What is the Hog and Dice?
Somewhere deep in Ballyocras Bog, slowly sinking into the muck is a crumbling old manor house known as The Hog and Dice; a haven for the forgotten, the outcast and the outlaw. With an attic full of rooks and a basement drowned in the fluids of the bog; the crumbling halls of this dilapidated domicile play host to a curious community of creatures and characters trying their very best to take care of themselves, each other and you.
If you ever wanted Bosco for grown ups, or wished Podge and Rodge were more socially conscious then The Hog and Dice is for you and you specifically.

Residents at the Hog and Dice:
Boilgín the Changeling child:
Boilgín is a bright and precocious three year old, hand made from rags and bones to replace a human child while under a glamour. Instead they have chosen to reject the glamour and live openly as a changeling.
Boilgín is kind, curious, friendly, deeply empathetic and a little naive.
Scáth Báistí the mother of all crows:
Scáth Báistí is from an undisclosed location in County Cork. To say that she is “as old as the hills” would be an understatement, she is so old she has even lost large chunks of her skeleton which have been replaced with parts from a broken umbrella. She claims to be old enough to be the ancestor of all the crows in Ireland.
Oliver Cromwell’s Ghost:
We’ve tried several times to get rid of the this blasted poltergeist, but it haunts everything we do. Constantly whispering to us about how pointless and pathetic it thinks we are. If only we knew a good exorcist.
