Because convention season should never end, Erik, Sarah, and I spent a good part of our long weekend checking out the Penny Arcade Expo here in Seattle, previewing lots of incredible-looking games and hanging out with thousands of gamers gripping both joysticks and rolling dice. I also made another delightful discovery downtown. Here are some of the highlights!

So did Erik meet any cute ghouls at New Vegas?

Mr. Rex does get around.

Nowhere in the contents of the photographs did Sarah shy away from the camera. That is unnatural. She's even posing in one. Someone is photoshopping the ArtDirectorix into blog posts here.

I was wondering why Pathfinder/PF Society didn't have a presence this year at PAX. I suspected the need for rest after the GenCon push, but tabletop is growing at PAX year by year. Surely this can be rectified in '11! If not officially, I'll look into running some games myself.


That giant Beholder is total WIN!

Where can one hire a specimen of those??

That's WotC's I'm pretty sure. I had a photo of it and a life size troll mini from GenCon 2008 on my old phone.

Awesome, yes but sadly it is the harbinger of the dark times for Paizo, AKA it was made for the release of 4e, so... anybody know a ranger with Favored Enemy (Aberrations)?

I never said things didn't turn out well after the dark times, just that the life-size beholder was the harbinger of them.

Sovereign Court

Someones knocked a bunch of the teeth out of that beholder's mouth- lots of wires when you stick your arm in.

I think the Great Test is probably a better term for it.

Paizo was taking the StarStone test of GodHood, they have succeeded and become as true gods amongst the RPG Pantheon
