And we promise it will be far more satisfying of an experience than the finale of some high-priced rushed TV Fantasy Epic! This year, Winter War will be held at the IHG Champaign Suites, which is the same place it's been for the last few years, just under a different name!
Now that Labor Day is past, it's time to start submitting your games for inclusion in our event catalog! Just head on over to our event form to submit your event. Make sure to give it a snazzy title and description!
You can always browse through our GM Policies, our Attendee Policies, and our General Attendance Information.
The hotel now has a website for this year, and you can get there by visiting the official Holiday Inn Website, but we highly recommend making your bookings by phone, to ensure that you're included in our convention rate! These fine folks have been great hosts to us year after year, and we look forward to the same stellar treatment, convention space, and fresh food that we have had in past years.
Thank you all for your continued support! Please feel free to drop us a line over on our Official Facebook Page if you need anything at all. We look forward to seeing you all in January!
