Nobody out there interested? I know there has to be some PA WHFB players lurking around here somewhere!

With Borderlands at Showcase canceled, we thought we'd try and fill in with a smaller tournament. It's been great fun the last few times we've done it.

Whats up man, I just moved to the burg last week from Denver and would love to attend the tourney.

I sent a PM to John Rainbow (above) the other day but he hasn't responded. No worries, but it would be nice if somebody could drop me a PM as I would like to know if there is any kind of local & regular Hburg Fantasy scene.

I just yelled across the room at him. He'll get back to you soon.

Sorry, was busy at work! I've sent you a PM back. Great to have someone else aboard! I also included a few bits about gaming in Harrisburg. Basically I think the best thing to do is start at the store where we're going to be - the Adventurers Guild.
