The convention center was mostly done. This picture is unfair; it was really just this skywalk that had problems.

This picture is totally fair. The line went out the door and down the block. May I advise preregistration? You'll thank me.

Note the quarter, included in this picture for scale. Paul Gerardi is mad.

This is me dominating a completely meaningless draft game. I cleverly controlled the game in order to get 14 tie-breaker points, despite being mathematically eliminated from the finals. My Shadowfist play sucked this weekend.

I found out from the Indianapolis Star that these were Tzimisce costumes. Well done stuff.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Richard there bought me martinis. Yay Richard!

Elle's way cool, and I'm glad she came over to the States. Next: Patrick.

Bleys, do not lick the Canadian. Unless he enjoys it. I guess it's legal up there, anyhow.

And cheerful! Probably cause Elle's around; see her there in the background?

This is a banner of all the Magic cards ever printed, in order, actual size. Ye gods.

Actually, the lighting just sucked. But there's where it all began.

Big big big card city. Lots of cards. There have been an awful lot of failed CCGs over the years.
يوليو 27, 2003
The card city was gone Sunday morning. One shudders. Glad I wasn't on cleanup.
يوليو 27, 2003
Yet more of the card city. Cardopolis or something like that. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure destroying it was a prearranged event.

The WotC Booth was way big, way spiffy, and way without any particular Gen Con release. Pfeh. Oh, I guess 3.5 counts, but come on. It's been in bookstores for a week!

Upper Deck grabbed the other big booth spot. They were showing off a Spongebob Squarepants CCG and a Marvel CCG. Kind of undertrafficked for the size.

The Forge, home of indie RPGs from all over. Darned fun place to hang out.

AEG had a lot of floorspace and a big banner and plenty of stuff to sell, even if they didn't have some spiffed up booth. Other big spaces: Wizkids, White Wolf, and the big Atlas/SJG/whoever combine. Oh, and Kenzer. And someone else I've forgotten.
