Five days to go! If you don't feel like driving to a Nationals Qualifier, come play the game you love for a good cause!

After-event update: We had a good turnout of 25 players, and we raised a $436 donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I'd like to thank the players for coming, and I'd like to thank my sponsors for the kind support that made this event possible: UT-BASH, Gameology Supply Co Ltd, Game Room Comics, and House of Games.

The player response was overwhelmingly positive, and we all had a good time while raising money for a good cause. I'm definitely motivated to do this again, so I'll most likely organize another Cast a Spell on MS in Spring 2011. Stay tuned!
