Our Doomtown banner, still hanging proud over the World Championships. This is its second year in service. Saturday morning, three of our group participated in a Scrabble tournament. Here, Chris watchs Mike play Scott, while Shannon has her match two games up. Mike ended up doing really well, beating one Scrabble pro and losing to another in the finals. He contested the word "vino." I hate Scrabble.

Here's me and Rhonda facing off against game designer Reiner Knizia at Lord of the Rings. It was a pleasure to lose; he was a courteous Sauron. Meanwhile, back in the exhibit hall, random folks enjoy a life-sized Icehouse game at the Looney Labs booth.

Batman and Spider-Man lurk over the Upper Deck booth, where we demoed the Marvel Vs. game. Badass! On the right is a long shot of the WizKids area, during one of the few times the place wasn't encircled with conventioneers standing in line to buy the rare Galactus HeroClix figure.

And here's me with my hero.
