| I am posting this because we need players in Roanoke! While the last pre-release, Unhallowed, saw people turned away in North Carolina - less than 3 hours away, I was the only person to show up at Star City Games in Roanoke. I don't want to repeat this again and hope some of you reading this will consider visiting southwest Virginia. The store is huge and is set up to run tournaments. Here are some of the details:

| | GuJiaXian, I saw the $25 as well and have not contacted the store to confirm, but I believe they are probably trying to do this to attract people who may have to come further to play. I just hope Iam not the only one to show up again. | |
