Update:
The web page doesn't yet confirm, but the Winter War Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/488317051201109/ has that this years Winter War will be at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Champaign-Urbana, IL. (the regular site is being renovated)
Registration is supposed to open in the beginning of December. I'll post more information at that time. By then, the games list will be complete.
As of now, we will have 4 tables to run up to 8 games of Mage Wars for 8 hours on Saturday, January 27, 2018. After registration we can set up the matchups and register spell books.
If you go to the winter war site, for this event it says, "Presented by: Mage Wars featuring Virgil Varvel". I asked them to change that. I am definitely not a feature. I've only been playing about 6 months now, but I love the game and wanted to run an event. My friend farkas1 (who's been playing for years) will be there for any rules questions.
Arcane Wonders graciously supplied several prizes, and I've added a few others including a copy of the warlord expansion. But then the main prize is having fun playing Mage Wars with new and old friends.
While we will try to supply markers as needed, if you are playing a non-core mage, as many of you probably will, you will want to bring markers specific for your mage. Otherwise, we will probably run out. Between farkas1 and me we have at least 3 of every set with plenty of boards and stuff, but it never hurts to be prepared.
For those just checking us out at the event, I will have the four apprentice spell books available.
That's all I know to add right now.
