Greetings, players! We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be attending PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA this December 6-8! We’ll be running scenarios, quests, and demos for Pathfinder and the Starfinder Playtest, as well as demos of our board games!
This show will also be the last chance to participate in the Starfinder Playtest before it closes at the end of the year.
We’re now soliciting volunteers for the show! We are currently seeking volunteers for the following roles:
- Game Master: Run tables of Pathfinder Society quests and scenarios, as well as Starfinder Playtest scenarios.
- Board Game Demo GM: Run demo tables for Goblin Firework Fight and Elemental Stones. Applicants should have strong board game knowledge (both our games and general board games) and preferably have related demo experience.
- Headquarters (HQ): Answer player and GM questions, seat players, handle conflicts and disputes, and report games after completion.
Please read this important information before applying:
- Volunteer applications will be reviewed and accepted or rejected by the PAX Unplugged Organizing Committee. Filling this form out does not guarantee acceptance; you will receive an email with further information from the PAXU committee.
- PAX Unplugged schedules will be assigned by the committee. You will be asked for your preference of system and level, but you will not necessarily be able to choose the specific scenario(s) you run. The committee’s intention is to assign people to run the same scenario multiple times during the weekend. There is a free-form field at the end of the form to enter specific requests, though there’s no guarantee they will be honored.
- Reward information is listed in the table below. GMs who do not qualify for a badge will still need to purchase one.
- Applications will be processed on a rolling basis, beginning no later than September 16. The earlier you get your application in, the more likely it is you’ll get the scenarios you want. Please be patient as we put the final details on the convention internally before we send out GM emails!
- Please note that we will not be providing hotel rooms for GMs. All GMs will need to provide their own accommodation. Parking reimbursement is available for 7+ slot GMs if requested.
- Any questions about the GM signup process should be sent to the committee at paxunplugged[at]gmail[dot]com.
