Power sockets?


PaizoCon General Discussion

Grand Lodge

Hi,

As I'll be bringing my laptop with PDFs to PaizoCon instead of a pile of books the following questions:

Are there power sockets in the gaming area?

And if so, should I get a extension cord (and which length) or are the sockets spread throughout the gaming area.

Thanks!


From memory it seems there were power sockets around the walls...so it depends on whether you can get one of those tables or get one in the middle.

I would suggest bringing the books - most of the walls are fold-away with no sockets, and the tables and area are already crowded without laptops (and cords to trip over). There aren't *that* many books of any appreciable size.

I'll be going laptop-style too. Tried to bring the books, but it would have been an entire extra suitcase. Couldn't justify spending (at least) $70 round trip, when I have them all in pdf form. I plan on having windows open to each pdf I might need and then putting lappy into sleep mode until I need to reference something.

Same here. I'm bringing my Asus eee Pad tablet, but I'm also considering bringing my laptop for backup. In either case, I'd rather have those two things than my books (the laptop is smaller than the core rulebook and the tablet is smaller still than that). The laptop has 15 hours of battery life, the tablet has 9. I think I'll be okay.

I'll be going the total laptop route as well, apart from print-outs of character sheets and hand outs and a couple flip-mats. While I'm perfectly capable of lugging books, I'm flying instead of driving, and I'm not going to pay the baggage fee.

I'm thinking it would be wise to pack a power strip, however.
