Mark Tedin
Mark came on board as a freelance artist at Wizards of the Coast in the summer of 1992.

When Mark's not working on Wizards of the Coast projects, he enjoys hanging out and drawing in Seattle cafes, designing sets for theatrical productions, or going to science fiction movies.

Ca a été plutôt l'hécatombe côté belge. J'ai l'impression que la nuit du vendredi au samedi n'a pas été très bénéfique pour le jeu individuel (mais je suis sûr que l'esprit d'équipe y était :p) ...

Bon, des motivés pour Annecy ?

Wow Wafo Papa 15è après 13 rounds (et go Peter)

Pourquoi "wow" ? oO

Parce que ça fait un bout de temps qu'on ne l'a plus vu ?
Allez, une dernière victoire pour Peter et il est top8

Peter Vieren en demi.

Et perd.

Quand je lis le rapport je me dis qu'il a eu une bonne dechatte sur ses sorties en 1/2 quand même.

Il avait un chouette deck en tout cas, on y croyait! Mais le gars en demi avait un sale deck aussi hein
