We will have tables running the entire convention\, every hour on the hour. Sign-ups will be held day of at the demo tables starting each morning. \nFor our 4-hour adventures\, registration begins at 8AM on day of the event\, via the PAX Nav app and take place in the RPG Library (Room 108)! Here are the adventures you can choose from: \nYe of Little Taste: Whimsy and wonder are peppered through this tier 1 Daggerheart adventure set in Hecklin’s Rest\, a farming village populated by fruit and vegetable people! Transformed by a spell\, these villagers are hoping adventurers can be a peach and break this magic curse. Anyone who does a plum job will be rewarded for solving this particular pickle\, but squashing this chaotic magic might not be as simple as it seems! With pregenerated characters that use options from Hope & Fear\, you can experience collaborative storytelling\, exploration\, combat\, and social interaction with an adventure that just can’t be beet. \nThe Dying Spire: A level 2 Daggerheart adventure! Featuring pre-generated characters for easy onboarding\, the adventure comes prepared with a wide variety of classes and ancestries for your table to experience. Those who have played the Quickstart Adventure will recognize familiar characters from “The Sablewood Messengers!” This adventure is designed as a self-contained experience for new players looking to jump into the game at a higher level of play\, or to continue the adventure for those who have already played the Quickstart Adventure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Daggerheart Played by Acquisitions Incorporated\nThe Acquisitions Incorporated liveplay series returns to Daggerheart at PAX Unplugged! You’ll be able to watch live in the theater or tune in virtually at home—stay tuned for timing and details. \nPanels\nFriday: Scare Tactics: The Psychology of Horror in Game Design\nWhat separates a mildly spooky session from a truly terrifying table? Join Jeremy Crawford\, Laura Tutu\, Kendrick “Kendo” Smith\, Gina Susanna\, Caleb Zane Huett as they bring together academic psychology\, award-winning indie RPG design\, and uncanny actual-play performance to explore how mechanics\, sensory inputs\, and narrative pacing manipulate the human mind. We will dive into how systems hardwire paranoia into their rulesets\, and how GMs and players can translate that dread into unforgettable table dynamics. Whether you’re a GM looking to construct a frighteningly fun time\, a designer building the next great horror system\, or simply a fan of the macabre\, you will walk away with practical tools to engineer nightmares. Q&A to follow.\n \n\nWhen: Fri\, Dec 4\, 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM\nWhere: Crab God Theatre (Room 113C)\n\nSunday: Daggerheart: Behind the Scenes\nThe team behind Critical Role & Darrington Press’s Daggerheart share a look at the latest release\, the expansion Daggerheart: Hope & Fear\, and what’s coming up next! Join the panel to hear how this award-winning team creates mechanics and storytelling tools for game masters and players in Daggerheart. This will be a round-table discussion with panel previews and Q&A.\n \n\nWhen: Sun\, Dec 6\, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM\nWhere: Mothman Theatre (Grand Ballroom A)\n\nAdditional Staff Events\nSaturday: Queen by Midnight Designer Kyle Shire in OOPS! All Himbos! in… Dungeon Crawler Himbos!\nJoin tabletop’s favorite Himbos (probably) as Jay Foster takes Kyle Shire\, Jesse Jerdak\, Omega Jones\, Danny Quach\, Sandeep Parikh\, and Johnny Stanton IV through our very own rendition of Dungeon Crawl by Princess Donut as we dive into the official Dungeon Crawler Carl TTRPG by Renegade Games.\n \n\nWhen: Sat\, Dec 5\, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM\nWhere: Mothman Theatre (Grand Ballroom A)
