  • There's a nice little house of pizza type place where you can get pizza, pasta, steak tips, that kind of thing on the left side of the hotel from the front
  • Well I am going to be gaming on Thursday after all the [E] stuff.
  • My Thursday plans are to get in between 1-2PM, get badge, check into hotel, then go help out with Tabletop setup for a bit. Dunno when I will be grabbing dinner or where. One guy in my group is working Main Theater and has a 7PM team meeting, and the other guys don't get in until after midnight, so I'll be eating either before 7 or after 8.

    After dinner: tabletopping. I am staying in Westin so I will see how the table space situation is with the unwashed masses. If it is too crowded as it is every year, we will retreat to the secret tabletop lounge we discovered at the Seaport last year.

    Not all good food is up by the Hynes! It is almost tradition at this point that I get people together for Thursday night dinner at Barlows. It is good upscale pub food. Ro already said Legal Test Kitchen. This place Gather that I posted about before just opened a few months ago and looks like a great dinner spot. People like The Barking Crab too but I've never gotten a table there in the past, so can't vouch.

    If you want one of the best meals you will have in Boston: get in a cab on Sunday morning and go to Myers + Chang for Sunday dim sum brunch. FUCKING DO THIS. Get the tea-smoked ribs. You will thank me.
  • Barking Crab is decent, if a bit touristy. I might be going with a few other friends on Saturday depending on the schedule (but they had to make reservations well in advance).

    It's also nearly a tradition to go to Grendel's Den in Cambridge on Sunday for me.

    Hmmm... are the tables at the Seaport smaller than the giant round tables at the Westin? That might be better all around.
  • The area I'm referring to had tables on the smaller side but pretty well enough suited for 4 player games. Quiet and out of the way, but just a bit dim. Prob enough space for 4 games.
  • I'll take a little bit small over too big to actually reach across the table (with an exception for Eclipse).
  • I have my trunk and be willing to join you all for secret TT at that time.
  • I have a rule against getting in people's trunks.

    No no I let things come out of the trunk not put them in it. There is a difference.

    Any Thursday evening plans? I'm wondering if it's worth heading over.

    My Thursday will include a Harpoon Brewery tour, a round at there Beer Hall and maybe dinner No-Name Seafood.

    How much is coat/bag check?

  • I will also be there on Thursday night, and am conveniently staying at the Seaport (Marriott?). How does one get in on this secret Tabletopping?
  • Car has games and dolly is loaded. If no one is making a group me could some text me (looks at @pence) once this goes down?
  • It's official. I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Hopefully see some of you there.
  • See y'all there!
  • Started GroupMe. Added everyone from my previous GroupMe contacts who was applicable. If I didn't add you and you want in, post your email. If I did add you and shouldn't have, sorry.
  • Could you add me, please? Ultimohayabusa@gmail.com
  • VentureJX@gmail.com
  • If anyone has an hour and wants to try a dumb freeform RPG I'm bringing a copy of my game Must be Tuesday and a pile of character sheets.
  • Thanks to @pence‌ my buddy and I will be there in full force for the weekend. I'd love to be added to the groupme too - roshan.sadanani+groupme@gmail.com
  • Would love to throw down a game of BSG after-hours!
  • Sad I'm not there. Sad sad.
  • And the internet hate begins:

    Don't know if it's legit. However, wasn't there talk about unisex bathrooms or something?

    The venue has confirmed it, and as a venue policy rather than a PAX policy.

    Not going to stop people from hating on and blaming PAX, though.

  • Yep pretty much.
  • Seriously, fuck the haters. They proved that they will shit on PAX no matter what when they cried foul about the diversity loungue, despite it being done at the recommendation of e very leading voice on those issues.
  • Wow. That's interesting. I don't know what to make of it, but either way it's interesting.

    I just looked at that G+ page again - *someone has a ramble about how this is another example of PAX's sexisim* "Uh, let's be clear, PAX didn't do this" "Yeah well it doesn't make them seem any less hostile"

    So, yeah.

  • Pretty sure pax is also adding the gender neutral bathrooms, as other conventions have done.
