SEATTLE -- What do you play when you're at your own show?

In the final minutes before Penny Arcade Expo opened its doors Friday morning, founders Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins made a beeline for the booth of Wells Expeditions, who were showing a new tabletop strategy game called Arcane Legions.
