I can't for the life of me find a thread for this year, strike me down with Thunderga if there already is one.
This year we're after Melbourne Cup, 4-6 November.
At the time of writing, I'm at the 'mini-PAX' on at Fed Square. It's a bit under baked, but they're rocking the square with Just Dance, with some tabletop, a little tent of indie videogames, and a few games with tabletop setup that I am currently slacking off from helping at (because it's going well rn).
The cosplayers have turned out as usual, there's a really fantastic Chris Hemsworth (sp?) Thor that was playing big Jenga.
Also, joust.
Three-day are at 85% sold last time I checked. Here's the link, fancy formatting and more info is for later.

Got everything booked as of a few days ago, so I'll be there this year, excepting for catastrophe, and even then it'd better be a pretty big catastrophe or I'm bloody well going anyway.

My brother kindly grabbed me a 3 day pass already, so I am all booked in! Haven't played a boardgame in a long while. Not sure some of you know but our second daughter arrived a little early in July. Everybody is happy and healthy, but im excited to get some gaming in come November.

I booked my tickets last year and it's counting down to this year's event fast! I think I got everything settled, just the visa left to get. I'm a terrible traveler so I need to list out all I need to pack for my first time being in Melbourne in November.
One thing I am highly considering to pack is my wooden box copy of Secret Hitler without the wooden box (that sh*t be heavy!). Especially since the Resistance was such a big hit 3 years ago.
Can't wait to be back!

I think there will be at least one copy of secret Hitler in the group with weemadando.

And the schedule is out now too.
I'll be running late night Werewolf as seems to have become a tradition.
Get Hype.

Ah, late night Werewolf. Going to be so tired and it will be awesome.
Redwing, would you be interested in the Overwatch (PC) 6v6 on Friday morning (10:30)? I'm considering getting a legit 6 player team together, if anybody know anyone or how I could track down players..?
Hoping to play the following at the Con (all first time):
Betrayal at House on Haunted Hill w MermaidPirate
Secret Hitler
Caverna
Sheriff of Nottingham
Keyflower
Ora Et Labora

I *hated* Ora Et Labora.
The rondel thing is kinda interesting, but there are 19(?) resources to keep track of, and you need to track not just things on your own board, but some options are only available from using things on other peoples board.
It is needlessly complicated. Stick to Agricola.
You gotta Roll for the Galaxy with me and the expansion.

How long to play RftG?
@timeyles | Steam | Battle.net troubleshot#1672 | Uplay troubleshot-GWJ
1 hour if you need to be taught.
30 minutes if you don't.
"How is that racist?" - Racists
I'd be keen! Although do bear in mind, I haven't really played it seriously in months at this point. I fired it up a few night ago and realised I'm crap at it all of a sudden. I can practice though, and to be fair I was trying to play Tracer, who doesn't strike me as the best choice to pick back up while rusty. Hopefully I still have my Mercy skills.

I endorse Roll for the Galaxy.
I've put in for a tabletop teaching shift, that's an all dayer, don't know which day yet though.
Also there is a chance but a very low one I might be working again. The booth is there on the map but I haven't heard anything. *shrug*
><( ^_/)?
I'm down for 6v6 Overwatch. But like Redwing, I'm out of practice as well.
Really want to hit up Secret Hitler and Sheriff of Nottingham at the tables.
Some Dead of Winter would be cool too.

Here's the weather. Cosplayers am cry. Note that there's both sun and heavy rain on the weekend day icons, might be half and half.

Raining? In Melbourne? Say it ain't so!

So it turns out I have a 3 day badge for sale (I'm still going). Mate's rates, PM if interested.
Edit: resorted to gumtree, this is the worst. Never let me sell anything time sensitive ever again. People send you a 'hey, is it still available?' message and then never reply with a time they can exchange, or are only available when you aren't, etc. Arrrrrrgh.
><( ^_/)?
Down for both of those. I know at least 2 people that can teach Scythe.

Hey all,
A friend gave me a 3 day pass, and after getting out of work, I find myself at PAX and I don't know anyone here.
How would one find you all?

Most of us in tabletop. We have a flag that Mermaid Pirate made that is occasionally set up out there.
