Tabletop at PAX

From the PAX website:
Ranging from as hardcore as D&D to as casual as Bananagrams, the PAX Tabletop area has games for all gamer types and skill levels. With hundreds of freeplay tables and the ability to checkout games like you would books at a library, this area could easily keep you occupied for the entire weekend. Forget all those digital beep boops – rolling a twenty and looking your opponent in the eye is where it’s at!

Fantasy Flight Games will be running a 64-person X-Wing tournament Friday, August 29th, starting at 11 am, and running a 128-person Android: Netrunner tournament on Saturday, August 30th, starting at 11 am. Signups for both tournaments start at 10 am the day of the tournament at PAX Tabletop Tournaments HQ, in the Emerald Ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Motif Seattle Hotel (formerly known as the Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Ave).

Wizards of the Coast hasn’t announced their PAX Prime plans yet, but if you were there last year you know it’s gonna be great. Last year featured huge MtG tournaments and D&D Live Podcasts. We will update you as soon as we know more!
