Pax unplugged 2018 dates free#

PAX Unplugged’s tabletop RPG presence appeared smaller than in previous interactions. With that said, I have a few observations I can get into: RPGs Recede As such, this is more of a “quick hits and observations” kind of article, rather than a daily log or the detailed dive I have previously done. My initial plan to have some level of presence over all three days hit a real world wall faster than I could have planned, and thus I was only able to attend in the afternoon of the first day. I will begin with a caveat that my window for observation was far shrunk as opposed to previous years. So I absolutely want this convention to keep going.

This year, the team made sure that getting through the door was about as pain free as possible despite requiring proof of vaccination along with the necessary ticketing and security checks for entry. My GMing has increased since my last visit to the convention, and with it so has my appreciation for the work that it takes to get this rolling each year. Second, I want to thank them for the amount of logistics and cat wrangling it takes to get a group of tabletop gamers to do anything. Philadelphia has gotten some bad press as of late, but I never felt anything but safe and welcome as I walked through, to, and from the event space. I think that the area and community are an excellent fit with abundant transportation, housing, and food for a bunch of tabletop nerds, along with a city that prides itself on inclusivity.

Before I begin, I want to take a moment to thank the organizers for a few things: One, for continuing to choose Philadelphia as the site. I was fortunate enough to attend this year, making it the third year I’ve managed to go. PAX Unplugged returned to Philadelphia this year, marking the fifth time the convention has taken place.
