Check out our Panels!

  • Friday Nov. 21st 4pm-5pm Eastern “Collaborative Worldbuilding in TTRPGS
    • Location: Mothman Theater (Grand Ballroom A)

      Get creative with the Darrington Press development team for an interactive panel on worldbuilding! Players and their characters always leave their mark on the worlds they play in, but building the world has traditionally fallen to the role of game masters. Many modern TTRPGs encourage and provide frameworks for sharing worldbuilding with the players, which can heighten player investment and an interweaving of the characters and the world they’re in. In this interactive panel, panelists will cover best practices of incorporating players into the worldbuilding process, along with a live interactive worldbuilding session with the audience!

  • Saturday Nov. 22nd 10am-12pm Eastern “Daggerheart Live: Building the Next Chapter
    • Location: Main Theatre (Grand Ballroom B)

      Join Matt Mercer, Spenser Starke, Jeremy Crawford, Rowan Hall, Elise Rezendes, & a special guest for a presentation on what the team has been cooking up in the six months since Daggerheart’s launch! We’ll kick off with a series of major announcements, give a first look at new projects, lay out the roadmap for what’s ahead of us, and hand out some special keepsakes to our live Philly audience.

      Following that, we’ll host a special cast of players embarking on an adventure in a brand new campaign frame—revealed for the first time at PAX Unplugged! Get a sneak preview of the new setting, lore, and campaign mechanics it offers as we jump headlong into the action.

    • Saturday Nov. 22nd 8pm-10:30pm Special appearance with Acquisitions Incorporated!
      • Location: Main Theatre (Grand Ballroom B)

        Join Matthew Mercer & Jeremy Crawford as they take the stage Saturday night with Acquisitions Incorporated. More information to be revealed as we near the event, so keep an eye out!
