3D Roleplay Con I - 2021

 



The inaugural 3DR Roleplay Convention went off without a hitch! From out of the ether, a group of friends decided to get together on an unusually hot summer day & roll dice with toy soldiers.

3D Roleplay Con is an annual Oldhammer gaming convention held in Portland, Oregon (USA). Championing the golden-era of fantasy wargaming & roleplaying, with an emphasis on 1980’s editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, 40K: Rogue Trader, Realm[s] Of Chaos, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay & the like.

3DR Con is meant for lead-miniature enthusiasts to get together, roll dice, trade miniatures & enjoy the classic games of the Oldhammer era. We play narrative, old-school miniature wargames & roleplaying games.

Though this convention focuses primarily on 1980's GW game systems & miniatures, all games are welcome. However, we will always give table priority to Oldhammer games. I ask that all miniatures that hit the table are painted, as well.

To me, the term “Oldhammer” ecompases the years of 1975 - 1992 (with exceptions, of course). Within this timeframe, the golden-era of the 1980’s Citadel & GW design studios emerged, giving us (in my opinion) the finest versions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, 40K, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, etc... (as well as the greatest miniatures!)

3D Roleplay Con is organized & put together each year at a grass-roots level. This means that it’s not as rigid & supervised as other gaming conventions. As such, we ask you to be respectful and courteous to one another, always keeping a strong sense of sportsmanship. 

— Hank Richardson, Convention Founder

3DR Con IV May 4th & 5th, 2024: This past weekend, the 4th annual Oldhammer convention 3D Roleplay Con (IV) in Portland, Oregon (USA) took place. It was the best one yet & truly a fantastic time! So much love & enthusiasm for the 'games of old' & the fantasy wargaming hobby as a whole. 3D Roleplay Con is an annual Oldhammer gaming convention championing the golden-era of fantasy wargaming & roleplaying, with an emphasis on 1980’s editions of Warhammer, Rogue Trader & the like... Folks travelled from as far away as Vancouver, BC to roll dice & trade old lead miniatures with like minded gamers. Around 40 people this year gathered at the quaint convention hall in southeast Portland around 9am on Saturday, May 4th. Instantly, folks were rolling dice in a game of Rogue Trader from 1987 in a scenario that pitted space pirates & Imperial marines against one another, whilst an alien menace (catachan devil) stalked them both.  Next, there was a Warhammer ...
