I was just perusing the event book for a convention next week and was happy 
to see one World of Angst game, 2 Feng Shui, 1 Unknown Armies, 1 Castle 
Falkenstein (plus a LARP), 10 AD&D, 4 D&D 3E (Wow!), 1 Blue Planet, 3 
CoC, 1 GURPS (mine!), 1 L5R, 1 Heavy Gear, 1 Noir, 1 Over the Edge, 1 
Paranoia, 1 Shadowrun, 1 Teenagers FOS, and 2 Underworld RPG games. 
Quite a nice broad range of games, and several that are out-of-print. And I've 
found 3 other people who are TFT enthusiasts in town. There's hope!

That's just wrong.

Great scene.
