I know Seattle is close to home turf for the Paizo folks, and PAX keeps getting bigger ...
... any chance of an official presence this year? Or a panel? Or just some PFS stuff?
I'll mostly be there for video gaming, but will probably hit a pickup game or two if it's anything like last year.
Anyone else going and planning on running some Pathfinder?
Saying "for financial reasons" indicates we couldn't afford to attend. So I'll nip that in the bud and say we attended for three years. We're choosing not to attend because we just don't see tabletop gaming as a focus of that show. I love PAX, I love what the guys at PAX are doing, I'll probably attend the show as a fan. From a business perspective, though, we have to allocate our marketing resources where they do the most good and PAX is just not a big tabletop show.

Clarification appreciated. When I asked the same question last year, you told me "Unless PAX stops charging huge sums for their play space, we won't be able to run games there."
The question seems to come up every few months, and I was just trying to save you the effort of repeating yourself :)
Well, sure, the last time we checked they were charged a large sum of money for tiny spaces in which to play. I'm not sure if that changed, but even if did I wouldn't put PAX on my radar for PFS.

This is fair, though Paizo's presence will be felt. WotC was there in force last year, and I expect Green Ronin and Bioware to have a big Dragon Age RPG presence, given the crossover potential. Somewhere in there, I'd love to play some Pathfinder. There was certainly a lot of unused space in the gaming building last year, so hopefully some of us can get together for some a game or two-I don't travel for cons that often and would love to game with strangers :).
I'll check when the final schedule is up to see what folks are into.
I've sent an email off to my buddy at Penny Arcade and we'll see what they say. No guarantees.
