Common Ground Games is pleased to be one of the inaugural stores for the Altered World Championship Qualifiers! In anticipation of the desire for the coveted invite to the World Championship (only 24 people world wide!) and paid trip to Paris, France, we’ve decided to hold this event off-site!

Partnering with QuakeCon, we’ll be holding this event at the lovely Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center! This allows us to have up to 256 players participating the day of. While you do have to purchase a separate convention ticket (as little as $15), it does get you access to all the fun things at the convention!
