Hey guys so last year i took the subway in and while that was fine and all this year with me cosplaying i wanted to have the option to be able to store my stuff in my car while at the event. So the question is does the parking lot fill up quick every year? If it does when is the best time to be there by? I know it costs like 12 bucks to park and i dont mind paying that at all.
I got there about opening time and parked at a lot across the street and never had any issue. It did certainly look close to filled by the afternoon. But if you get there at 10 or not too long after, you can find parking easy.
We got there first thing in the morning last year and we were able to get parking in the lot behind the BCEC every day. I was planning to do the same this year since we had such an easy time of it last year. That being said, last year was our first PAX, so our good luck may have been a fluke.
I drive in every year. If you're there by 8 parking in the main lot isn't a problem, if you get there closer to 10 you might end up in the overflow lot and have to take the shuttle in or park in another lot. I'm not sure on how all this snow will impact the lots though.
Hey anyone have any idea how bows would go weapon wise? I'm probably gonna cosplay green arrow, and I have some arrows that are missing the nock (the part that fits onto the bow string) and they won't have heads on them, so they'd just chill in my quiver, not worried about those but now my actual bow is another thing, I don't wanna unstring it, so wondering if anyone knows if they would allow that in
I have a few questions about the Jamspace. So is the space for public use and/or do you have to sign up to use it and if so how, where, and when do you do that? Also, are there any restrictions to what kind of performances you can do other than (I'm assuming) keep it PG/PG-13? I've only been to one other major convention that had this kind of thing and I missed out on it because I didn't realize how it worked haha.

Can I bring my nerf gun/lightsaber/other weird thing?
All prop weapons brought to the show MUST be approved at Info Booth (North Lobby) as soon as you arrive.
We will be looking for the following criteria:
It cannot fire any sort of projectile. (Nerf guns are only allowed if they have been deactivated and can not fire.)
It cannot be an airsoft weapon. (Yes, even if it’s deactivated.)
It must comply with local weapons laws.
It cannot be sharp or pointy enough to cut or pierce someone with moderate pressure. This includes all real swords, daggers and knives. It also includes ceramic blades, needles, syringes and anything that can pierce such as a Little Sister syringe made of wood.
Basically, you need to check in with the Info Booth. I think you're going to be cool since you've removed the ability for the arrows to be projectiles, as well as the heads.

I do not know how the sign-up procedure works, since I have terrible stage fright and would probably just do my best impersonation of a Popple (link included for those who didn't experience the 80s).
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.
This'll be a first in a few ways for me:
First time going alone.
First time going all three days instead of just Friday and Saturday.
First time going being 21+.
First time having a phone capable of magical things like take pictures of QR codes and follow twitter.
However, it's also probably the last PAX East I'm going to be able to attend. So, my questions stem from the above.
-In past years I've always noticed QR codes on random PAX maps and such. Is it some sort of scavenger hunt?
-I've always liked the idea of the free-play area, but I'm unsure about the rules of the room; if, say, all I want to do for hours on end is play SSB4 with random people, would that work out? In all my hours in there I don't think I ever saw strangers walking up and asking to join in on a game. Would it be against forum rules to make a thread "Anyone want to play SSB4?" or something like that to get people over?
-The entire tabletop area of PAX has always mystified and confounded me. I love playing duels with Yugioh's Battle Pack 2 but beyond that I haven't the slightest idea how to play any of the stuff going on over there and, as I can at least tell that I'm probably the only one who'd want to play sealed pack yugioh, I've always felt it was just inaccessible to someone not in the know; but is it really? Do people just go up and start playing games they didn't know anything about a few minutes beforehand and everyone's cool with that?
So this may seem like a strange question but I was going to bring one or 2 amiibo under the expectation that my family was driving, but it turns out we are flying. My question, is will the metal detector wipe the Amiibo, because if so that would suck

Yes, it's essentially a scavenger hunt. (edit: 10 people get the special medal for finishing first), but I expect the prize is generally not worth it unless you really like scavenger hunts and bragging rights. More something to do as you go about.
The free play console area has a half hour time limit, but earlier in the day if you are using equipment which isn't in demand (which it is often not) you can go longer. A few games are just set up in a room with controllers to walk up to as opposed to checking out. Smash has been among them in the past. Also smash is a popular enough game you can find people who welcome walk up challengers. But in general, people won't hold it against you ask to join, or you can hang out in front waving a game/sign to find players. twitter might also be a better way to get people for a game. they have the LFG hastag they promote (for tabletop as well)
Tabletop definitely welcomes people coming up and lots of people are willing to teach you. It's definitely easier to get a game with strangers than console freeplay, the tabletop area is loud and busy enough that somebody waving a box isn't disruptive. I would only do that in the hallway for console freeplay, the rooms aren't very rowdy. Board game players use it as a chance to learn new games and people always need more players to fill up a game. If you see a board game with the box top set up so it is displayed, it means they are actively looking for more people. I also personally spend most of my time in tabletop freeplay and I see so many people walking in circles looking like they want to join a game, but are too shy/unsure about how. So I make an effort to grab people like that and help them get in a game. Look for me (wearing the grafitti suit in my pic) if you want to get in a game, or PM me. You can also ask people browsing the checkout area.
TLDR: Don't be afraid to walk up to people and ask for a game. Most people are cool with being approached.
just a plastic bag. In the past there have been things like mini promo Magic cards, cards against hunamity cards, and DLC skin codes for various PC games. Some flyers. You might find something you like, promo cards against humanity cards tend to be considered the best item every year, a lot of the stuff is only appealing if you happen to play the game. I throw out most of it, rarely anything I find appealing.

What DanQ said was partially incorrect. There's a Speed Demon medal for the first 10 people who turn it in, but we should have prizes for everyone who finishes the hunt.

1 thing that would derail your plans is that the CFP (and PC) have time limits of ~45 minutes, so you couldn't just camp a WiiU...however, there may be dedicated fighting game stations, which would be more conducive to this activity.

Pro-tip: assuming there aren't any LFG signs, the universal TT sign for "Looking for players" is holding the box lid up for people to see. Now, some games are much easier than others to introduce people to (Fluxx? Yeah! Battlestar Galactica...uh, no), but whoever's hosting the game should know this.
I have a few questions about the Jamspace. So is the space for public use and/or do you have to sign up to use it and if so how, where, and when do you do that? Also, are there any restrictions to what kind of performances you can do other than (I'm assuming) keep it PG/PG-13? I've only been to one other major convention that had this kind of thing and I missed out on it because I didn't realize how it worked haha.
@NickTheNewbie should be able to shed some light on that. PM him or hopefully he'll answer here.
I ordered Saturday passes months ago and have not received them. Upon looking at my receipt, it appears that my mailing address lists the wrong state (though the correct zip code). Does anyone know who I can contact for help regarding this? I want to make sure my passes have not been sent to the wrong place. Thanks.
I live in an area not accustomed to the Winter Apocalypse gripping Boston and have no experience with good waterproof boots for walking in. Does anyone have any recommendations for comfortable options?
If you are new to boots, do NOT wear brand new boots all day. You will get blisters and your feet will be very upset. Boots need a period of breaking in before they can be worn all day. If you must have new boots (because you don't have yet), bring a change to good indoor walking shoes... actually can you check boots at the check?
My goal is to buy some boots this week and try to get them broken in in advance of next week.
Luckily the cold has been here so I'm mostly used to that, but the cold wet stuff on the ground is a foreign experience here.

Ok I'll PM him but now after looking at the map again, I noticed there's the Jamspace, Free play stage, and Bandland. Does anyone know the differences between these 3?
I believe Bandland has a bunch of information about the various artists performing at PAX, Freeplay Stage has a Rock Band setup where four people at a time go and perform a song from that game, and Dance Stage has Lets Dance or something like that set up for people to use. I have no idea what Jamspace is for.
Jamspace is basically the Rock Band freeplay stage but for reals. They have a bunch of instruments that you and who ever you grab can pick up and just start rocking on stage.

Apologies if this information exists somewhere already. I looked for an FAQ thread and searched via keywords and didn't find anything:
Has the disability badge policy changed from previous years? Will I be able to pick one up as usual from registration? Will a doctor note be required?
Thanks a ton.
Yes you can request a medical badge from the Information booth. PAX will never ask for any validation for a medical badge. As you know, you will still need your three-day/day pass to access PAX.
Apparently I was incorrect. Sorry!

Even though your arrows are not usable, if your bow is still strung it can still fire a projectile. It will either need to be unstrung, or strung with a extra long string that does not bend it.

Yes to all those games, those are awesome games to bring and most likely people will have those. Pokemon especially since the PPL is around.
I think for other games, MH4 may see some use, I don't have a copy myself, but with the HHL, someones likely going to be playing it.

I just wanted to know if it would be possible to pick them up the day before the event? or do I have to wake up early and stand in line on Friday morning to get them?

You are like 120 days too late to book a room in the Weston or Seaport hotels. The Weston gets booked completely the same day PAX East tickets go on sale. The Seaport hotel gets booked completely maybe a day later.

Never heard of metal detectors wiping NFC or RFID stuff, so i think you should be fine.
Yeah, my wallet and laptop go through the metal detector all the time at the airport. If it isn't frying my laptop or charlie card, I think your amiibos will be fine.
Do we have any information on when the Will Call will be open? I won badges to East and I need to pick them up at the convention, and I've heard of it being open on Thursdays so people can pick badges up in advance of the show. Is that consistently true, and when should I swing by on Thursday to grab my badges? Thanks in advance!
I see a posting for a pre-pax board game night, how about a post-pax one? There was one last year and it was great.
Sorry, I haven't been reading the FAQs! You are welcome to go and play, but the turnout last year was not enough to be worth it for the hotel to host it formally. Also this year they have an event Monday morning, so the tables will be taken down *sometime* Sunday Night.

Previous years Thursday will call has been 2pm-8pm. I would expect similar, if not the same, hours. I haven't heard official times for this year though.
