Other than scheduled events, are there places set up where you can catch some casual games of X-Wing around the clock?

Shuttle Tydirium is offering some casual B-team space when we have tabke space. We are in Lucas Oil. No hard core folk out our way. Can even do v2 if you have the stuff.

I'm also angling to get a Starter set on Thursday and we have a few Learn Xwing events that would be great to do v2.

I’m scheduled to be with you guys most of the Con. Check your PM.

I heard the Imperial Star Destroyer games were not selling so well, which is a surprise. It's such an awesome game and one if the best things I did last year.

I was interested in doing one but they conflicted with other events are were listed as 7 hours long.

All depends on what it's competing with in the time slot though... A lot of the events I wanted to try with you guys coincided with something else. I did sign up for one, but I'm trying not to have my entire weekend be X-Wing this time around.

So, even though y’all only have 4 X-Wing B-Team Casual events on the calendar, y’all may have table space open at other times?

I was trying to get into a B-team event, but I didn’t get into the one I tried to get, and the other ones didn’t fit my schedule.

Which one are you trying to get into?

It was the one Friday at 4pm. It filled before my wish list processed that far.

I’m signed up for the Thursday 10:00 spot but not sure I’ll make it if I get stuck in line at FFG.

Thought about going to Casual B-Team first till noon then trying FFG after the initial rush is over but I’m afraid they’ll sell out.

If you’re looking to catch some casual games, hit me up. X-wing is the only reason I’m going to Gen con. Hope to get as many games in as I can.

@elfholme We are adding 2 more B-Team events and expanding capacity for some of the sold out events. The request has been made to GenCon, just awaiting processing. The new events will be Thur @ noon and Sat @ 1pm.

We will have some table space available throughout the convention (between scheduled events), so bring some generics, flag one of us down and we will find a spot for you to play.

Based on last year's performance, although our events were mostly sold out or very close to it, only about 50% to 66% of the ticket holders actually showed up to play. So, if you are interested in an event, please show up with generic tickets (or any ticket you are no longer going to us) and you can fill an empty seat to join in on the fun!

You can even jump into the middle of some of our events (like the ISD mission) if there are empty seats.

Awesome! I would love to know when those events are available!

I’m sure I’ll be bringing a few ships with me beyond whatever I’ll be using in the Nationals Qualifier.

Thanks for the note Biff. I'm going to be with you guys for Mario Kart, a Casual B-Team and three HotAC. Hope to play some more casual games in between.

@elfholme I will post here when I notice that the added events have gone live. I'm hoping the changes will be in place no later than Sunday. Thanks for the interest!

Awesome! Thanks for signing up! I hope you don't get sick of us by the end of the weekend. Doses of the crew in excess of 2 hrs every other week could be hazardous...

It may work the other way around. Y’all may be trying to run me off before it’s over. “This guy won’t leave! He just keeps playing game after game!!”

Still no movement from Gen Con on our requested edits to our event list. I still plan to post here when the new events go live.

Thanks for that, Biff!

I mean, if I'm able to snag an upgrade kit, I imagine I'll be on the prowl for some 2.0 games at some point in the weekend.

The Shuttle Tydirium crew is working to add a few open table events (we call them B-Teams) to allow these type of pickup games. Bring generic tickets and we will do our best to get you at a play mat. We will be in Lucas Oil - look for the Lego Lambda Shuttle trailing Ewoks!

Escorted by highly trained Ewok Death Commandos. You can tell by the unflinching way that they follow the shuttle.
