  1. That's not a bad explanation for how WoT, Shannara, etc. ended up the way they did; but if that is indeed the case, it makes me wonder how the SW sequel trilogy ended up such a mess. 😁
  2. Ack! I totally forgot about this event. I was thinking about stopping by and checking out people's armies. Sigh.
  3. Leaving now. Door should be open around 10:30am.
  4. I haven't seen the WoT TV show or the Shannara one for that matter, which is why I used phrasing like "sound like" and "I'm guessing". I probably shouldn't be stating my thoughts on any of this, but we have a fine tradition on the OF forums of giving opinions on subjects that we know nothing about it. 😉
  5. Honestly, it's starting to sound like Amazon made a loose adaptation of WoT, similar to when MTV/Spike made a loose adaptation of the Shannara book series. I'm guessing both series were made primarily to appeal to a YA/Teen audience and that's why a 100% verbatim adaptation was not made.
  6. If you can make it out this Saturday, then definitely do it. This will be the last Saturday Game Day of 2021. 🎅
  7. If you don't want to attend this Saturday's Game Day to avoid potentially spreading an illness, I would say go ahead and wait until Jan. 1st to purchase 2022 membership dues online thru the Ordo webstore. There is only going to be one more Saturday Game Day this year (Dec. 18th) and you could just attend that day for free as a first-timer. The clubhouse will be closed on Dec. 25th, followed by a Bloodbowl/Dungeonbowl tournament on New Year's Day. If you are thinking about attending other Game Nights during Dec., let me know and we can make a special arrangement. 🙂
  8. I'll be there between noon and 12:30pm, to prep the blackboard in the big room for the Senate meeting at 1pm. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! 😃
  9. This last Saturday Game Day, we played KT games on a table setup that I like to call "The Cargo Container Challenge". There's also plenty of other good terrain at the clubhouse, suitable for Kill Team.
  10. 1. I guess it depends on what time of game you are looking for. Right now, Tuesday nights primarily have Bloodbowl and some Necromunda players. Thursday nights mostly have 40k and occasional Necromunda & Kill Team players. On Saturdays, most of the players show up for Kill Team, but some play 40k. Lastly, on Sundays we have a mix of 40k, 30k, Saga, Battletech, and a few other games being played. If you are looking for a game for one of the systems above, I would try posting in the specific GN thread for the night that has other players showing up. If you are looking for a game that isn't listed above, I would try posting a message in the GN forum detailing the game you want to play and the times/days of the week you are available. 2. Right now, we are running a special deal at GN where if you pay for either a Warlord membership ($30) or Emperor membership ($100), your membership dues will automatically include the rest of this year thru January 2023. That way, you won't have to worry about paying the $5 GN fee for non-champions if you haven't purchased dues for 2021. Let me know if you have any further questions about GN, @dorril. 😀 Also, I should mention that @ImperialTrooper is planning to host the Game Day for Saturday, Dec. 11th. I'm sure he'll be posting on this thread soon about any other details for that day.
  11. PS I actually STILL have this poster. 😀
  12. I'm planning to be there to open up the clubhouse around 10:45am. Looking for 1-2 games of kill team, provided I have an opponent. Please post here if you plan on attending.
  13. 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 $5 for Ordo Members, $2 for Ordo Warlord Champions, and FREE for Emperors! As always, your first Game Night is FREE! THE GAMES If you're looking to game we will be here. Opting to lay low? Stay home and stay safe, we'll catch you next time. THE MISSION Games we play: All, with a focus on Warhammer 40k, Bloodbowl, Necromunda, War Cry, board games and more. 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. BUT WHAT ABOUT COVID-19? Due to the current Multnomah county mask mandate, all attendees must wear masks. Players are encouraged to spread out their games and avoid congestion. Do not attend game night if you experience any of the symptoms found here. GAME NIGHT EXPECTATIONS If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s taught us we don’t need more stress in our lives. As a result, Ordo is expecting an even greater level of friendliness and fellowship at Game Night than our normal high expectations. Please be aware that as always, the Czar has the ability to ask a player to leave if the Czar feels it necessary. Games are meant to be fun, so let’s have fun.

  15. Thanks to @ImperialTrooper and @Kampfer for coming out today. Hope you guys like the pint glasses!! 😎
  16. Gonna stop by Guardian Games before I get to the clubhouse, but doors should be open by 10:30am. See you all there!
  17. I believe @Exile found a copy in the Ordo archives, so I think it's already been taken care of. 😃
  18. I'll be there with my Kill teams. Looking to play 1-2 games of KT that day, if possible. I'll open at 10:30am and then will need to run a short errand around 11am. Please post here if you plan on attending.
