The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
In all honesty as a foreigner, Texas has been getting a little... scary
I was really deliberating how comfortable I was for a future PAX and well, I guess the decision was made for me
Gonna be putting some work into planning a PAX North for June-ish, should anyone be craving some forumer hangs and require a reason for a passport update; we'll post about it soon
yeah I'd definitely be down for some PAX North action
I will never forget the one PAX South I went to, where I ran into an old friend who had moved to Austin a few years prior, and he took us to this Mexican place on the Riverwalk that had a $40 burrito, but if you ate the whole thing, you got it free. It's the only food challenge item I've ever tried, and I defeated it, and like 3 chefs came out and gave me big old hugs and shit when all I wanted to do was find a nice gutter to lay in for the next several hours.
And then we went back to the hotel and played Cosmic Encounter for like 4 hours.
I've always wanted to go to a PAX ever since they started doing them but I've never gotten around to it because flights and hotels are expensive. PAX South would've been perfect since it's just like a 3.5 hour drive away, but I never got around to it either and now I guess I never will. ☹️
Of course they ended pax south right when a top 50 texas BBQ joint opens within walking distance.
Anyways we could always just meet up there again when stuff has improved more without the pretext of a mediocre version of PAX.

I really hate that they didn’t make south into the tabletop convention and instead added another one in the frickin northeastern winter in an area that already has a damn pax.
I ain’t gonna go to philly in the cold. Texas weather is nice in January.
I get the public health concerns in Texas since you can’t institute a vaccine mandate but that wasn’t an issue when unplugged was started.
Yeah I don't care if the convention's not continuing because that was not the main draw for me to go. I wanna hang out with you nerds and do karaoke and breaking and entering

Is there a good convention center in St. Louis? I went to one, but the parking was not great. It was for Wizzard Con.
It think there is a St. Louis retro gaming convention somewhere.

Come to Alabama I’ll make some sausage cook some burgers and we can go into a big ol cave

I continue to miss you guys. Maybe it'll bounce back post pandemic?
Nah that post says implies it was already on the chopping block even before covid because it wasn’t growing.
I'm guessing your hope would be better placed on a new PAX Midwest in some geographically appropriate Blue state.
But, with 4 PAXes still running, who knows how likely firing up a 5th again is.

May the troops invade and liberate Texas.
I don't get "intimate con.". I favor the gargantuan party that is MAGfest.
I'm sorry, its called delving. When you are on a quest you must spelunk your environment.

who's gonna vomit where this time????
Sounds better than the escort quest to bring crwth back to their hotel

The real question is
Who is gonna bring a friend, give her a crucifix, and then claim she’s their super-fundie girlfriend?
But hey I don't have to go to Texas.
I like it here 🧙🏻♂️

I have empathy to spare.

There's only so much time in the year
Shoot, I know most conventions struggle to even get a second major event up and running sustainably
