PAX West is looming fast, and we're trying to think of ways to make things a little bit more special at the meetup. We've traditionally done this as a Q&A, but since we already have Q&As with Mike & Jerry at PAX, we'd like to use this time as an opportunity to do something different.

This might be a mini-episode of a tabletop game, some music, or some other kind of nonsense that we haven't thought of yet. Fundamentally though, we want you to be happy about the meetups. If the Q&A format is something you'd rather we stick to, we're happy to do it. Just let us know!

Club PA Tee-K.O?

Anonymous

I'm voting for the Q&A, but I like asking other staff besides Mike and Jerry questions.

Zillions

Por que no los dos? I do love the Q&A but it would be neat to do something interactive and fun together as well, such as JackBox!

I like the Q&A because we can generally ask questions that don't get asked at the panels. But on the other hand I also like the idea of something interactive so I'm torn.

ClubPA

We also have the option now of doing Q&As as a stream, which we haven't had previously

VikingGoat

I've never made it to one, is there an example I can look at?

I don't know what supplies are like, but what's the feasibility of some kind of tasting of the Acquisitions Intoxicated brews hosted by Jerry? Or for more inclusivity, perhaps an ice cream social?

Snow Dogs

I won't be at Pax West but I'm hoping there will be a meet-up at PAXAUS

can there be an option for "any format that doesn't end up with us press ganged into working in Cluus' dice mines?"

I enjoy the Q&A format but there's no reason not to shake it up and maybe encourage a little more mingling. I don't have nearly enough time during the year to meet other Club PA folks so I always look forward to PAX South!

ClubPA

I suspect we'd run into some logistical/legal issues around that, but I can look into it!

ClubPA

We don't normally record these I'm afraid, but we're thinking about trying it

Ice Cream Social or a Pizza Party imo

I love the idea of an ice cream social. There are so many local companies with great ice cream - my personal favorite is Whidbey Island Ice Cream Company - it'd be great to show off to visitors to the area!

Ben Lindquist

I assume non-PAX West attendees shouldn't vote? I'd like to impact the future... like PAX Unplugged.

To me, the best thing about the meetups is the chance to metaphorically (and perhaps physically) high-five some of the people that make all this cool stuff I enjoy. I think the Q&A is good for that, but it could take any number of forms, so either way works for me! :)

The Insider knowledge is cool, and I would love more of the same. That said, I can understand changing the format somewhat. Maybe a hybrid? Short QA and then A New Thing.

Michael Duffy

I agree with a lot of the sentiments stated above. I like the option of Q and A, without a lot of the repeat questions. I’d love to see: - short 15 min rundown of how the last few months have been and what’s on the horizon -short 15 min Q and A, maybe submitted here prior? So we can find some solid questions. -30 min interactive stuff. Jackbox was a really good suggestion, so something in this line gets everyone involved. Thoughts?

We just want to hang out. :)

I say just have fun with with it. As long as you all enjoy whatever you set up then I'm sure we will enjoy it

I would request that if something like a tabletop game occurs, a video of the event could be made available to those of us not able to make it this year.

I know, Club PA Escape Room...except it's actually a real trap with zombies coming for us...

Grieger

Wait, nevermind...forgot. People might not be happy with dying...nuts.

I'd go for something casual that isn't a Q&A. Drinks, food, games, just a hang out. As someone who will be a wallflower at social events, something that lets people mix, doesn't put them on the spot and lets the staff mingle in someway would be fine, especially if there are a lot of people (as I suspect there will be for a PAX West or East gathering, no?).

IncreaseBlue

I vote a live Acquisitions Intoxicated or a mini-omegathon.

Brian Beard

Something less structured, maybe a quick news round up, this is whats coming for the next quater, then Q&A. Followed by a casual meet. A chance to meet the other Arcadians, not necessarily to talk to the PA Crew... i dont know or that could be lame.

Hey Pedro, I'm just replying to you because I'm trying to troubleshoot why I'm not getting notifications of comment replies. Pls reply. :( Also where did you see the notification for this reply, in the msgs tab or somewhere else? Thanks :P

I've never been to a PAX and likely will never make it to one, but I love being part of this club. All I would like is for the meetup to be recorded and posted here. I want to feel like I'm there in spirit.

I'm hoping this will finally be the year that I make it to a meet-up! I've been part of the PA club since 2014 and have never been able to actually make it to one. I always get distracted and forget and/or my group makes plans away from the area.

Aurora Gununderson

I also have never been able to attend a meetup in person. I would love to be able to attend via stream, or even just view a recording at a later date.

I loved the Robert Khoo insider information meet-ups. Was really cool to hear the little behind the scenes things that made PAX and PA the way they were.

Anonymous

I’ve enjoyed the Q&As so maybe do a combo of we can chat and ask whatever Qs but toss in a food thing or better yet....let’s play Pictionary XD. Absolutely wanna see some Jerry doodles ;)

Anonymous

I like being able to chat with the PA crew at the meetups, and a little Q&A is fun. But an activity might be fun...something that the whole group can play so no one feels left out and the introverted don't have to talk.

Billy

I'm fine with the current format but I also trust PA to do something creative when given the opportunity. Battle Royale modes are popular these days :-)

Alexander E Smith

I'm happy to have any kind of meetup, but since variety is the spice of life, and we're probably going to keep having the Q/A at PAX (which I love), I'll throw a vote at "something different". Honestly it could still be a Q/A and I wouldn't be upset. Be creative, set up something /you/ think would be fun, because coming to see what that would be is why I started reading the strip and watching PATV in the first place.

Anthony Dye

I like the "inside-baseball" nature of the Q&A, it feels different and more exclusive than the main ones.
