Cead Mile Failte!DirectoryGet InvolvedGaiscioch Family NewsGaiscioch #ExtraLife Charity Livestream Event Lineup AnnouncedAlas, our schedule has been locked in.

We welcome anyone and everyone to join in the MMOs. The Coop titles will be arranged in advance. If you would like to guest star please contact me with the game you'd like to play with me. Donate to the cause at: https://gsch.info/forthekids-donate Thank You Discord Nitro Subscribers & Boosters!We finally hit Tier 3 thanks to some very kind supporters.

From now on you can send people to https://discord.gg/gsch and they can go to that page in a browser, or they can join our discord using the code "gsch" directly in Discord. As long as we stay over 30 boosts we will be able to keep this active. New World Preview Event Launches Aug 25thJoin us for the first major test of the guild system as we hit the New World Preview hard. We will be holding a community rally on Wednesday, Aug 26th to try to get the guild formed up and stuffed with as many people as possible. It's our hope that either we verify the limit is indeed 50 or we shatter that rumor and strive for the real cap. Identifying the guild cap will help with our plans for next year's launch. This Preview event will begin August 25, 2020 at 9:00 AM PT (12:00 PM ET) and end September 4, 2020 at 11:59 PM PT (September 5, 2020 at 2:59 AM ET). Although we do have more than 50 people signed up to play New World with us, I am uncertain about the actual number that will come. Regardless we will have the revolving door roster set up so we can keep the company filled with active players only. One character per person. If the demand is there we may look into additional options. Inside the FamilyGaiscioch Family Patreons:Want to give a special shout-out to those members who are helping enable our community to do great things. Their financial support has allowed us to expand the tools at our disposal and maintain the community without burning a hole in my personal savings. While a still do pay a bit out of pocket their contributions have prevented me from having to work side gigs to keep us afloat and for that, I am eternally grateful. It's at a manageable level I am comfortable with. Without these Patreons, you'd be seeing a lot less of me. Thank you for keeping me in-game and focused on growing our community. Avohaiel

Gaiscioch Family Promotions:I wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to a few members this month for accepting their next credo and stepping into a new role in our family. Guardians (Seaimpín)The Gaiscioch Family Guardians are an advanced part of the Veteran Members group and serve as the front line of our family. They help newer members learn about the family, our website, and our belief system. They occasionally will need to help get conversations back on track, or report misdoing's to the family elders. They act as advisors, guidance providers, and overall protectors of the family name. By this time a member should be involved in the family for more than 6 months and has been an active attendee in family events. For those who prefer fellowship over leadership this is the last stop on the family tree. Members must prove their leadership ability to progress to the Leadership ranks through the accumulation of both Valor Points (Earned through leading events.) as well as earning Tokens of Valor from lower ranked members of the family. » Akkmed Veteran Members (Curadh)Veteran Members have proven their devotion to the family by participating in events and contributing to the family's success. They have been active more than 90 days and have continued to be contributing members to the family. Official Members (Lorgaire)Official Members have earned the rank of Lorgaire and have accepted the Mark of the Kindred credo. They have officially decided to become members of the family and start their journey to ascend the roles of the Gaiscioch Family. » Jyntuu » Nuklear » Pentos » SunderCats » Tragor » Tripping » Typhoon » WinterPower Please Welcome Our Newest MembersGaiscioch By The Numbers

Over the past month, we got excited to see house rename tokens finally coming into the game. We migrated everyone to Tuatha and deleted Gaiscioch to ensure the name was available when the tokens hit. The day the patch notes were released there was one little caveat. House Founders are ineligible for renaming. So there go our best-laid plans. Oh well!
At this point in the game’s life, I feel confident that we can be a single house effectively with our revolving door rotating roster structure. If you ever find yourself out of the roster, simply press N click "Free Houses" then search for "Tuatha". It is case sensitive. Any returning members will get an invite priority. This system has allowed us to thrive in environments that place guild size caps on us. It doesn't affect your Gaiscioch membership or progress at all.
We've had some great fights in season four so far and things are shaping up to have a few more. The borderlands have opened and we are working on stretching out a bit. By the end of September, Season 4 will run its course and we'll be on to Season 5. So far we've maintained control of Westweg and Mainstadt with several tough fights against seasoned foes.
For the most part, we've managed to get the griefing to stop which is good news for new players trying to make their way to Hunting Lodges. Our allies own the entire NW area of Osteria and we've helped secure it. Tensions between us and the DragonsFury Alliance have subsided now that the Borderlands have opened. We're not sure how it will all shake out but it's definitely been an exciting season.
Check out some of Season 4's battles:
We even made a fun little highlight reel:

The long-awaited Crowfall has finally made its way to beta this past month. We have a small group of us that have been watching Crowfall closely over the past few years and several are eager to hop in. If you're interested in connecting with other Crowfall players be sure to head over to our Adventure page and get connected.
Over the past week, I've had access to Bless Unleashed on PlayStation 4 and I can say I'm very happy with the direction this version of Bless took. It's much more enjoyable than the Bless Online MMO. I will be opening a Gaiscioch on PS4 upon launch for some casual hangout fun and weekly Livestreams. But that will just be a little groundwork for the bigger PC launch in 2021. Once that one is live I plan to get a Gaiscioch set up there as well so that the majority of us have somewhere to play together.
That said I know some were burned by Bless Online and I don't expect you to come back and give unleashed a try. If you do you might be surprised. I certainly was. But I'm going into this one with the attitude if people take interest we can do bigger things but if not that's ok too.
Here's our updated list of games we're keeping an eye on.
