I searched the forum and didn't find any specifics, does PAX have specific board games set up, or can anyone just bring any game and get together? If so, i think this is a good place to arrange some bigger, longer games that might be played...specifically several hour-long games...or whatever.
Me, if i end up having the money to go, would love to play some good old Monopoly, as well as any Axis and Allies, plus some Bohnanza.

I know they had Settlers of Catan there for use last year and Wizards had a whole mess of their products around.
I'm certain there will be just as much if not more this year (also considering the fact that people such as yourself will decide on bringing extra games at some point.)
If a game could be organized during some downtime or after the shows are over, I'd totally be down for a game or two.

id be up for playing catan with you. Ive never played but ive only heard good things
On the other hand, I'm bringing "Pink Godzilla Dev Kit", which I believe made it's debut at PAX once upon a time.
If for some reason I show up empty handed, Pink Godzilla will most likely have a shop set up in the vendor area as they are local to Seattle anyway.

Dev Kit is awesome and last year they were selling decks for $10 each! So deliciously nerdy and the build quality of the game is pretty high (nice cards, case divider, nice plastic card case). Definitely one of my top items obtained at PAX last year.
gahh, i hate the killer bunnies game, i played it at a friends house a few months ago. i was never a fan of how to win you just need to have the correct bunny in hand. All of my scheming is for nothing =(
Ill bring Last Night on Earth, just in case i find some zombie lovers to play it with
HELL YEAH!! I played it at PAX last year for the first time at the demo booth for an hour and was hooked. Went home and immediately bought it. So much fun dicking people over with Shamble.
Man I hate that freaking shamble card in that game. Sometimes I think the rules are skewed a bit too much in favor of the zombies; the guy that usually plays it around here just tends to totally wipe the floor with us between bad dice rolls and zombie shamblin' lovin'.
I'm trying to decide if I want to pick something up to bring with me or maybe just bring an old Magic deck or something; I'm assuming WOTC has a presence there right?
really? the heros always seem to win. once someone acquires a shotgun, its all down hill
Maybe its our horrible dice rolls. For instance, the last time we played we played on the scenario where a certain number of zombies have to get into the house. It took 10 turns for me to find a weapon sitting in one of the buildings and trying to fight off the zombie incursion...
The weapons in that game always tend to break on first roll from me. I'm cursed with horrible dice roll luck.
Secondly, how many amongst you who would be interested in playing Shadowrun 4th Edition at PAX?
I think its up in the air this year because the place where it was held last year (the annex place across the street from the convention center) is undergoing some sort of construction and will most likely not be available. Im sure someone else here can give you a more detailed answer, though
By all means, bring your games, or come and check some out from the library, there are tons of places to play and you are welcome to play anything you bring, buy or borrow.
Ideas?
It wont be. The Pike street WSCTC Annex is undergoing renovation during pax this year so its not available for pax to rent out.

The second set should be out by the time PAX is up (possibly a third set), and its a great tabletop game.
Normally I would say the criteria for being a tabletop game is:
1) Tabletop needed
2) You play with it
3) It is fun
The problem is that by that breakdown, even Mashed Potatoes are a tabletop game.
I seem to recall Wil Wheaton saying he also plays Car Wars. Celebrity Endorsement Deal?
I've laughed hard at this multiple times. I'm going to use this with my son.
"Playing with your mashed potatoes is totally okay Coop because it REALLY IS A GAME! But just so you know, the only way to beat the game is to eat the 'tatoes :P"

*I did.
Would it be odd to have Poker one of the nights?
I read it as Coop but more like Hanging With Mr. Cooper and thus I assumed his son is a 30ish, tall black man.
hey! adoption laws don't prohibit me adopting a 30ish, tall black man. there are serious advantages to having a big dude 4 years my senior as my son. teaching him to play team fortress has been a little trying though... for some reason he just wants to hang out around the house telling bad jokes and offering half baked advice.
for some reason, I think I should have adopted omar gooding instead...

WoW TCG.
Senji? I may bust it out and teach some people. It's great fun for 5-6 people. Any below that, I say not so. It's all about the hanafuda!
Serenity/Cortex SystemRPG. I own the books, I just need a group to try it out. Hail Browncoats!
Margaret Weis Productions actually did a good job working with the system to get the game mechanics pretty smooth. It suits.

That, and looking for excuses to put off painting dozens of Tyranids....
but...
Does anyone have, and want to play, Chronopia?
I know it's not likely, but I loved those miniatures, I think I still have the book somewhere, and I think their game mechanic was pretty nifty.
I may have to look into Warhammer 40k, and maybe buy/paint a small set if it's not too pricey (and I have time) if no one's into Chronopia, because I would love to get one game in at least.
It's true. Warmachine/Hordes is a bit more reasonable, I'm just getting into that now and it seems you could have a playable army for $100. I'm hoping to have at least 500 points ready to go by PAX. Fewer models means it's a hell of a lot easier to transport as well.
