Last year we saw a huge turnout at the Sheraton for the pre and improptu post PAX boardgame sessions. This year I'm planning on doing a couple things that I hope will really make things smoother for us and for the people who work there. If you have a suggestion for a place better than the Sheraton please recommend, but the facilities are large enough and it's perfectly located for this. Also in the plans are some Looking for group and looking for players tags so an empty game can fill up quickly.
I'll update this OP with the people coming and the games they're bringing. If you would like to schedule a game of something, post in this thread the name of it, how many players it seats, when you're starting and how long it lasts. for example: Battlestar Galactica + Exodus Expansion, Seats 7. Starting at 8:00, run time 3 hours.
If you are interested in boardgames but haven't played anything past monopoly please feel free to come! There are a ton of easy to learn games to dip your feet in and lots of people eager to get you playing them. If you'd like to come by after the pub crawl great, just don't vomit on our chits!
If you want to bring a game then I'll list it so people can get a general idea of what's going to be there. If you'd like to schedule a game just put up what you got, and times you want to play it.

Also, the link to your photos says they're not publicly viewable.
Thanks, fixed! As soon as a PAX schedule comes out I'll look at times. I believe we started at 6 last year, and it seemed like a pretty good time to do so. Probably plan it on the heels of the Pre-PAX dinner (if one is happening this year)
Google +
I demo for Steve Jackson, so that would cover most of what I would have. Munchkin, Revolution, Zombie Dice mainly.
I'll play almost anything, and can teach anything.
Google +
In any case, I'll probably toss Jungle Speed, We Didn't Playtest This at All, and Bang! into my bag as filler games, but I'm up for pretty much anything.
We will be staying at the Sheraton.

EDIT: 6PM the day before. Hmm... the train doesn't arrive until 8-10pm. >_> Hopefully people are going to play well into the night.

I have Settlers of Catan (which I bought at PAX LAST year and haven't found anyone to play with in my tiny rural town) and would love to play it it at least once.
I also have some variant of Fluxx around here somewhere.
So the Pre-PAX dinner is from 6 to 8 and is 21+. I was thinking around 7 for the boardgames. Gives us around 5-8 hours for boardgaming depending on how late you want to stay up. Early enough for people to come by after the dinner and Triwizard Drinking Tournament. What do you people think?

Last year I went to bed the first night around 1 in the morning. People played past me. We'll be there when you get to seattle
That's happened to me before as well. I'm hoping scheduling games on this thread will help that. Something like "Playing Chaos in the Old World starting at 7:30, expected run time 2 and a half hours. Seats 5 players"
Google +
Anyone have an opinion about whether I should schedule 2 slots for 2 mid-length games or 1 slot for a biggie? Ex: 7:00-Wrath of Ashardalon 8:30-Khronos OR 7:00-Battlestar Galactica. What say you all?
(PS - Totally want to show off our new painted Ravenloft & Ashardalon!)

I would LOVE to be in a game of Battlestar. Do you own the expansions?

I don't own the expansions (yet) but it'll definitely be BSG.
Time: 7:00
Seats: 4 Available, (6 total, LexiconGrrl & JobiWanKenobi for 2 seats)
Length: 3-4 Hours

We've got loads of games. I think he may end up bringing some oddball ones since it seems most people have Dominion, munchkin etc pretty well covered. I'll get with him and find out what he's planning and drop it back here. I know that THIS is what he loves the most about PAX.
Putting out a call for a Chaos in the Old World game at 9. Seats 5 players, need 4 more.

Awesome, I've always wanted to play! I'm coming in on the train, and my post-pax schedule is starting to look a little squishy, but we should arrange something. I mostly hang around TT at the con itself anyway.
Some things to keep in mind: The D&D games take up a lot of room and time but are super-fun. Same with Descent.
We Didn't Playtest This is epically awesome
I have most of the standards, plus Power Grid, Brass and plenty of others, including Battleship! (the new, $65 one that's more of a wargame)
I'd prefer to run a game/show off Yomi, and am willing to run a game of Cutthroat Caverns (like Munchkin but fun).
I'd like playing the original AH Civilization, but I haven't gotten a game in in under 100 hours yet.
Google +
I love power grid, and I'd love to play it sometime at the get together.

In related news, I could be persuaded to bring down my copy of Betrayal at House on the Hill on Sunday. The Pre-PAX one might be a bit hard for me to make, considering I'd be going down there either on bus or by bugging parental units for a ride, but I'll see if I can't get down there that day as well.
I also have a fully-expanded copy of Thunderstone I could lug down as well.

Same here. Definitely want to try out some more advanced strategic games. Arriving on the train Thurs evening & staying at the Sheraton so maybe I'll swing by after check-in.
