Any one have an idea of what table top game's are going to be run this year? I know that they have an area for all that stuff, but for the life of me I can't seem to remember what games and events they had running last year for table top nerds like my self. Does any one remember Warmachine being played last year? I picked it up a PAX last year and would like to watch a tourney if they have one.

As for an actual list, we'll let you know when we know.
I know there's a couple of things i want to bring along.
Both.
There will be a place to checkout games to play with your friends/peoples
Or is the tabletop thing only for MtG and the like?
If its a tournament he wants then thats a different story.
(did you forget to turn on xfire/msn?
Their company went through some finantial trouble a while back and they dropped off the map, but now they're back and kicking out new product again. I'd love to attend a couple Hero games run by some pros....

I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
Pretty sure, yeah, but how much warhammerings is yet to be determined.
So I was wondering if someone would be willing to run a game geared towards complete tabletop newbies. Just a basic game of Dungeons & Dragons or something for people who have never played any sort of pen & paper before.
Ideally, the person running this would be articulate, have the patience of a saint and a deep understanding of the rules. Is anybody willing to run something of the type?

Honestly, this year's tabletop offering will blow your socks off. A whole floor of the convention center is dedicated to TT, and the exhibitor support is amazing.
Freeplay is also a big component of tabletop, and there are several thousand square feet that'll just be open tables for anyone to run a game. We'll have games for loan on-site, or you can bring your own. Loaner terrain is a good idea; I'll pass that idea along to the Tabletop marshal.
I'd be glad to run a newbie game!
However I am incredibly old school and only really know 2E D&D. If that was acceptable however I'd be more than willing to do so. Just lemme know
I am up for a newbie game of D&D hoping to learn something about Warhammer 40k as well.

Also very fun stabbing other players in the back.

If you've never played before, and are interested in learning, let me know. When the schedual of PAX comes out I'll set aside a chunk of time to play "unofficially." I'll make sure to set it up so we can play as long as you guy's need/want.

We should(As it gets closer to PAX, and the crowds pick up) figure out who is willing to run what kind of games, and then those who want to play should create(With instructions from the Storyteller of their choice) characters pre PAX(As that's what takes the most time when you're starting a game) so that they can just jump in when the time comes(Of course I expect that there will be people who just show up and want to play, but the less time needed to make characters, the more time spent in the game. ;P)
I'd consider dragging some miniatures out. It's been way too long since I played, though. I don't remember anything.
I'd be interested in playing Paranoia. I don't remember how to play at all so I guess I'm perfect?
Hmmmm.
I am interested by this game, it is my goal this PAX to try it out.
ORKFEST
Da Rumble On Da West Coast
Will you stand and defend the planet Tycho's Reach in the face of an Ork WAAAGH!, or join the green tide of Orks looking to take it for their own? The very earth will crack and shudder under the onslaught - can you handle it?
Bring your friends, bring your enemies, leave the squigs at home!
Scenario: Assassination!
The objective of the battle is to kill off the generals of the opposing forces. The side (Order, Disorder) with the highest kill-count at the end of the battle wins. Only nominated targets count towards this score.
(Nominated targets are determined by event staff) Additional objectives and their associated rewards will be determined before PAX.
Force Size Up to 2500 pt lists, with one "supertoy" of equal/lesser point value (VDR creations allowed and encouraged, with judges final approval - no spray painted soda bottles!) All models must be fully painted(3 colors minimum), no exceptions.
Number of players:36 (maximum)
Signup all-day Friday, Setup 9-10am Saturday, game runs until 8pm or turn 6.
This is going to be a decidedly [game] - we'll be using more than 200 square feet of tablespace to accomodate it!
How's that for Warhammerings?
Right here on the forums, we surf the crap out of this place during PAX
I am an experienced 3.5 D&D DM and can certainly run a game for the uninitiated, though I would be willing to bet that Paizo or Wizards will be doing a dungeon delve or two as well.
Also if anyone wants to get into some serious arguments, I can bring Diplomacy as well.
As for the space, lets hope this years Table Top area is not taken over by sales staff trying to push their new card game. Last year we had a hell of a time finding space to set up for pick up game of D&D cause of all the space given over to some new card game advertising.
Also If anyone is looking for a quick game of 3 Dragon Ante I will defiantly be bringing my cards and chips.
Shit son... I haven't had a good F2F game of Dip in awhile.
Though what can you expect from a strategy game where the whole strategy is making and breaking deals with your friends. A game where the questions isn't if your friend will betray you but whether he'll betray you before you betray him.
