Anyone attending PAX Unplugged this weekend?
This is my first PAX Unplugged, and I just moved to Philly. Would be awesome to say hello to some of you at the event!

Yes! I will be there Friday and Saturday :) Any games you're looking forward to seeing?
I'm personally gonna try to get into a Blood in the Clocktower game, hoping they have some copies available to buy but I highly doubt it.
Ah, cool! I remember hearing about that one. I don’t have anything in particular I want to see. I’m a bit out of the loop on the board gaming scene at the moment, so I’m looking forward to catching back up.
Looks like you generally register for games via the app the morning of? Do I have that right?
I think so! Usually it's not a big deal for not as popular games, but I think Unplugged has gotten more popular recently. Friday and Sunday is usually the least busy days, but I'd still sign up for stuff you really really want to do.
My suggestion from last year is PostCurious's booth, looks like they'll be there this year too. They make narrative puzzle games, I picked up A Light in the Mist last year which is an incredibly interesting concept. I'm a little biased but Hot Banana Games did a game based off of dim sum called Steam Up which is fun too. If you're into old school sci fi, make sure you go to Move Rate 20 games, I met one of their designers Jim at PAX East a couple of years ago, his game Mission to Planet Hexx is a really fun tile laying game and referential to all of the old Star Wars/Trek/BattleStar/Doctor Who stuff.
Those sound like great suggestions. I'll check them out. Thank you!
