PAX South is the baby of the PAX family. The first PAX South was held on the weekend of January 23, 2015 from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. We were told they would be back and bigger and better. What do we know about PAX South so far? From Gabriel's front page item titled "PAX Dev Schedule is out!" from 5 days ago.

2. The Dates for PAX South are January 29, 30, 31.

3. We are “planning” on launching ticket sales for PAX South on September 16th, 2015.

...

That 2nd note both delights and scares the hell out of me, because it is, I think, the first time they've given this much notice for PAX tickets since maybe the early days (I'm not even sure if the early days they did it this far in advance).

There is, of course, 2 PAXes between now and when tickets go on sale, plus a third between now and when PAX South will actually originate, but last year's thread started around the first week of July (because that's when tickets went on sale last year). This (mid-September) seems more likely to be the norm going forward, I'll wager (or not).

Anyway, it's a PAX! There are games of all sizes, shapes, colors, and styles, along with music and cool folks and nerds and cool nerds. Who is going??

I wanna be the very best

    Deep in the heart of Texas!

    Fun fact: I found an express deal on Priceline for the weekend for $80/night for a hotel in the Riverwalk and it wound up being the Menger. So I'll have an even shorter walk to/from the convention center.

    I'll probably be there, unless something weird happens. I'm from Texas and my family lives there so it's real easy to make an excuse.

    Also maybe I'll actually hang out with people for more than five minutes this time

    AND ALSO EAT A GOD DAMNED MCRIB

    I'm guessing they're seeing if they can drum up more sales by announcing the sale date early. I remember PAX South tickets being pretty slow moving last year.

    Nothing. Matters.

    I'm going to be there. And Metroplex Arcadians have no excuse not to have already created a regular game night. Come on! Just show up at Madness sometime.

    Man, Plano is far. Come to Collected by TCU on Thursdays. So many board games, so little time. (That's a lie, we're there until 1 or 2 am on the regular)
