Copy of Enthrone from Smirk and Dagger on the PAX U floor!
One last one - if you get a chance, stop by the @smirkanddagger.bsky.social booth! Really good selection of new board games, from 2 player Enthrone to the party based This Game Is Killer. Already played Enthrone 3 times, definitely worth it if you like 2 player games!

The Wet Ink Games booth at PAX Unplugged.
Next up, some ttrpgs! Please please check out @wetinkgames.bsky.social, I’m a huge fan of “Never Going Home”, but they have a brand new one this PAX Unplugged called Garbage and Glory where you get to play as raccoons! People have been loving it. Check them out!

Last day of PAX, time to share some amazing booths for last stops!
@asmadigames.bsky.social has some fantastic games like Innovation and Good Puppers, but I had a chance to play Mystical Curling Club, a really fun dexterity game about, well… Curling! Check it out if you can. It’s on Kickstarter!

The start of the SCIRE mega game.
We had such an amazing time playing the SCIRE mega game at #PAXUnplugged! Based on CBR+PNK and run by @mythworks.bsky.social, it was a massive ttrpg of 60+ players who had to try and survive, get transformed, forced to change teams, and tons of other surprises. Absolutely worth the experience.

If you get to the far corner of the #PAXUnplugged expo hall is @absurdistprod.bsky.social and they have an amazing board game called Winter Rabbit. Made by a Cherokee team and written in both Cherokee and English, it’s a semi-cooperative game of surviving winter!
Worth checking out if you can!
It’s great to see Nature by @northstargames.bsky.social out for sale, with all the expansions! One of the first places we stopped at #PAXUnplugged. If you ever liked playing Evolution or Oceans, it’s absolutely worth checking out!

While most of us are headed to PAX, some are staying behind, taking the chance to be more reflective on the gaming hobby and how it affects us.
Adam’s thoughts on challenging himself to enjoying the games he already has for a year:

For those of you who can’t make it to PAX Unplugged, don’t worry - some awesome people have created an alternative convention you can enjoy from home!
Check out some new ttrpgs and watch some panels of you get the chance!
CYB+PNK: Augmented by @mythworks.bsky.social is a small package that managed to create some of the best tabletop gaming moments we’ve had. Tons of flavor and a great introduction to many ttrpg game mechanics, wrapped up in a cyberpunk setting. Our review:

Hope to see you there!

For all those headed to PAX Unplugged this year, I made a quick cheat sheet for finding booths featuring TTRPGs in the Expo Hall :D
If I missed any, let me know! #PAXU #PAXUnplugged
I (finally) wrote a thing! Been a crazy last half a year for me, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on this game if you've been looking for a #ttrpg like this.
