So sorry m, it’s open

One of the WOW guys might be in the big room when people arrive, don’t be alarmed.

Hey all. I’ll be around to open up around 4p and get the AC units going. If the door is open and the lights are on, come on up. I have an early flight tomorrow so I’m looking to close up no later than 8:30p.

It is forecasted to be 88°F, so it will be a little toasty. There are new ACs at the club which should help.

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! 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, Blood Bowl, 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. 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.

I got the 3D-printed Mindtaker Mayhem tokens from @scottshoemaker tonight. Absolutely terrific. I’m going to paint one then share it. I can’t wait for you guys to see them.

OWA it is!

I’m considering running the next season of the Ordo Blood Bowl League out of the clubhouse this fall. It will be a fixed-schedule league for new teams, and any teams that have exclusively played in the OBBL last season. This is a no concession league, except when you are unable to field at least three players for the drive. Tuesdays will be game night, but it is not mandatory. You may schedule your games for any mutually agreed location, and at any day and time of the week, though Tuesdays at the clubhouse is preferred. No optional rules or optional inducements will be allowed. Please let me know if interested.

Woot!!

Determine (Roll/Flip) who kicks-off Differences in Team Value are not considered, so the Prayers to Nuffle table is unused. You are given 1,120,000 gold pieces to build your team.

You can not have the same Star Player as your opponent. If both of you attempt to field the same player, then that star player has swindled you both! Neither coach may field them. Also, you cannot use Igors or Apothecaries on Star Players per the rule book. All new star players from the Second Season Edition and subsequent Spike Journals will be allowed. Second Season Edition has given Star Players each their own “Special Rule”. If you have a Star Player on your roster, you are expected to explain the “Special Rule” to your opponent.

A single player with TWO Primary Skills will cost 14 SPP. Star Players – in addition to their hiring fee – cost you an extra 12 SPP Due to popularity and market demand… Morg, Griff and Hackflem cost 18 SPP (not 12) Awards: * Mindtaker Mayhem Champion (most tournament points) * Best Defense (fewest TD’s allowed) * Best Offense (most TD’s scored) * Most Brutal (most casualties inflicted) Coaches may only win one award.

The Bronze Brawlers are Champions! In typical College of Metal fashion, the Bronze Brawlers battled in a bloody affair with their Metal brothers Coaxial Cable to win the first ever Ordo Dungeon Bowl League championship! Congratulations to coach Ironwolf on the momentous victory. When asked how coach Frostitute is handling the defeat, he explained he was going to drown his sorrows in some potent greenskin fungus.

This is specifically a BB2 PC league. I run a BB2 PS4 league.

For everyone else’s benefit, I’ve chose to allow the Beer Boar access to the same skill categories the positional has in Blood Bowl.

The first twelve coaches will receive a commemorative coin at the Ordo Collegiate All-Star Bowl
