Hey, all! I'm headed to Origins this year and was wondering what sort of wargaming events will be run or how I might find people to play games with. I'm interested in playing and learning anything, but wouldn't mind getting games of LnLT, COIN, or Triumph and Tragedy in. How can I find other wargamers? Would people recommend getting the board room pass or is that mainly targeted at the Euro crowd?
We've got a few errors with getting our events loaded on the Origins events grid right now, and I'm trying to sort it out, but once the event grid is open, there's an ability to search on "Armchair Dragoons presents..." and find our events that way.

As far as open gaming goes, we have some in our area, and there's a cadre of wargamers that'll set up in the Board Room, but there's also (usually) a thread or geek list on BGG (usually run by Bob Fix and yes that's his real name) that let's people post what they're bringing and what they're hoping to find a game of
We're planning on LNLT, A Distant Plain, and others at our area.
