Since there's a huge number of threads relating to tabletop threads, and in the interest of keeping the forum nice and tidy, I'm opening up this thread for all discussion of tabletop games. Since the guys who run the tabletop tournaments will inevetably create a thread for tournaments once details for those are hammered out, this thread will be primarily for freeplay discussion, but feel free to talk about what tournaments may potentially be like until such thread is created. Below are quotes from the previous threads created in order of facilitating discussion from those threads into this one, but feel free to talk about whatever tabletop games excite you.

The setting will be, ironically, Boston and will be a cammy based game. I am looking for 3-4 players. All new characters. If interested get in touch here or my site www.wodnews.net
Or if you are just a Vampire fan would love to meet you as well and talk shop over a burger or drink. Look forward to seeing you all there!

I'm interested in getting together people for tabletop RPGs such as (but not limited to):
Burning Wheel
Paranoia
Dread
Fiasco
Monsters & Other Childish Things
And quite a few more that sit on my shelves for far too long.
Also, if you're wanting to run a game, especially one I've never played before, I'm probably interested in playing.
Let me know if you want to schedule a meetup to play at any other time during the week.

Myself and my friend will be arriving in Boston on Thursday and would love to meet up before PAX and play some Cards Against Humanity. As this is my first PAX I'm not sure where we would do it but if we could get enough people that are interested I'm sure we could meet up at a hotel or a restaraunt somewhere. What do you think?
This. Is it supposed to be released around then?

We're bringing it, with expansions and are looking for folks who want to meet up before or during PAX to play. We're staying at the Westin.

If you're going to bring them I'll be there to play. I wasn't one of the lucky souls to get the Westin but I'm only about a mile or so away from the hotel and I'll have a car so meeting up won't be a problem at all.
"Spring" is listed as the release date, so it should be for sale at PAX East. The base set is a great game, but man is the replay value low because of the lack of variety of the bosses and characters.

We had a set of Transformers Chess in the Library last year, but we retired it because it never got checked out. Technically yes it's a TableTop game, spiritually no it's not. If you really want to get your checkmate on then bring your own board to make sure you can.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
PAX East 2018 4-Day Pass [X] BYOC Pass [X] Hotel Reservation [X]
See y'all at PAX East 2018!
1) show up and look through games
2) pick a game you want to play
3) give them something as collateral (usually your photo ID), they give you the game.
4) play game
5) give game back, get your ID back.
This is pretty much standard procedure for any freeplay library at PAX.
Sometimes there are people hanging around the booth trying to get groups for games. You can also have an LFG flag or something of that nature to indicate you want to play something with folks.
I may or may not be available before PAX. My group hasn't figured out exactly when we'll arrive on Thursday - if we take the train, we'll get in around 8PM. If we drive, it could be earlier... but last year, we didn't get in until after midnight.
During PAX, however, I intend to spend countless hours in tabletop freeplay. It usually closes later than all of the scheduled events, so we could set up some times to play during the day or in the wee hours...
1) Official, Event-Sponsored Tabletop Freeplay (as explained by Zerzhul, above)
- Happens inside BCEC
- Is subject to convention hours and staffing
- Has a huge library of games to check out
2) Individuals bringing personally-owned games (look through the threads)
- Meetups could happen anywhere or any time
- Meetups need to be scheduled in advance with the game's owner or check twitter for any impromptu postings
- Meetups could potentially include alcohol or late-night walks back from bars or hotels
Now that that crucial step is out of the way, I plan on lurking around the table top gaming area and hope no one senses the newbie in me. I swear, I am a fast learner!

Sounds good. As we get closer to PAX feel free to hit me up and we'll see what we can do to get together and let the madness begin.
Never played it, but I'm interested in trying it out. I should be arriving in Boston around 2 on Thursday. Keep me posted!
BTW, I really hope that this is more heavily utilized this year! I tried using the hashtag (both tweeting and watching for it), and never had any luck last year. It's such a powerful tool... if people are using it! I don't know if cell network issues were the biggest issue, or what.
