Organized Play season has officially begun!

Running now through the end of the year, Cornerstone events are the heart of local 

communities - a celebration of gameplay, camaraderie, and connection. Hosted by the very stores that serve as the cornerstones of the realm, these events invite new players and returning veterans alike to gather, play, and tell their stories in the realm.

 kicked off across multiple continents, and the response has been incredible. From new friendships forged over the battlefield to thrilling top-deck victories, these opening events captured the very essence of 

- tactical depth, imaginative art, and rich community storytelling.

“We just loved it! This event was just a great opportunity to spend a day with the warm 

 community and have fun battling for the realm!” shared Nicolas, part of a dynamic father-son duo who joined in the fun at Plenty of Games in Melbourne, Australia.

Our next Cornerstone event kicks off this weekend at No Land Beyond in Baltimore! If you’re looking to join the fun, it’s easy to find - or register for a Cornertsone event near you!

The excitement isn’t limited to local play. While next week's 128-person 

is sold out, there's still time to get involved in Europe’s first Crossroads event taking place September 27–28, 2025, and hosted by the White Rabbit Community Game Store in the Metropole Ruhr region of Germany.

If you’re part of the European Sorcery community—or simply looking for the perfect reason to embark on a pilgrimage to a larger gathering—this event promises an unforgettable celebration of the game, its players, and the stories they bring to life.

Cornerstone events mark the beginning of each player’s path through the realm, but the journey doesn’t end there. These local celebrations lead to Crossroads Championships - larger regional gatherings that elevate the Sorcery experience through narrative-rich play, new friendships, and shared discoveries.

Whether you’re a seasoned Avatar or just stepping into the realm for the first time, there’s a place for you in Sorcery’s Organized Play system. And with more events being added every week, now’s the perfect time to get involved.

Thank you to all the players, stores, and community leaders who made the opening weekend of Cornerstone a success. Together, we’re building out the realm - one story, one store, and one match at a time.
