also maybe a game of Eclipse Phase
Seriously, this is your friend: http://paranoia.polyatomic.org/
Cheers,

Deadlands anyone...? *waggles his eyebrows.*
If you are willing to run a game, and have posted here, I'll move that post to the top. Include the day and time you'd be available, how many players you're willing to take on, and any details like "pregen characters". We can have interested players post here, or PM you to join (your choice), and I'll update the post with games full/open status.
Freeplay area seems to be open 10am-1:30am Friday and Saturday, 10am-6:30pm Sunday.
As a first time PAX goer, I have no idea how hard it is to get a table there. Does anyone know?
Someone upthread mentioned Luke (Crane) with regards to Mouse Guard and Burning Wheel, unfortunately last I heard he wasn't going to make it. I can, however, do a mean Luke Crane impersonation and run his games.
We'll likely have people willing to run:
Burning Wheel - Fantasy adventure where you fight for what you believe
Mouse Guard - You guard the mice territories from threats large and small
0hunters - Bounty hunters in space
Gun Thief - Dark stories of bad people
Fiasco - Coen brothers style dark comedy
Blowback - Spy action in the style of Leverage or Burn Notice
Ribbon Drive - Road trips and music
Dungeon World - Old school dungeon crawling based on the Apocalypse World rules
Dresden Files - The official game based on the books.
Freemarket - Posthuman science fiction roleplaying
Dungeon Construction Kit - Make the dungeon as you explore it.
Apocalypse World - Kickass people in a demolished world.
If any of those look good, reply to the pax_indie_rpgs twitter account during PAX or stop by the RPG tables in the room sponsored by The Dreaming.
-DW
Don't forget, the Tabletop HQ will have a whiteboard for posting messages, where you can write things such as "Pickup RPGs going on in Room 302. Text 555-5555 for info"
Also, we'll be encouraging Twitter users to utilize and search for #ttlfg as a hashtag in their tweets.
So Tweeting "Mouse Guard RPG starting up in Rm 302 at 2 pm #ttlfg" would be a helpful way to net players for your game (whether that tweet comes from @pax_indie_rpgs or otherwise).
As for getting space to play -- the general flow has been that ample space is available for you to set up whenever and wherever you like -- UNTIL Expo Hall closes. After that, the TT freeplay rooms start to fill up fast, as all open space is available on a first come, first serve, first claim basis, as people who previously spent much of their day at the Exhibitors head down to Tabletop. You may want to consider this fact into your RPG start time plannings.
Eclipse Phase (4 hour game) - GM'd by one of the designers!
CthulhuTech (4 hour game)
Dragon Age (2 - 4 hour game)
The Sandstorm room will be open from 10 AM - Midnight and we're right next to TableTop HQ.
If you're interested in a specific time and have a group of 4 or more people, drop us a line at Contact@Sandstormllc.com and we can see if we can get a GM for you!
(We'll also have the newest Eclipse Phase and CthulhuTech books on sale!)
It is in room 213... and exits into Sandstorm's room 212.
Second floor right by the escalators. It'll also be on the world map.
Awesome, I'm pretty sure that's where it was last year, great location.
Full details of all of the Tabletop locations will be revealed in due time. But, yes, TT HQ will be in Room 213. This is NOT the room it was in last year -- it's rather on the opposite side of the same set of escalators. (http://www.wsctc.com/pdfs/floor_plans/FloorPlansCapacitiesDimensions-APRIL2010.pdf - Page 2)
I kind of want to plan my game for 8 am Sunday morning. I dont' want to conflict with too much awesome.
Doors open at 10 am each day, so I'm sorry, 8 am won't be possible. PAX is not 24/3, rather, doors close at 2 am Friday and Saturday night. (2 am? might be 3 am. not certain -- open until at least 2 am, worst case)
XBL Michael Spencer || Wii 6007 6812 1605 7315 || PSN MichaelSpencerJr || Steam Michael_Spencer || Ham NOØK
QRZ || My last known GPS coordinates: FindU or APRS.fi (Car antenna feed line busted -- no ham radio for me X__X )
If anyone needs a player for any of the following games, I am definitely willing to be there:
Pathfinder
D&D 3.5
D&D 4e
Dresden Files
Call of Cthulhu
Dragon Age
Deadlands
I have never played Deadlands, Dragon Age or CoC before, but I am more than willing to learn by the time PAX rolls around. Also, I would be willing to DM any game on the list except for Deadlands, Dragon Age or CoC, but I cannot promise to DM them well.
A clarification about Dungeon Construction Kit -- the game uses 4E D&D as its engine, and provides a toolkit for building an adventure on the fly. There are some more details at the website (in progress) here.
Would anyone here be up for Playing Pine Ridge Horror (Savage Worlds) on Thursday night somewhere?
(Possible locations would be Sheraton lobby, Someone's hotel room, local resturant)
I have a couple guys coming with me that I can finagle into playing so only really need 2 or 3 more people.
We'll be GMing each of those in Sandstorm's room 212 (next to TableTop HQ) on the following schedule:
Eclipse Phase
Friday - 11 AM & 4 PM
Saturday - 11 AM & 4 PM
Sunday - 11 AM
(6 players per game; may take up to 8 players; reservations welcome - email us or stop by in person)
CthulhuTech
Friday - 11 AM & 4 PM
Saturday - 11 AM & 4 PM
Sunday - 11 AM
(5 players per game; reservations welcome - email us or stop by in person)
Dragon Age
Friday - 11 AM
Saturday - 11 AM
Sunday - 11 AM
(6 players per game; reservations welcome - email us or stop by in person)
Thanks for the update! These specific times added to the Master Tabletop spreadsheet (http://tinyurl.com/paxprime2010tabletopschedule)
I might be, depending on what exactly you mean by "Thursday night." My flight won't even land in Seattle until 9 PM (assuming it's not delayed).
Also since either myself or a faithful minion will be running the EP games and I either wrote or helped edit both scenarios for Gencon 09 and the five from Gencon 10 are there any particular scenarios anyone wants to call now? I'll probably decide on my own within the next few days so I can prep and get the pregens made but if there's a specific one at a specific time someone wants to do call it out now!
Short description of each of the games
Bump in the Night - People are waking up with a strange bump on their heads and then disappearing a few hours later.
Inconvenient Death - You wake up to find you've died. Can you discover what killed you and what you were supposed to be doing before it's too late?
Strange Bedfellows - Your team must investigate why members of a certain political faction are meeting with a disgraced Exhuman scientist.
Doctrine - Doctrine is a scenario for Eclipse Phase in which the player characters must root out a traitor to Firewall.
Ego Hunter - Your job is to track someone down--problem is, they've sleeved into a new body.
Through the Looking Glass - The exoplanet survey team missed their scheduled check-in. Your team must go through the Pandora Gate and find out what happened.
Continuity - Continuity is a starter scenario where the player characters are pursued by previous versions of themselves—now now carrying a terrible nanovirus.
Probably not that late. I was thinking after the pre-pax dinner.
Guess I'm out. Have fun, though!
Character generation takes about 5 minutes, or about 30 seconds if you use this online thing. The settings for that character generator are as follows: choose the first five fields in whatever manner you want, two qualities, relationship (lighter game), enable trauma, enable weapon. If you roll something you absolutely cannot roleplay, I'll allow re-rolls as I see fit.
Type of the game will be random event light-hearted rule of cool.
edit: PM me beforehand if you want in, I don't know how many people will walk up and guarantee nothing if you do it that way.
Then what does the BELOW list tell us? :P
My VtM game is mostly ready to go for Friday night 7:30pm (note time change, I may be set up by 7 but more realistically 7:30).
teaser: The Camarilla has long sought to gain some influence in Seattle and when a item is stolen from a prominent Giovanni recovery may be the key for Ventrue looking to become Prince. For 3-5 players with pregens a Burjah Biker, Gangrel Fisherman, Toreador Local Rock Star, Tremere Librarian, Nosferatu Computer Hacker, and last but not leased the Ventrue wanna be Prince. No prior experience with White Wolf or Vampire needed. Sheets, Dice, Pencils all provided.
Run by: Zecro
Day/time: 4:30PM Saturday
Location:TBA
Players: 5 PCs
(No experience needed, everything provided, but a pencil and D6s would be nice)
It would also be pretty nice if everyone who is running a game try to lock down a time/place so we can start trying to schedule.
Room #304 may be wide open at 2 p.m., but come 7 pm (after Expo hall closes) the Freeplay rooms will start filling up faster with people checking out board games from the Tabletop Library, and unless you've arrived to claim table space and set up your game, all Freeplay room is first-come, first serve.
To help with this, remember to utilize the Messaging White Board in the Tabletop Headquarters (Rm. 213) to write where you've set up, and that you're looking for more players. Also, if you have access to Twitter, follow tweets from @pax_indie_rpgs and @pax_tt, and also utilize/search for the #ttlfg hashtag (Tabletop - Looking For Group), to put your game's definitive details out there or see who else out there is currently looking for open gaming.
We plan to project relevant Twitter feeds onto a wall/screen at or or nearby Tabletop HQ (if all goes well), so passersby who don't have access to Twitter in their pockets will still be able to get the message.
I will be bringing about thirty-two pregens (all of the sample characters from the Core, Sunward, and the quickstart) which have been printed in full color and laminated to make them all nice and durable.
I've got five different scenarios I've prepped and would be happy to run any or all of them.
Additionally I'll be happy to talk about the game, upcoming stuff, or do short demos whenever I'm around and in the booth.
As much as I'd like to play in some of the other games I'll probably be worn out from the ones I'm running and I'm pretty sure my gf will murder me if I spend another minute gaming at PAX....:P
Hope to see some of you there!
