4 Update out the door. 

So lets get on with this...

Event X

Next Saturday July 9th we'll be holding our second full day Midway event which is our 10th Midway Event overall. 

The Event will run from 11AM til 8PM but do plan to be on the site at least 30 minutes before that so you can register, get your character packs, weapons checks etc. done and be in the IC area at 11AM for Time In. 

If you're coming along we'd be delighted if you bring along any friends, family or co-workers interested in playing along, the more people there the better. If you are bringing a new player along please have them reach out to us via the contact form so we can work with them on a background and character concept.

All further details and link to the Facebook Event are on the Events Page. 

Event X:Bus

A bus has been booked for Event X. Forum Post

Bus will Leave from Nassau St (Outside the Kilkenny Shop) at 10:00 AM Returning from HRTA at 8:30PM.  

Cost is the Usual 15 Euro

If you would like a Place on the Bus please email us at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  your phone number/email address/contact details if you have not already done so. (or you can use the contact us form). 

If you've previously been on the bus and we have your detials you can post directly on the Forum.

Please note until we have your contact details and you've received a reply your please is not confirmed. 

First Come first Served.

Event X: Afters

As the last one was so successful we've decied that it would be a good idea to arrange to go for a few drinks in town after the Event. 

We're still finalizing details at this stage but its likely it'll be in the same location as last time, The Long Stone.

If you're interested in coming along head on over to the Forum Post details will be posted there as we finalize things (and I promise I'll try updating here too...)

Rules 1.4

Rules 1.4 is finally unleashed. You can find it at the site, or the direct link is http://midwaylrp.com/documents/rules-documents/MidwayRulesv_1_4_0.pdf. There's lots in this one, and we're quite pleased with it, so we'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look.

Please note - these rules will not go into effect until *after* Event X. At the end of Event X we'd love it if you could hand us back lammies for sharp and blunt weapons, ideally telling us which skill you want to replace your existing one with (short, medium long) and we'll replace them for the right lammy. If there's any questions on that (like if I have Blunt 3 can I convert it to Blunt: Short 1 and Blunt: Medium 2?), pass them over to  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  please so we don't give away what skills you have and will have.

We'll give out Surgery Kit lammies at the start of Event XI to those with the Surgery skill.

Armor is an exception to this. We'd ask for Armor lammies back for replacement at the end of Event XI (September. We skip August, remember?) This means you get to keep your Modern Armor for just a wee bit longer before we nerf the bejaysus out of you.

Character creation really hasn't changed much, so no problems there. 

For Discussions of the Rules please visit the Forum Post.

Think that's finally everything...

Event VII: Foodage

Wednesday, 30 March 2011 19:14

We're hovering over the precipice that is Event VII and as this is our first full day event there has been some discussion on the Forums about Food and Drink at the Event. If you're interested in reading the discussion or joining in you can read it here. 

Its extremely important that everyone eats and drinks throughout the day to keep their energy levels up and keep everyone playing, we don't want any player collapsing due to dehydration.

The GM Team will be supplying large bottles of water to the IC Area for players to drink during the Event but we would suggest that you also bring your own. 

For food Paul from HRTA sells Noodles and Hot Water from the HRTA "Command Centre" in the OOC area. 

We've also been told by a number of players they're planning to bring their own food to eat IC (some enterprising Players have also mentioned selling food IC). 

If you're going to bring food and plan to eat IC then here's a couple of tips

• Repackage food for use IC. Avoid Modern packaging in the IC Area.
• Wrapping containers in Brown Paper and Tying with string looks great and fits in to the Setting very well
• Bring Water, we can't stress this enough. You need to Drink even if its not Sunny
• A hunk of Cheese, bread or Fruit wrapped up makes awesome IC food

If you've got more suggestions why not post a comment.

Alcohol is not allowed on the site.

There are also BBQs in the OOC area if you want to cook something. Let us know if you plan to cook so we can talk to Paul in HRTA. 

A Thermos' or Flask of Tea may also go down well. We've had players bring the supplies in the past and make their own Tea over a fire.

One Week On From Event VI and Planning for Event VII

Friday, 25 February 2011 10:55

We're one week past Event VI and all in all the feedback we're receiving is all very positive. Pretty much every player I've spoken to so far has said they really enjoyed it and it was one of the best we've run so far... so that's now the standard we have to live up to and improve upon. 

We're now in the planning stages for our next event "Event VII" on Saturday (yes that's Saturday) April 2nd. This is going to be our first full day event starting at 11AM til 8PM (Details as always are on the Events Page). As always we'll be arranging a bus to and from the event from Dublin City Centre, details will follow in another post once we've arranged things. There's also some talk from our players on the Forum about heading to a pub after for a few drinks. 

We'd really like to make this event our biggest ever and we've lots of plans, plots and suprises planned but to make it successful we need you, your friends, your family and anyone else you can think of to come along (as long as they're over 18 of course), so please go out and tell everyone about Midway and all the fun you've had at it or if you haven't attended an event ask your friends who have and we're sure they'll tell you to come along! Spread the word! Join us and Welcome to the Beginning...

If you are planning to come along please drop us an email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or reach out via our Contact Form. 

Please also check out our Rules and Backround Documents and all the info you need to Create a Character.

NOTE: The Current Rules (Rules 1.4) are currently under Review, we hope to have a new Rules Document out before the Event but in the meantime please refer to Rules 1.4

On another note some of our friends have been creating some Motivational Posters. Check them Out below:

Hello there friends in gaming!

Friday, 04 February 2011 09:28

Last night the Irish Games Association placed a link to the Midway site under a heading labelled "Friends in Gaming." We like the idea of having friends in gaming so much that we've blatantly stolen the heading and we intend on adding links to every other site we think is awesome as time goes on. Hello IGA! Hello other friends in gaming!

Event V, Warpcon, Videos and More...

Wednesday, 02 February 2011 14:43

Its been a few weeks since the last post here so there are lots of updates. 

First of all, Event V was awesome we had a great turnout of 26 Players, 4 NPC Crew and 3 Staff, which is our largest turnout yet. On top of that when we arrived on at HRTA we were handed a bunch of masks from the guys over at South East Airsoft who had heard what we are doing and wanted to help. So a big thanks goes out to them! Overall the Event went well, we had plenty of politicking, some shooting at bandits and some panic amongst the inhabitants of the town when they thought someone had been kidnapped. As always there are things to be improved going forward but overall we're satisfied with how things went. 

Last weekend was Warpcon, UCCs Gaming Convention, we attended, had a few drinks, met a few people and talked a lot about Midway. One thing that struck me was the buzz around the con about Midway, I personally overheard quite a few conversations talking about Midway. If you happen to know anyone who wants to play make sure they get in contact here or via the forum, which full of chatter as always. 

In other news, Dave over at Dublin Culture posted an interesting article about Midway as a thought experiment, which is an interesting approach. He also included some nice photos from Event V which we've also posted up to our Photos section. 

Finally Hugh (or Doc Fitzmaurice as you may know him) was down at HRTA recently and he recorded a video tour of the area around Midway, its during the daylight hours which is a rare chance for those of us who don't get out to the site too often to get a better knowledge of our surroundings. Check it out below:

We're also fast approaching February 18th and Event VI so keep an eye out here for updates.
