Autumn Wars has had to be canceled.
We have lost our venue due to the increase of the Delta variant.  Trinity University has recently undergone a high spike in positive cases.  Their main goal during these times is to keep their students safe.  (and rightly so) We were among a number of events that had to canceled.  We did have short time to seek out an alternate location, but logistically, none were viable.  The BOD apologizes for the inconvenience this may have caused.  Badge refunds will be available via Table Top Events,
