  1. I'll be there next Sunday to work on terrain room organization and other clubhouse-related tasks.
  2. I'll be there to open and close this Thursday GN March 21st. Come in and celebrate the start of Spring, by playing your favorite game with an opponent of your choice. 🌾 Please post here if you plan on attending.
  3. THE PLACE Location: 717 SE Main St. Portland OR 97214 (map) - Around the corner from Kokiyo Teriyaki and up the stairs. Cost to play games is $8 for Ordo Members, $3 for Ordo Warlord Champions, and FREE for Emperors & Imperators! As always, your first Game Night is FREE! THE GAMES Games we play: All, with a focus on 40k, Necromunda, Star Wars Legion, WtOW, and Turnip 28. While it is possible to find a pickup game at Game Night, it is much better to pre-arrange a game before coming down. New players are always welcome, feel free to stop by and check it out.
  4. I'll be there to open and close this Thursday GN March 14th. Reminder to all, alcoholic beverages are not allowed at the clubhouse. Our insurance policy does not currently allow for the consumption of beer or spirits on the premises. If you wish to partake in imbibing before, during, or after Game Night, please visit the White Owl Social Club, which is conveniently located across the street from the clubhouse. Please post here if you plan on attending.

  10. I appreciate hearing your feedback. One thing I want to mention to everyone is that while most participants enjoy their experience playing in an OFCC, the experience running/organizing the event can sometimes be very different. To be blunt, being a Head of Gaming or member of the support staff can be a thankless endeavor at times. There hasn't been a year since the first OFCC where someone didn't complain about army composition, scenarios, painting rubric, etc. We have had 10 different organizers over the last 20 years for the 40k teams event and most of them only headed up the event once; a few of them twice. BigTal was the HoG 3 times and our recently retired senator Evil_Bryan is currently the only person to head the event 4 times; 3 of those years in 2017, 2018, and 2019. And even he was reluctant to do it again in 2023, I think mostly due to changes in the overall 40k meta, plus the fact that GW had the new edition launching 2 months prior to the event. Along with the struggle to find good organizers, the senate also has to contend with negative feedback from potential players and past participants. I had a long talk with our HoGs for the 40k Doubles event in 2023 and they told me that they visited just about every Discord server in the PacNW to promote their event. A lot of the responses were basically "I've never heard of that event, so it's probably not good" or "I went to that event X years ago and had a terrible time, so OFCC is crap!" I was shocked to hear that, but it aligns with the strong emotions and attitudes (both good and bad) that people have shown regarding OFCC. In closing, hopefully Ordo can get to the point where we have good solid event organizers and positive overall vibes from the local and regional communities about running an OFCC-type event again. Maybe even in time for 2025? 😎
  11. Hi there. Due to the low interest in last year's event, the Senate has reluctantly decided to skip any formal plans for OFCC this year. There might be a large scale competitive 40k event sometime during the summer, but nothing concrete has been planned so far. The club leadership has decided to mainly focus on building up interest in attending Game Nights at the Ordo clubhouse, along with monthly 40k tournaments and quarterly BB events. Sorry to be the bearer of sad news. 🙁
  12. I'll be there to open and close this Thursday GN Feb 29th. Come out and celebrate Leap Day with all of us! 😀 Please post here if you plan on attending.
