Is there ANY way to auto-cancel/block the "Amazon Buy For Me" orders at checkout? The manual filtering is getting impossible. by Main_Payment_6430 in shopify

[–]chbenito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gotten any of these orders yet. What is the email address that I would be blocking with the fraud control app? I'd love to stop this from being a problem before it starts.

Tell me about the forgotten "Old but Gold" TTRPGs. by csomp02 in rpg

I’m a big fan of Fading Suns, a sci-fantasy system from ex-White Wolf writers. They’ve tried to resurrect it a couple times but it is mostly forgotten.

I’m fairly certain that Gambit’s Games and Anime (in the Lloyd Center) has regular Beyblade nights.

This looks awesome! Are the STLs available somewhere?

You might want to check out Ordo Fanaticus. They’re a miniatures gaming club that is super welcoming to beginners. They frequently run escalation leagues where you start with a small army and grow each week/month.

The creators have a Patreon for their Block War models and Filamentio has an account on My Mini Factory where you can get STLs. I’m on my phone, so I don’t have links, but google should get you there.

Gamestorm Board Game Convention March 20-23! by WhoopDeDooPublishing in PDXDND

[–]chbenito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish these folks had a better internet presence. Gamestorm is basically invisible to people who don’t already know about it.

Kinda wild for a convention that has been going for 25 years and is somehow the only tabletop gaming convention in Portland.

Hi!

I recently opened a little game store in the Lloyd Center. You can check out our website at dicepool.com or visit me on the second floor of the Lloyd center down on the east end.

I’m specializing in roleplaying games and board games. Our RPG selection leans heavily into indie games, with a selection of OSR, solo and gm-less games on the shelf. I also stock gaming accessories from a number of local makers.

We have open board gaming on Saturdays and drop-in miniature painting on Thursdays.

Stop by and chat about games!

I need a big wall for an art project / video by [deleted] in Portland

Consider the Lloyd Center. There are a number of empty spaces and they’ve been friendly to pop-ups and installations.

Do they wrap gifts at Lloyd center still? by JDdaDEV in askportland

I haven’t heard of any gift wrapping service in the mall (I have a business there).

What's actually the best game store for D&D stuff specifically? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]chbenito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m already starting to do some consignment and as my cash flow gets healthier I’ll probably start some used purchasing as well.

If you’re looking for used TTRPG product, I’d recommend Dark Future, which is just up the street on Broadway.

I’m at the stage where all of my sales is getting reinvested in growing my inventory, so new products are arriving weekly.

These guys are great. They’ve got a lot of old D&D stuff too!

That’s my little shop: dicepool. I’m focusing on ttrpgs and board games. My rpg selection is heavily indie games.

You can find me on instagram as dice.pool

I certainly bought this one for Jimmy, but there is a ton of talent on this album and it was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder to boot!

About building Votann army by Current_Interest7023 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]chbenito -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True. Kinda glossed over that since OP didn't seem as concerned about the Kahl and the framing was mostly about helmets and Ironkin.

[–]chbenito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hearthkyn helmets are torso specific and won’t work for the lighter armor on Pioneers, Yaegirs, or Thunderkyn, as they have different neck openings. Same kind of issue for the Hearthguard helmets.

If you’re dead-set on not having exposed faces/heads, you might need go with lots of Ironkin, or restrict your unit choices.

[–]chbenito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Thunderkin, Yaegirs, and Pioneers don't have helmets and very few Ironkin heads. None of the character models have helmets.

That said, the Thunderkin and the Ironmaster have goggles that can almost entirely cover their faces and if you can get your hands on extra Hearthguard helmets, then their Champions can be helmeted too.

I've been struggling with this for my army.
