!!Attention all Ordoites!! The Senate of Ordo Fanaticus offers to you one of the best opportunities of the year to put on the best wargaming event of 2020: THE ORDO FANATICUS CLUB CHALLENGE (OFCC) No, this is not your run of the mill tournament. This is not a one day GT. This is not a tournament held at a convention. This is OFCC. It is an event we, the Senate, treasure enough to host each year. We do it to celebrate YOU, the Ordo Fanaticus Clubs and Communities. We want to repay you for all that you do for everyone else here on the boards, at your local gaming stores, and the spirit you bring with you to all of your games. OFCC is hosted by Ordo Fanaticus. We reserve 14,000 sqft of glorious, beautiful gaming space at the Hilton in downtown Vancouver for 3 days of gaming. We fill it with tournaments and gaming events run by individuals of the community. We call these people Heads of Gaming or HoGs. This post is our way to solicit you for submissions to be a HoG at the next OFCC, running July 24, 2020, through July 26, 2020. If you want to be a HoG, send a submission with the following criteria to me via PM. We want a number of different gaming systems and events going on all weekend. Please, contact us, and let us know your idea. Even if you do not have all the details, put as much as you can into a submission and we can work with you to see how we can include it at OFCC. Never run an event before and you have motivation and an idea?? Perfect! Contact @DisruptiveConduct, @ninefinger, or @Burk and we can help you make your event a reality. Your admissions should be in this format (we even fill out some of it for you). o What: <Event Title> o When: OFCC 2020, a specific day or days for July 24 thru July 26 o Where: The Hilton in Downtown Vancouver o Why: Because we want to game! o Number of Players (min/max): o Number of Days: One, two, or even three day events can be considered o Event Style: GT, Round Robin, Swiss pairings, etc. Go into as much detail as possible if there is no standard to compare to. o Budget: Monetary costs for tournament supplies, printing costs, awards, trophies, etc. o Missions and Scenarios: Get creative with it! o Point Value: o Scoring: We want to invite you to do scoring as you see fit with one of caveat: Sportsmanship is REQUIRED. We focus on Sportsmanship more than winning and want to celebrate all aspects of the hobby including generalship and painting. o Achievements and Awards: Extra things for your players to add fun and dynamic new twists. Your proposal should include a brief summary of your vision for the event and why you wish to be Head of Gaming. If selected, you will work with the Campaign Czar (that’s me, @DisruptiveConduct) and others on the Senate in designing, organizing, and running the event. As an OFCC event, you may be required to make changes based on the needs of the event and to maintain the spirit of the event. This is especially true for our usual premiere events, like the Team 40k 2 day. Due to the potentially high number of projected participants, the HoGs for those systems should be prepared to be flexible with their proposal. The last day to submit for HoG is Feb 9, 2020. The final selections for HoGs will be made by February 28, 2020. Please start drafting your submissions as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to @DisruptiveConduct, @ninefinger, or @Burk. We are all available to help make your gaming dreams a reality! -
Is there any interest in having a traditional paint competition (bring a painted model that is displayed and judged) at OFCC 2020? Is anyone interested in collaborating with me to help make this a thing? Still plenty of time to get a submission together!

great times Post OFCC Thanks
DisruptiveConduct posted a topic in Proclamations - *New Users Start Here**
WE DID IT! OFCC 2019 COMPLETE!! Well, what can we say? Did we all have a great time? Did we all get 5 great games? Did we all make new friends, enemies, or even frienemies (half friend, half enemy)? I certainly did! I would like for all of you take this time while basking in the afterglow of gaming glory to reach out and say "THANK YOU" to the following people who worked very hard to make all of OFCC a reality. @Blustorm - Club Treasurer and Historian, this guy rocks it! Not only did he successfully run the very first OFCC boardgame event (M-A-R-S), he was on hand to ringer for Ordo Bowl AND was available to pack up all the terrain used for the entire event. @ninefinger - Club Consul and all round dreamboat, his calm demeanor and stellar attitude kept all of us in a good place all weekend. He frequently manned the admin table and handled many issues that always come up at the last minute. @evil_bryan - All of us can only hope to look so good at 50! THE guy running the 40K event this year. All I heard was good things from the 40K players. From the missions to the event pins and trophies to the completely 3D printed 6x4 table, we are always happy to see his work appreciated. @Weav - I have to really give it to him. He runs one helluva event. Huge turn outs. Lots of fun. I never could imagine Blood Bowl could be so popular until I met him. @Burk - Crushed in with the very first Ordo BRAFT at OFCC. Everyone needs to buy this guy a diet coke whenever they see him. He stores and transports all the table toppers that pretty much every game system is played on except Blood Bowl, yet he only plays Blood Bowl. THAT is some gamer love right there. @Raindog - Pub Quiz Maestro and Pro-Consul, this guy orangized the Fluger Bag Raffle that raised over $500 dollars for our dear friend. This guy always helps with everything from table setup and to tear down. @Exile - So, when everyone got home did they look inside their swag bag? Did you find one of the most awesome giveaways possible in the form of a OFCC 2019 velcro-backed patch? If you think it is as awesome as I do, please tell this guy. He also orchestrated the entire weekend of Infinity events. @peter.cosgrove - TO for the 40K ITC Open, he ran one of the most casual and relaxed ITC events I have ever seen. He also put in hard work to make enough terrain for three full tables. And then we went on to lead a 40K team through the events of the weekend. @ROGRE - The strong and silent type, this guy helps out where ever he is needed. Admin table, disciplinary committee, and all round great Mars player, we want this guy there every year. @Jay - This year he really got to shine as the creator and designer of the OFCC 2019 logo. @Dark Trainer Our secret weapon for merchandise and sponsorship. This guy arranges to have the shirts and pint glasses made. He solicits stores and companies for the prize support used for the raffle and giveaways. Then he went on to captain an entire team of OFCC newbies! @Bosco - our newest member of the Senate, he took his hazing with a smile and is still showing up the club. Good on ya! This list is by no means extensive. There are so many other responsibilities and duties that need attention and are not mentioned here. OFCC is never just one person. It is the entire club, its members, and its spirit. For the Good of the Order! -

Hilton Vancouver 301 W. 6th St. Vancouver, WA, 98660 Hotel Group Code: OWG for our special discount rate! Click this link to book your room now! Hello everyone! I wanted to take some time to put together a good informational post about our venue. Some of you might already be familiar and we are happy to see you returning. For all the new people coming through, this venue is the nicest place I have seen an OFCC happen. From the humble beginnings of the barn and the armory, the Hilton delivers comfort and luxury like no other! Map & Directions The Gaming Hall We booked the largest venue offered by the Hilton, The Heritage Ballroom. That’s 11,000 square feet dedicated to your gaming weekend. High pile carpets caress your feet as you stand across from your opponents (Yes, I played barefoot one year). 18 feet of ceiling space softens the roar of battle coming from across the hall. Brilliant dynamic lighting sets the mood and provides for a not-so-squinty Sunday morning. A dedicated entrance on the east side of the Hilton along with a section of 5 minute parking make loading your things into the hall fast and convenient. Parking Parking is not included in your room stay. The Hilton has parking in their secure garage for $18 per day. However, there are plenty of parking options for the weekend. Any public metered spot is available for free on the weekend. There is also a cheaper pay garage NE of the Hilton, the Park N’ Go located with an entrance off W 6th St. Feel free to use the 5 minute loading/unloading zone located off Columbia St to unload your army and bags into the hall. Please note, we will be using part of this area for loading/unloading of terrain and tables Sunday at 4PM. Local Attractions What venue would be complete without some cool stuff around it? The Downtown Vancouver area always delivers. Almost all of it walkable. The Vancouver Farmers Market takes place every weekend morning across the street in Esther Short Park. Esther Short Park will host Viva Vancouver Latin Festival on the same weekend. Loowit Brewing Company is right out the hall doors and across the street. They fill growlers! Joe’s Crab Shack and its infamously long wait times is within walking distance and will provide Shark Bites by the tray full. Take a tour of the new waterfront reconstruction built on top of the hollowed gaming grounds previously provided by the Red Lion at the Quay. So many other restaurants, bars, and everything else all right next to a great gaming weekend. Please follow the steps below to get our discounted room rate before they are all gone! We have a limited amount of rooms available at this low price, so act fast. The room block closes on 8/9 and has the possibility of running out of rooms. We cannot wait to see you there! For the Good of the Order! You can book through this link or follow the instructions below to do it the manual way.

This will be the 2nd year for Ordo East making the treck to OFCC. We will be the 2nd team coming from Ohio. We pulled a 4th place overall with inaugural appearance last year, We hope to keep that train rolling this year now tha we are all seasoned veterans..... Team Captain Craeat - Rob @Craeat This is his 3rd year at OFCC. He was a member of Team Diversity 3 years ago for his inaugural trip to OFCC. Ever since then he was bitten by the OFCC bug. Some of you may remember him as the bringer of the Mastodon a couple of years ago, that became an unofficial achievement to kill it. He has been playing 40K for about 4 - 5 years now and is looking forward to another trip to OFCC as a captain. He will be once again be at helm of the might of the Black Templars. StygianArcanum - Stuart @StygianArcanum Stuart is eager to return this year to OFCC. An old-timey 5th Edition player originally, the crew from Team Diversity and Phoenix Nest re-awakened his gaming synapses after a long college dormancy. Appropriately, he will once again be commanding the indestructible Necron legions as the forces of the Sa'atun Dynasty continue to rise... Wyattlanger - Wyatt @Wyattlanger Wyatt will be returning for his second year at OFCC. His love of money and pieces of plastic (one more than the other) is the driving force that has brought him back this year. He will have a new force of a Imperial Fist and Custodes to share his love with everyone at OFCC. Torg - Don @Torg :::Bio transmission incoming::: He will be at the helm of a Eldar force. Team Ordo East has completed the All In achievement This will be updated as the rest of the info is compiled by the librarian.
