[PRIME] Indie Tabletop RPGs on Demand
Looking to play something new and different at PAX Prime? Indie Games on Demand is back and we've got you covered.
What is Indie Games on Demand?
It's a place to play tabletop RPGs by small independent publishers. All you've got to do is show up and we'll find you a game.
What's an indie RPG?
It's a creator-owned RPG. Because they're creator-owned they're often cutting-edge, creative, and just a bit different from your average RPG.
Great, how do I play?
Just stop by rooms 305 and 306. "On Demand" means that if we can get you into a game you're interested in right away we will. If all the tables are full, or we need more players for what you want to play, we'll try to plan the game for later. No experience required: you provide enthusiasm, we provide a facilitator/GM and anything else you need to play (dice etc.).
What games will you have?
The list will vary depending on what facilitators/GMs we have on hand when you come by. Here are some that are likely to be available most of the time:
-13th Age
-Dungeon World
-Apocalypse World
-Fiasco
-Mouse Guard
-Burning Wheel
-Murderous Ghosts
-psi*run
-Lady Blackbird
-Monsterhearts
-Polaris
-Microscope
-Dogs in the Vineyard

And Jobiwan, I'll also be running at least one Burning Wheel demo at the pre-PAX board game night in the Sheraton, and possibly again after the Omegathon.

Meguey Baker (Psi*run)
Ben Robbins (Microscope)
John Harper (Lady Blackbird)
Luke Crane (Mouse Guard, Burning Wheel)
They may be busy, but I bet many of them could find time for a game.

I plan on being at the pre-PAX board game night on Thursday. Are you planning on posting demo details (when and where) on the forum, tweeting, or putting together a group through the magic of the board game night?

We will also have a table on the WSCC 2nd floor running very short demos of the game.
I realize this is probably a stupid question - but where are rooms 305 and 306? I can't seem to find any reference to them on the various maps...
Thanks.
From the main entrance on Pike St head up the escalators until you reach the third floor. Then turn left and walk along the rooms until you see 305 and 306. There should be signs outside.
Ok sounds good, would I just show up at the indie games on demand area to find the game being played? I know that myself and a friend would be interested in playing sometime during the convention.
305 and 306 are in the main part of the WSCC. There is a series of waterfall escalators in one long straight line that go up to the 4th floor. On the way up, stop on the 3rd floor. Each room is numbered, so it shouldn't be hard to find once you're on the 3rd floor.
The game (or at least the session I played) relies a lot on the players to "make things happen". I was fortunate to get into a group with three people who were quite good, and I think they had all played the system before which helped (I had not).
I think the system has a ton of potential, but needs a good group of players who are very comfortable with ad-lib and character immersion. Anyway, if you didn't get into a game yesterday, definitely try it today.
