I live in Lancaster, so I'll be sticking my head in! Sadly, am leaving for vacation the 8th, so won't be available for the finals, but this should be a lot of fun!

Kich,

Great news. See you there. I will be around for open gaming too if you want to play casual games of Mage Wars. I am bringing all my spellbooks and expansions.
