Who all is going to be attending Origins Game fair in Columbus Ohio?

By cynanbloodbane, in Star Wars: Armada

For the first time in years FFG will be holding events at the Origins Game fair.

June 15-19

Columbus Ohio

Just wondering who will be making the Con?

Considering this is the Nationals for X-Wing. Im going to guess A LOT including myself!

I am honestly worried at how quick it will all sell out, I have gotten my badge now that I know the dates and have a hotel reserved etc. But if this sells out like Worlds last year....

I worry that

A) they are not ready for that volume and it will crash

B) that they are going to do it an inconvenient time

Events are going on sale 4/20

The site usually crashes briefly on event registration day. I believe event registration starts at noon on the 20th, but I have only ever been shut out of 6 player events in the past, if I was online at noon.

Where do you usually play at Forgottenlore?

Your not too far away from me. (I'm in Bedford near I480, I271 split.) Ihave been driving all the way to Rocky River for a regular game.

Akron area. I play on Fridays down on the cuyahoga valley at JAC games. Good store. We mostly have x-wing and imperial assault players but there are a couple of people with armada fleets too.

Have you ever made the trek up to Malted Meeple in Hudson Ohio? One of Northeast Ohio's "Gamer Bars". I am going to be running some learn to play Armada games coming up, (most likely on Tuesdays.)

Well darn. Metro DC area here.

Yeah, I've been to the Meeple several times. It's about a 50 minute drive for me. Post something when your going to run, I'll try to be there. Can't promise anything though, my plate is awfully full lately.

Will do!

If JAC Games hosts Armada on Friday nights, I may need to swing by some week.

Any conventions in our neck of the woods that host Armada? I may ask WWPD Steve on that front.

Historicon might.

For the DC area I think Stele is having Armada and I know NoVA Open is this year. I'll be there at the latter. Hoping to also do WV and NC regionals as we'll as Origins.

Origins event registration opened today at 1:00 pm eastern.

Winchester here. Drive west and turn left when you hear the banjos.

Stele is having Armada, I'm playing there. NoVA has it, but I'm full up with XWing Narrative and Infinity.

So I see that at Origins apparently there are Star Wars: Armada National Championships being held there. I had thought there was only one national championship and its at Gencon but it looks like they are held at Origins too. Can anyone confirm that up?

From what I understand, GenCon is now the North American Championship

Wow, that is confusing. So Origins is just the National Championships? I am assuming that a win in either one would give a first round bye in Worlds
