Ogre Origins

If you're currently viewing this page, then you most likely already know all there is to know about the lovable group of gamers known as the Quilt City Ogres. However, for that .000002 percent of people who actually happened upon the group, whether via local word of mouth, hilarious youtube shenanigans, or a series of tubes, we'd like to first introduce ourselves to you and explain who we are and where we come from.

WHAT WE ARE:

The Quilt City O.G.R.E.s are a gaming group from Paducah, KY. The name stems from two separate things. The first is the nickname of our hometown (due to it's humble hosting of the Quilt Museum and annual Quilt Festival - we know you're impressed). The second is an abbreviated term for the Organizations of Gamers & Roleplaying Enthusiasts. In english, that means a bunch of gaming geeks from a town in Western Kentucky who play all ranges of games, from the standard tabletop standards (i.e. scrabble, risk) to RPGs (i.e. Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars). We exist as a networking tool for regional gamers to find like-minded individuals to boost the joy of our hobby, as well as to slay the orcs.

WHO WE ARE:

Our "core" founding members include many local gamers. These include photographer Walter "Neodymium" Pfieffer-Thompson, promoter Hooper, hospitalist Jake "Caveman" Kubitchek, political science major Charles "Pizza Hands" Ringstaff, famed arithmatic James "Wames" Wallace, singer/songwriter David "Davo" Waddell, and way too many more to list. However, we welcome all regional gamers to accept the affectionate title of Ogres. Ogresociates include the wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, and mistresses of the Ogres.

Now that we've managed to fill you in just a bit about who we are, we welcome you to browse our website and get in touch with us if you wish to game alongside us. Convention and other Event coordinators may wish to have Ogres on Location at their event, and should also contact us.

Keep coming back to our blog here for updates on what is going on in the Quilt City and read first-hand accounts of gaming happenings and campaign progression. Until then,
