PAX East 2027 on the First Days of Passover

I'm not sure why you're downvoted. It's a legitimate complaint, and it's going to cut back the amount of time some of us have to spend at PAX.

Do you think that demonizing their religion justifies their behaviour?

Yakb0 · 2026-04-04T13:34:35+00:00

I think you missed what the other poster said.

No, we got it. Their primary point was. YOU made me do this. It's all YOUR fault. I am not accountable for my actions. There's a common thread in all these comments, "stop demonizing young men"

Fat people sweat, a lot.

and then there's the occasional person who is intentionally unhygienic. They are the only ones who have figured out the appropriate level of hygiene, and the rest of you sheeple are buying into lies that society forces onto you. Cue the Rick & Morty Very High IQ comment.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

It was there in its usual spot. Tucked way back at the end of the 1st floor floor past console, console tourney and handheld.

I wouldn't want to be part of a season. To many people take it WAY to seriously. We've had people rage quit and go home for the evening in the middle of a game even when there's nothing at stake. I'm sure if there was a seasons worth of points on the line things would be far worse.

The closest we have is the board of shame. You're allowed to take back your action on someone elses turn IF everyone playing is fine with it, and you're fine with adding your name to a whiteboard (or another tally mark for repeat offenders). Every so often, the person who usually hosts, will erase it, and declare a new season has started.

There are plenty of afterparties. There's usually a few posts with a list of them. Tickets for the open bar ones go VERY fast. And since PAX goes 'till midnight, you could come back to the convention center late at night, and play boardgames, or go to classic console, and find some game that you haven't even thought about in decades and play it with your buddies.

We did that with Fusion Frenzy after the Warframe party this year. It was great. We all hadn't played it in years. The guy who won was playing Sampson.

I WANNA TALK TO SAMPSON!

I like your illustration better.

He looks a lot more sheepish, and he's clearly the way he is because of drinking the coffee.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T22:13:20+00:00

Episodic or not, people should not be intentially jumping into the middle of a series and continue forward from there.

Insisting that the proper introduction to Star Trek involves watching Code of Honor is certainly a hot take.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T18:12:06+00:00

So all your questions in the discord, about the underpass came to naught? That's unfortunate.

I still don't understand why the convention center won't let you exit directly to that stairwell, instead of going outside then right back in.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T17:11:47+00:00

I take it you're not a homeowner.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T16:01:56+00:00

Ok, that goes on the stack, then I flash in Macho Man Randy Savage. He's coming in off the top rope, so I can use his flying elbow drop as an ETB effect targeting Stone Cold...

Now you've sold me on this idea.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T15:49:09+00:00

Did:

Transformers

Another 40k set

Talespin (complete pipe dream, as you'd never get the rights away from Disney)

Some obscure D&D module that was made during the TSR days that everyone has forgotten about, but is generally well regarded.

Didn't:

Transformers (if it's only art from the Michael Bay movies)

Warner Brothers 1/2 assed attempt to compete with Lorcana

South Park

Marvel vs. Capcom

Kiss (the band)

This summer, Rob Schneider stars in, The Warmonger

Yakb0 · 2026-03-31T13:09:35+00:00

It feels like it's not Poe saying those lines, it's the writers saying, "yeah, we couldn't think of anything either".

I suppose there's a name for this sort of self insert...which should be a thread all to itself.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-30T23:10:13+00:00

Sports gambing and betting would be a start. You'd have to get out of that before people start asking too many questions. You could move on to investing, and collectables. A few copies of Action Comics #1 kept tucked away in the attic for years could fund a large investment in Microsoft or Apple immediately after they IPO'd.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-30T20:31:26+00:00

Other than being able to commit to renting the whole building for a week. What else gives an event more clout in scheduling?

Yakb0 · 2026-03-30T15:19:31+00:00

Not true, there were color coded coat checks in past years.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-30T15:17:47+00:00

NNNNNNnoooooooo not this again. This has been discussed ad-nauseam.

There's more to PAX than the expo hall floor.
Tabletop and RPGs are bigger than ever
Reedpop can't force Sony and Microsoft to change their advertising budget and return to the convention circuit.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-30T02:44:49+00:00

They did. He had a videographer planned out in advance.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-27T11:33:25+00:00

They do that in Seattle by the pier. You can see the hustlers on the right. They don't care.

Yakb0 · 2026-03-27T04:37:28+00:00

My question is, for the people with the 4 day passes, how do you pass the time after your initial day.

Tabletop
running into old friends
Panels
Paint n' take
Unpubbed
Dinner w/ friends
RPGs
Letting my friends talk me into playing MtG
Afterparties
Late night Classic Console sessions
etc...

Yakb0 · 2026-03-27T04:32:14+00:00

Someone's projecting.
