The Location – Geeks & Games, Oregon City, Oregon

Geeks & Games has been an excellent host for the local Blood & Plunder club. They stock a full lineup of product from Firelock Games, with a special emphasis on Blood & Plunder and they provide plenty of space for our weekly meetups. The staff is friendly and works hard to make sure everyone has a place to game, games to buy, and drinks to enjoy if that’s your thing.

Geeks & Games has supported Blood & Plunder since they opened, the same year that Blood & Plunder was first on Kickstarter! They currently have ships, units, starter sets, activation cards, boats, fortifications, rulebooks, and commander models in stock, along with some terrain and game mats appropriate to the game. They also have the full line of Port Royal product, along with other Blood & X games rulebooks in stock.

Geeks & Games also supports and sells other games including Star Wars: Legion, Middle Earth Battle Strategy Game, Flames of War, various CCG’s, Warhammer, and various other wargames and and a wide variety of board games (used & new). They also have a good selection of puzzles, and a great selection of paints, brushes and hobby materials.

The store is about 30-40 minutes south of Portland.

There are several good dining options nearby including the Wild Hare Saloon right next door (fine bar food), several Mexican options, a teriyaki place, a quality pizzaria, and a terrible Burger King (if you’re into that sotre of thing) all within 300 feet. If you need to bring home some goodies for your kids, there’s a Lego store just around the corner!

Blood & Plunder has recently been added to the Longshanks website and we will be using this system for this tournament.

Summer of Plunder

This event is taking place during the epic Summer of Plunder campaign, so make sure you log your games for your chosen team. If you want accomplish the objective for the week, it’s a tough one for a tournament: Heavily Armed – Include Cannons or Heavy Melee Weapons in your Force.

And remember playing at a public place earns you an extra campaign point as well!

Blood & Pigment Team

Joseph will be running the event, and Riley is planning on attending, along with Don and maybe Bryan and some other familiar faces you’ve seen on the Blood & Pigment channel or blog.

Make Plans Now!

This should be a fun event! If you’ve never participated in a Blood & Plunder tournament, this should be a great way to jump on in. It shouldn’t be a massive crowd, and we’re (mostly) a friendly crew! Great store, great game, good food, great prizes, and good company! Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 18th!

There’s a rumor there will be an epic game of Gaslands on Friday night around 6:30 at Dice Age across the river in WA.
