Ok, here's a odd question. Who is going to be staying at or near the Sheraton and will be around Wednesday night? I'm down for playing any tabletop game, and will even buy things I may need to play something I don't have. I just know I'll be in town super early (2 days in advance) and little to do in the evenings and would love to see some Pre-PAX tabletop (or TCG/CCG) action in the lobby of the Sheraton.

Should I maybe make a seperate thread about this?
I have nothing on my schedule on wednesday evening.
However I havent played a tabletop game in ages, and would most likely nub it up.
I quit MTG a little after rerevised. If there's a nub area or group, I'd probably be interested in getting caught up. Might as well give my local comic shop some money I don't have for things I don't need! ;D
I am one of those MTG noobs that would love to meet up with other MTG noobs for some casual, non-meta games. I've heard scary things about some Magic players that take this stuff way too seriously and would like to stay away from that kind of play.

Anyone up for an All Flesh Must Be Eaten zombie splatterfest? One of the evenings of the con, going wicked late, though not 'private room' late as I'm not staying on site. (Being a poor desktop monkey who has a perfectly lovely home a couple towns over and all.) I've had this 'theme park zombie massacre' idea percolating in my brain for a while now.

I will up for table gaming. I will be driving up, so I can pack up a few games from my collection. It can be viewed here, if anyone is looking to play something specific let me know.

good lord man you have an extensive collection. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person on these forums that has tasted the awsomeness that is Twilight Imperium. I do have the Shattered Empire expansion. I was thinking about bringing my copy with me when I fly in.

Did someone mention Twilight Imperium, the bestest and most awesome game ever?
I'm flying in and traveling very light, so I can't bring any of my big stuff, like Dominion, TI, or Runewars. I could probably sneak some Alhambra or Code 777 into my bag though.

I'm driving up, but I don't know if my copy of TI will be available. I believe it will be mired in a long-term game running at work. It is a beast of a game to carry around as well. I'm sure there would be some funny looks carrying that thing around town.
I'm a bostonian coming to PaxEast and mostly interested in tabletop gaming (my son is the computer gamer). I was wondering about the tourneys on the schedule. What's the format? would it be helpful if I brought copies of the games? Do the winners get anything in addition to bragging rights? Anything else I should know?
Should I bring other games? I have a bunch -- not as many as most of my friends but enough to intimidate civilians.

I'm debating on bringing my copy with me. If I do I'll probably leave the box at home and just stuff all the pieces in my backpack and carry it with me. Only thing making me hesitate now is all the stuff/panels/tournaments I want to play in. I'm having a hard time deciding if I'll have time for a good game of TI.
P.S. I've found if you put all the race specific stuff and fleets in separate ziploc baggies setup becomes a breeze
@Lord Jezo: I will be down for staying around to play games after dark. Unfortunately I don't have any games to contribute to it, but I will be an extra body.

Has anyone else decided anything yet? I'll be at the LGBT bar night (simply because it seems to be THE party location for Friday night) and after, games?
We need a location and some games. I'll be bringing some but we need a plan.
I ran a Dominion tourney at PAX Prime - 16 people (4 games of 4 people, using base Dominion), and then a 2nd round (using cards from Dominion + Intrigue) with the winners of each game. All told, it was run and done in about an hour and a half.
I cannot say how FatherFletch and Drain will be handling it at Pax East (sadly, I cannot go) but I can't see any Dominion tourney of 16 people taking any longer than 2 hours at the very most.

That would definitely help. I do have to admit that I don't know most of the games out there so there is an 80% chance that I won't know how to play unfortunately.
Also, would help if anyone was willing to host games, unless we decided to rent out tables in Pandemonium? (I don't know if its just free space or rent only)

Pandemonium Books & Games? It's free gaming space on a first-come, first-served basis; you should call the store about renting if you want to ensure table space.

I am going to be bringing the tracking sheets and maybe even some custom printed cards to play this game with. Anyone else interested in playing a great deduction game let me know, I plan on playing a few games of this during PAX if there are enough willing participants.

The tournaments are open to those who sign up in TT HQ. Standard rules (what came in the box) apply and all games are 4 player single elimination for board games, except for RoboRally.
The minis tournaments are held by the standard rules for that game (Warhammer, Arcane Legions, etc.)
There is a shiny prize for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners exclusive to PAX East 2010!

How does the free play area work, exactly? My friend and I plan to bring A Game of Thrones (the board game and the card game), but haven't set any specific meetups. I was thinking of just setting up a sign by the board that says, "Looking for X more players. Willing to teach! 2-3 hours." Is that sufficient or even acceptable?

when you say TT HQ is that a particular thread (this thread?) or is that a place we go on the day?
My friends and I are coming to PAX this year and were disappointing (but not surprised) to hear that the only DnD WotC is going to be offering officially is 4e stuff. Since this is our first time (still not sure how it works) are there going to be any people bringing their own stuff for 3.5e? We have Core Rulebooks, miniatures, tiles, etc, but won't bother bringing it if no one is playing 3.5e.

I do craft boxes; races separated by box then types of pieces/cards separated in the comparments. All of the boxes fit into the main box as well.
