    This is our first PAX and we are psyched. Was wondering if there will be a room for Warmachine/Hordes?

    Thanks!

    Sadly, Privateer Press will not have a booth.

    Also, to pre-cover any and all questions/comments about them being at PAX Prime...they're based out of Seattle.

    That said I am aware that several vendors will have PP stuff with them, and there will be WM/H demos available in the Miniwargaming area.

    I intend to be there with copious Warmachine/Hordes stuff, and would be more than happy to demo the game.

    @Sam: will there be open play at the tables throughout the con?

    as long as a tournament isn't using a table it is fair game. (there should be at least one 6x4 table empty any given day and lots of 4x4 every day but sat during the WM/H tournament. although then the 6x4 WFB tables would be available)

    Privateer Press will not be attending PAX East 2011, unfortunately. There will be exhibitors in Tabletop carrying some of their product line, however, and we encourage you to come and check out the Miniature Arena area in TT.

    Will there be anything similar to WoTC 'Learn to Play' as far as Games Workshop games go? I would like to brush up on my 40k and I pretty much have to entirely re-learn Fantasy Battles at this point. Would love to learn a ton of new games as well!
