What's up with Saturday Night?

Hi everyone!

So why doesn't Saturday night have more events? Friday has seven, Sunday has 13 (awesome!) and Saturday has... three! It's Saturday night people! Where is all of the action?!

I am getting in some mega action on Friday night and Sunday night but I wonder if I am missing something for Saturday night? I am hoping it states somewhere that Saturday night is open gaming madness but maybe not.

Can anyone let me in on the secret?

Thanks!
Shawn

The banquet is Saturday night, so a lot of us are going to that. I'm sure there will be some pick up games for those who aren't going to the banquet, and didn't get into one of the lottery events, so don't despair!

Hi Alanya,

Thank you for the response. Interesting that there are so few options for those not going to the banquet. Ah well, I'll see if I can scrounge up a game.

It is in a way "open" gaming madness because all the paizo staff are at the banquet which is the Saturday evening slot.
Fear not however, for there are many games to be found or simply hang out with the bar crowd. That is where much merry drinking will be and games to be found usually.

I will be arriving late Saturday night and would LOVE a pick up game. Never been to Paizo Con before, how does one find such a game and would it be PFS?

Typically you just poke around the open gaming rooms and see who's doing what? There are plenty of people who don't attend the banquet, as seating is limited, so the chances of finding a game, PFS or otherwise, is pretty good.

I was just informed Ill be arriving too late (6:30)to get a badge for Saturday night (you think the organizers would look at incoming amtrack schedules) so I guess I wont be able to play any games. Disappointing.

If folks want, I am likely willing to lend out the stuff I bring to the Board Game Smorgasbord on Friday (it's currently entirely filling the cargo volume of my Smart car) for use on Saturday night. Be nice to it. :)

I too was disappointed with the lack of Saturday night events, but I kinda understand since a lot of people will be in the banquet. That said, according to the schedule book, Open Gaming will be closed after 6:00pm. Anyone know if it will actually be open and just not staffed? Or where else one should look for pick-up games (preferably Society)? I already checked Warhorn and didn't see anything for Saturday night there. If all else fails I suppose we could hang out in the bar, but I can drink any time! I want to gaaaaaame!

The banquet takes place in the Grand Ballroom, thus open gaming needs to be done by 6 so they can set up. Pick up games can still happen, they just need to find another place to play. Try looking for a group of like-minded people right before they close the room; I'm sure there will be a few hanging around!

Except open gaming was in the Evergreen rooms, not the grand ballroom. We're getting ready to head down and see what we can rustle up, though. Good luck, all!

In case anyone else was wondering, yes the evergreen rooms (and cascade rooms) are still open! We're currently looking for more people for a pickup game in evergreen 4.


My husband will be wandering with the Sons of Anarchy boardgame looking for players soon.
