3DR Con IV - 2024


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 Ancient Battles game of Saxon Pagan invaders warring against King Arthur and his legion defending Mount Badon. Then, we had a game of the 54mm Inquisitor take place.

From there, a custom skirmish scenario of Warhammer Fantasy Battle (3rd Edition) took place. It was called "Where Eagles Dare" and involved poachers trying to pilfer the eggs of giant eagles on a lonely hillock known as "Eagle's Drift".

On Saturday evening, we ended the first day of the convention with a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Scenario 1986 by Carl Sargent, "The Grapes of Wrath," where five adventurers uncovered a nefarious chaos plot to ruin the harvest of a prosperous village south of Middenheim. 

Of course, there was a hard-fought Mordheim tournament on Saturday & Sunday all day, as well!

On Sunday, there was another game of Rogue Trader in a custom scenario that involved the starship thief & cardcheet, Abdul Goldberg, on the run from Imperial agents & bounty hunters.

There were game demos of Warmaster going on during the afternoon, as well as the original Adeptus Titanicus game from 1988. 

We're really lucky to have such a great community of folks attend 3DR Con, year after year. I couldn't ask for a better group of 'Oldhammer Warriors'!

We're looking forward to 3DR Con V in 2025!

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 ...
