Well, it turns out that I won't be able to make it this week--I scored tickets to Book of Mormon Thursday night. Sooooo, maybe next week. Sorry!

A little off-topic, but here are some pics of minis I painted once upon a time, long, long ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/twd3lr/sets/72157594253764974/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/twd3lr/sets/72057594065580553/ More recently: https://www.flickr.com/photos/twd3lr/sets/72157605166676298/ I'll see you all next week!

Wow, quite a few replies since I last checked. Between being crazy busy at work and sick for the past four days, I haven't had a chance to check until now. Thanks for all of the insight. I would definitely be interested in watching two or three games before I get stuck in, but I'm glad to know that mid to late is the sweet spot. I've generally been more of a painter than a super-competitive player, so I'm looking forward to painting something new (having painted 40K and WHFB armies previously, along with the random Reaper mini). 15mm is going to be an adjustment as I tend to be a detail freak, LOL. I'm really just looking to learn a new game and have some fun rolling dice while drinking a pint or two. As for how I found out about Ordo, a GG employee told me to seek it out for Fantasy games and gaming in general. I figured there had to be some FoW activity, too. I live over on the east side of town, almost in Gresham, so I'm not tied down to GG by any means. This coming week is a wash due to the holiday, but I would probably be able to meet up the following week.

Hi all! My name is Tom. I'm a longtime WHFB player who moved here (Portland) from Little Rock, Arkansas in 2010. I haven't played any tabletop minis games of any kind since before the move. After reading the 8th edition rules and being a little less than enthralled with yet another major change to them (started in 98 with 5th edition) and then having talked to a good friend who got into FOW a few years ago, I've decided to take the plunge. I bought the Open Fire box a few weeks ago and have been slowly reading through the rules. I've also watched a few of the Bootcamp YouTube videos. Finally, I've been clipping minis from sprues and am about to start painting just to get used to the minis and get some quick starts to forces together. With all of that being said, I'm really curious as to what most people play around here. I'd love to start playing regularly (probably once every other week), but don't want to sink a bunch of money into an army that I wouldn't be able to play. So, what period(s) do most of you play regularly? And what point values? I stopped by Guardian Games last Thursday, hoping to find some people playing on what is listed as league night on their calendar, but didn't find anyone gaming, so I'm curious if that's still a thing or if people play regularly elsewhere. Thanks for reading. I look forward to discussions here and perhaps to meeting some of you down the road.
