For the record, Disorganization XIII will be bringing a Magic the Gathering cube and will be holding drafts if anyone wants to play.
We would like to ask for help in a couple matters. We have the capability to bring BlazBlue Continuum Shift, as long as someone has a gaming PC or Laptop capable of running it. We have PC controllers and everything else that would be needed we just don’t have a PC that is portable enough to run it.
We also have the capability to bring Brawl+ and can run it on any Wii that doesn’t have any smash brothers custom stages on it.

I will try and ask around for the extra components you need help on.
