PAX to the Future! (PRE-PAX Boardgame Night at the Westin!)

Oniwana

oh didnt see Space Cadets on the request list, that is coming along too.

Schmulki

So, I (and my fiance) should be there Thurs afternoon at some point (all depends on weather and traffic). Assuming we get in at a decent time, we'll be up for something on the slightly heavier side of things (no offense to We Didn't Playtest This) that's not a co-op. We'll bring some stuff with us, probably Power Grid (with many of the expansions) and probably at least a worker placement game or 2

There should always be CAH running. =D

Khadour

I have arrived in Boston, and managed to bring Splendor, Tash Kalar, and Nations with me, so those can be added to the available list (albeit without their boxes, as they all pack down a whole lot more without them).

Hellllllooooooo everybody! I have some good news, and some "eh" news!

Good News: We are only 2 full days from Game Night! GET PUMPED!

"eh" News: The Westin can no longer give us the space in the Sauciety restauraunt as another (paying) event requested the space. This means a couple of things:
-Sauciety is NO LONGER an approved area for gaming!
-Food will now only be available at Starbucks, as "room" service, or through the Birch Bar area.
-The Main Ballroom Foyer will (probably) take over as our overflow area, pending final word from the Westin. Drinks would still be available here, though!

Sorry to pull the rug out from under all of you, but this is news to me as of ~20 minutes ago.

Thanks @rtm416 for coordinating though. I didn't even Know we had Sauciety last year :P Gotta get through one more shift and it is PAX time!

davethebabe

Oh no! I spent the whole time in there last year, really comfy environment. As long as the drinks are flowing and tables are open, I'll still have a great time
I plan on bringing Space Cadets (but someone will have to teach me), and possibly tragedy looper (again, someone will have to be the mastermind). I also have ladies and Gentleman, Shadow Hunters, and Rex if anyone is willing to be incredibly back stabby

BellaJen

Hey, My husband and I will be there after we set up our booth. (We're the dice jewelry people). We'll be bringing Channel A and Sentinels of the Multiverse! We probably wont be around until 8 or 9 though.
Can't wait to game!

Oy. This is going to be bad - like crossing the streams bad. Sending you an email.
Never mind - Ryan has this ALL HANDLED. To the Ballroom!! (extra room there for JS Joust anyway!)

Le_Goat

Man, I totally fell off the radar with this thread. I've been jammed packed with so much stuff. Totally looking forward to this. I just need to get through one... more... day.... aaaaaaaaaaand my mind just checked out. Hope work enjoys a zombie because I ain't doing a damn thing.

My buddy and I are bringing our X-Wing Miniatures set (Waves 1-4 for the most part), as well as Monty Python Fluxx and Forbidden Island.

If anyone is interested in X-Wing, we're totally open to teaching you and not held liable if you lose a paycheck or two from the addiction. We just need to get the cases there.

THE RULES:

• Obey Wheaton's Law, DON'T BE A DICK! This applies to everybody in all interactions!
• The hotels usually give us amazing space and service for free. The best way to show your appreciation is to support the hotel bar and restaurant while you're there.
• Be welcoming to anybody who may look lost or seems to be hanging around your area. Everybody wants to play!
• The Sauciety Restaurant will open to gamers at 8:00 PM.
• No parties are allowed in the pool area.

just a heads up @rtm416 , might want to strike that line about sauciety from the "rules" section in the op.

Ah, thanks for the heads up!

Le_Goat

My girlfriend is jumping in tomorrow night too. Hope that's cool if I have a +1

rtm416

Here I am, checking the thread again when I have a train to catch at 5AM. The more the merrier!

ViciousEin02

Don't worry @rtm416 I'm doing the same thing but I still haven't packed yet. Can't wait to see everybody tomorrow. Happy gaming everyone.

ilta

Oh man I was up so late packing my new x wings. Looking forward to getting that value out of them tonight and at the rest of the con. Squad battles forever!

It ended up taking a lot of space so the only other major game I brought was Core Worlds. Also brought a smattering of small line games -- coup, dragon slayer, and tiny epic defenders.

See you all this evening!

rtm416

Well the train is a bit late but it's pulling into Back Bay soon. Looks like all is going well!

EDIT: No more updates will be made to the OP, see you all tonight!

mr_eff

I'll be there tonight. Anyone up for some Netrunner? I'll also bring along, Coup, Byzanz, Mascarade, and maybe one or two others.

PlowHouse

Will this be going on all weekend or just tonight?

hariustrk

Just got settled into my room. Looking forward to meeting some new people!

The big organized event is just tonight, but the mezzanine tables will be left up all weekend and you'll pretty much always find people playing something.

I have a friend who loves that game, but I've never played. If you're up for teaching a noob, I'd be up for a game. The concept is fascinating.

I think we may have enough people for a 2v2 200-point game, if you're down for that. *hamster hands* THE EXCITEMENT!!!

@rtm416

Tanjin90

BSG plus expansions is up at table 10! Looking for someone that is good at teaching the game.

Le_Goat

Since this is my first, I feel like I'll get lost. I may need an adult...

hariustrk

I don't need my badges to join n do I?

First for me as well.

Ganybyte

Hariustrk, no badges required for the Westin. That will be true all weekend, btw. So if you have a local friend or whatnot without a pass its a good place to meet up for a game or a drink.

How late does this normally go? I'm thinking I won't be able to make it until about 9pm. Didn't want to head over and have nobody left playing.

Jerkfish

We were running a little late but we have games of Johan Sebastian Joust going downstairs and down the hall past all of the round tables. Feel free to join us!
