    Yeah, I'm disappointed by that as well. But to answer your question I'm also bringing my core books, though I don't have any splats or minis.

    What are the RoboRally rules then, if not 4p single elimination?

    Also any chance for more tournaments? (Ahem, RftG). Realize not but thought I'd ask anyway!

    And Dominion is using random kingdom cards from base I assume?

    So what's the plan for after hours board gaming? Are we going to do this at the convention hall or was there another place planned?

    Well apparently the tabletop room will be open until 2 AM? Is that confirmed?

    Seems like a good place to throw down some polyhedrals.

    Where tabletop gaming has more than one room at this convention, which room will TTHQ be located in? Also, will TTHQ have sign-up sheets for all the tabletop gaming tournaments (I'm particularly interested in Munchkin)?

    After skimming through the posts I've seen a lot of stuff about board, minature, and card games but I haven't seen much about pen and paper rpgs. I know WotC has there own D&D stuff going on, but what about other ones? I was personally hoping to get in some Shadowrun but wouldn't mind something else.

    Hey, I know there's a tournament on Friday night for Warhammer Fantasy, but I'm not a big fan of 1250, I was wondering if there's anyone who'd want to play a 2000 pt game or two on Friday night?

    So any confirmed Warmachine players? I wouldn't mind getting in a game or two, but I'm not going to bring anything without confirmed opponents, it's too bulky and fragile.

    Im excited about PAX in a week, but I looked at my collection today and wondered what I should take for the tabletop gaming space. I want to bring one or two games and I have: BSG/Warhammer: chaos in the old world/Ticket to ride/ Carcossane/ Dominion/ Puerto Rico/ Race for the galaxy. What do you guys think I should bring?

    I've got a few things packed in a bag for the train. I probably won't bring all of it into PAX, being that tabletop will likely have some of it, but I've packed Munchkin/Munchkin 2/Munchkin Dice, Dominion/Intrigue, Zombie Fluxx and the Catan Card Game.

    Finalized what we're bringing. I'm just getting together some good player aids now to teach people with (and to remind myself with for games I haven't played in a while).

    -Arkham Horror+Dunwich
    -Dominion+expansions
    -Race for the Galaxy+expansions
    -Ticket To Ride+1910
    -RoboRally (may bring expansions)
    -Formula D (maybe)
    -Galaxy Trucker+Big Expansion
    -Last Night on Earth+expansions (maybe)
    -PitchCar w/ Extensions (maybe)
    -Twilight Struggle
    -Battle Line
    -Stone Age
    -Citadels
    -Red November

    Going to pick and choose a few to bring at various times and leave the rest at the hotel across the street easily accessible.

    If anyone is interested, I was considering leading a one-shot of Dark Heresy, Fantasy Flight Games' W40k tabletop rpg. If you're familiar with the game, we could handle character creation beforehand - if not, I'll just roll you one on the spot and see what happens from there :P

    Any takers?

    Oo! I've been dying to try DH for a while. I haven't read all of the way through the rulebook yet, but I should be fairly familiar with the rules and the such by PAX.

    Any word on the format of the Robo Rally tournament? Also, with the tourney starting at 4 on the dot, do you think it's realistic to get over to Robo Rally sign-up, get back to keynote in line in time to get a seat, and then actually make it back in time to Robo Rally in time to play? If keynote runs even a little long it would hold up the omegathon announcements, which is half the reason I want to go to the keynote now, and might miss out on the robo rally I was looking forward to.

    Yeah I wish someone would be kind enough to post the BG tourney rules and formats. Particularly interested in those for Dominion and RR though I figure the first is mostly straightforward.

    Well TT is open all day and will have many of the games people are indicating they are bring and others available for you to checkout. So really i see no issue here. I am pretty sure it wont be hard to find a group.

    I'm sure its standard rules but who knows there are so many methods to play it. As for getting over to TT HQ then to the keynote. I will let you in on a secret you will see TT as you leave the que room so if your towards the front of the line and theirs no delay in registering for the tournament you should still have time to get to the second or third floor. Note though On the official pax twitter page it said doors open for keynote when the doors open to the convention. Aka door opens some will go and get a seat for keynote some will go other places like exhibit hall some will go get registered for tournaments. I do not know the answer too if the keynote runs long. I would venture to guess if it runs long best to bounce though during registration you will know when it starts. Hope this helps also note all this info can be found in the forums main paxsite and official pax twitter.

    You're welcome to play with me presuming we can keep the numbers to around 3-5 (as I'm sure you know AH gets ugly with >5; 4 is ideal really). I'll probably run 2-3 games. Bringing AH+DH and all the small-box expansions. Be particularly happy to have someone around for DH since I haven't played it in a long time and thus could use some help on some of the rules issues.

    First yes you'll want to register in TT HQ. As for painted it probably not be required but i don't know. As for rules im not sure though both you could find out upon registering.

    I saw that TableTop has it, but I'll also be bringing my basic deck of Chez Geek and a few dice for counters... doesn't take much place to play so I figure it might be good to go just about anywhere... if you've never played it's tons of fun and takes about 5 minutes to learn and about 30 minutes to a game (especially with the basic set, the expansions made things a little confusing and long sometimes, not a bad thing, but more complex) ...

    Still thinking about it. I've already got an entire very large suitcase full of BGs so PitchCar may be a casualty. I'll see though.

    I decided to pack a small selection based on games that don't take a long time, and that are also in small boxes, so I could fit a few in my backpack and break one out while in a line. I ended up packing:
    - Cthulhu Dice
    - Super Munchkin
    - Red November

    Hmm, I think my gf and I would be interested in some Last Night on Earth, assuming we don't go out to get hammered. One thing that her and I have a tradition on is that on any trip we have gone together, we whip out our pokemon cards and start playing. We played for 4 hours strait one time when we had a layover at LAX.

    I thought about it, but didn't have time to plan anything or space to bring my books and whatnot.

    (No space partly because of my extra large Console Freeplay loan. 75 Xbox 360 games, 17 PS3 games. I was told I'm crazy several times. But helping people have fun is AWESOME. :-) )
