It was mostly about making interesting characters. This particular panel was run by Ruty Rutenberg and Satine Phoenix. There was a line, but it was well-managed and there was plenty of seating when we got in. I was sort of dreading that aspect of it. People had warned me that PAX was all about waiting in lines. He gave me the most powerful hug I'd ever received in my life. Then I ran into Travis Boles, who is sort of like the man behind the curtain for WebDM. Cons have completely changed, apparently.

This was nothing like the cons I went to years ago, which were hot, sweaty, intense affairs full of dudes arguing about rules. I was in a place full of people who were happy to see me. We leave that room and I'm sort of reeling from the whole thing. finger touch, and Pruitt gave me a mighty hug. Grant gave me a firm handshake, Kelli (we both play in Mordenkainen's Path of the Planes) and I shared an E.T. Who's in there playing a game? Grant Ellis, Kelli Butler, and WebDM Pruitt! I said hello to each. So then, we're walking around, and we peer in a large room with tables. I also got to thank Holly and Anna for appearing on Waffle Talk, my show that discusses Dice, Camera, Action. Anna told me that they had gone over my blog many times in the early days of DCA. It's an item from the choose your own adventure book that got me into D&D in the first place - Mountain of Mirrors by Rose Estes.Īs I walked away, I told Garrett that the con was already worth it. Her character, Lytria, wields the mighty Sword of the Magus in Secrets of Castle Greyhawk. Then I turned to Kikka and whispered these immortal words: " Sword of the Magus". Jared told me, "That's what we're going to try to do tonight." I made sure to tell Nate that him counterspelling Manshoon's power word: kill was epic and I talked with Jared about how the group seemed to be able to fill a 2 hour session even if Chris said nothing. I talked briefly with each member of the waffle crew. The whole thing was so surreal that I felt like I was running on auto-pilot. Know who it was? Kikka! She plays in my Secrets of Castle Greyhawk campaign. I'd caught them right as they were wrapping up their merch table stuff, so there was no line at all. The entire group was right there at their table. Once I saw them, I felt like a ghost or something. I was already feeling like I was in an out of body experience.
He told me he'd met the waffle crew, the heroes of Dice, Camera, Action, and he urged me to go and say hello. It was so weird to meet him in person, in a "is this real?" kind of way. We were staying in a large suite with a pair of huge beds, a massive TV, and plenty of furniture.
I got to Philly and met the first of many people: Garrett (he runs the Rappan Athuk campaign that I play in), met me at the Marriot that directly connects to the convention center where PAX was held. I tried to peel back the layers some more, but my train arrived and there was a mad dash to get in line. While waiting at Penn Station, some guy started telling me about how he was going to meet a woman who had just gotten divorced. One annoying person will ruin a 4 hour session for me.įellow Traveler: I had to take two trains to get from New York to Philly. D&D games at a con with people you don't know are hit and miss. For me, the key to enjoying the con was to not sign up for anything. I went, and I'm glad I did! It was exhausting for sure, but worthwhile. A lot of people I've met online were going, though, and something told me that I needed to go to PAX Unplugged, even if it made me uncomfortable. I don't go out much and I like it that way. and Jeremy Crawford, the man in charge of D&D rules, took over. This year's PAX was a bit special, as Chris Perkins has stepped down from the role of DM for Acq Inc. These are the shows that the big Acquisitions, Inc. PAX Unplugged is a large convention that took place in Philadelphia just a few days ago.
