  2. Fellow Fanatics,

    There is a Google calendar for Warhammer 40k tournaments, leagues, and major US events for the latter quarter of 2023 and the bulk of 2024. You can find it here.

    As of this post, I'm the one updating it. The initial criteria was events within a day's trip from PDX (Bethany, specifically.) Since Chase of Pecking Order has included this Google calendar on his website and discord channel, I've expanded it to the Pacific Northwest (OR, WA, ID, BC) and those huge events bringing in the hundreds.

    May this resource motivate; or bring fear!

  3. Fellow Fanatics,

    Your '24 Senate will be conducting their first meeting this Sunday. By the graces of our Consul and Proconsul, there will be a printed agenda. Among many other topics, I'm sure the topic of "how much should Warwick overshare?" will be addressed.

    Because I'll do it, you know. I'll overshare in paragraphs. Paragraphs!!! 📝🤪

    From our Consul and Proconsul, topics of discussion will be:

    • Championship Drive/Push for '24
    • OFCC Planning Committee
    • Reports on Past Leagues/Events
      • BCC
      • Blood Bowl
      • Necromunda
    • Updates to Game Night Schedule

  4. Fellow Ordo Fanatics,

    May this proclamation find you in good health and cheer. Per our charter, a new Senate has been raised from the glory of the old. Below you will find the roster of peers who have stepped forward to volunteer time and efforts to the administrative duties necessary to facilitate a most excellent environment for our fellow hobbyists and wargamers. Some of these names you will be familiar with – those empowered by you and your success – while others are new, seeking to emulate the dedication of those who came before. Each of us are here to build on our shared ethos of fun, quality time, and sportsmanship.

    2023 was a year, in a long line of years, we will file under “interesting times.” As we process this life in the 21st century, your Senate’s hope is that Ordo Fanaticus will be a positive influence in your hobby and game journey. For the good of the Order.

  5. Scott, I'm not sure how collaborative you want to get; but Jonathan (jonnylectitio on discord) and Zack (eldrago_1 on discord) are working -- independently -- on this style of terrain. Jonathan is going the 3D route, while Zack is going MDF.

    The TO circle in the PNW has also been providing a lot of input to those building up terrain sets. I believe the only deviation has been our brothers over in the Hillsboro area (PPM) who are tailoring their terrain more towards some WTC/European style changes.
