Will there be PSACG play at PAX East?

Will Paizo be at PAX East, running PSACG?

[Keith Richmond]

Good question. I know that several of the Lone Shark folks will be there, and time willing I'd happily play a game with you, but I'll defer to Tanis and Vic for actual official presence answering.

Tanis is at BGG Con this week, so that answer might take a bit.

We are looking at PFS activities at PAX East - both RPG and ACG. I will follow up with our local coordinators and post back here when I have more information!

For some historical information, I've run demos of PACG the last two PAX Easts. Although as you might remember, i was somewhat occupied last year. We have not yet run PFSACG scenarios at a PAX East.

What we can do is driven by how much space and how many volunteer badges we get to the show; with our limited resorces the Boston Lodge has typically chosen to run demos and RPG Quests (one-hour adventures using pregenerated characters) to get new people in the fold rather than run full-length 4 hour RPG adventures and PFSACG scenarios for established players. But of course this is subject to change. What I can say is that Sarah and I will be at the show, and at the very least I'm sure we could find some time to play a pickup PACG game there. :)

Also historically (for the past two years), Mike has had a panel where he's talked about some aspect of game design at PAX East, and said panels have had the PACG convention promos. I can't speak to future events, but do hope that trend can continue. Even if he has to drive due east from Montreal to get here. It is, after all, PAX East.

Thanks for the background info and the efforts you have put in on behalf of PACG. We are waiting on the news of space/badges, as you mentioned above. Once we have that, we can start planning.

Not having been at a Pax East before, which Mike are you talking about? I've got a few too choose from :P

Sorry, that would be Mike Selinker.

I expect, pending positive returns on Tonya's data requests, that there will be vigorous Season of the Runelords play, particularly given the hometown of one Keith Richmond.

As I understand it, PAX Prime is very similar to PAX East in that we've always been very happy with just doing a crapton of demos given the sheer number of people that wander through the halls; is PAX East going to be different in that regard next year? Or are we going to do the same thing for PAX Prime as well, given the similarity between the two?

[Tanis O'Connor]

PAX East is actually much more of a "play games" show than PAX Prime.

This was a joke at Ben Carson's graphic designer's expense, of which I approve wholeheartedly.

That might explain last winter here in Boston.

[Keith Richmond]

It sure might. It was a bad enough winter that I'm still surprised I live here ;)

I'm largely safe, except when I try to use the accent, or I hang around with someone from Dawchesta too long.

Oh, Matt's accent isn't *that* bad.

Any developments on this front? Just 100 days out.

[Tonya Woldridge]

I received word this week that Pathfinder Society will be at PAX East. Earl Gendron and Lucas Servideo are co-leads for the show. You can contact them for specifics. I also asked them drop drop a line here on their plans for the show.

Contact information for them is here: Regional Coordinator List

Earl is the Connecticut - Manchester VL.

Lucas is the Massachussettes - North Shore VC.

At this moment we are still waiting on details for location, tables and badges our first year we had 2 dedicated tables to PACG running demos(2014), we had demos upon request at 2015 due to a smaller space. We also offered pick-up games.

This year we are discussing what to do as we just got notified we were invited back. Details will come hopefully in the next few weeks.

Thank you
Lucas

[Keith Richmond]

You want to look at the upper right of that graph.

On topic, looking forward to seeing folks and playing some PACG at PAX EAST :)

[LackofFocus]

Update I just got official word we will have the same location as we had last year. I am just waiting to find out how many GMs I am going to have to see what I will be dedicating to PACG and RPG.

I will be keeping the thread updated as we get closer.

[Cpt_kirstov]

See here for the most up to date information. as far as the card game goes, at this point we hope to have 1-2 tables of the demos deck missions going all weekend. We are still determining resources and what volunteers know the card game so that we can make sure everyone has a few breaks to rest their voices and see the show, so we are uncertain, but may have more things available. Lucas and I are getting our ducks in a row as quickly as we can now that we are only a month out.

[Lucas Servideo]

So everyone I just got these back from the printer there may be some available for Prizes.

I saw your entry in the contest, and since that thread has been overwhelmed by a non-PACG contest related discussion, I figured posting here about it would be more reasonable.

That mat looks awesome. What is it printed on?

[Lucas Servideo]

They are printed on a water resistance vinyl so if something gets spilled on it, it is also flexible so it can be rolled up or folded for travel. It also will not tear.
