Well, gamers, my short visit to PAX East has concluded, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. As I expected, it was a very different vibe to PAX Unplugged, which is the only PAX I normally attend, but it also had some similarities. As someone who is definitely more in the board game sphere of things, but still enjoys an occasional video game (I am actually currently obsessed with Marvel Heroes Omega again) I definitely thought the show was interesting. But without further ado, here are my thoughts! Organized by 🟢Pros, 🔴Cons, and ⚫Neutral Thoughts

What?! A convention post in March?! How new and unusual! That’s right, gamers, I’m headed to PAX East later this month! Unfortunately, I’m only able to attend for one day this year, but I’m still really looking forward to it because I have never been to this convention.
I know there’s some tabletop stuff, which I’m definitely interested in checking out, of course, (definitely took a look at their First Look gaming options), but there’s obviously also tons of video game stuff. Admittedly, I don’t know as much about that side of gaming, but I do have a few favorite video games (mostly narrative types) and just love seeing new things and just kind of noting what I might want to play in the future.
While I’m not 100% sure what to expect (trying not to compare it to UnPlugged too much), I took a look at the Expo Hall list, and here’s a few things I’m interested in checking out!
So, you want to undermine the Holy Roman Empire’s authority and enact Enlightenment reforms? Then you must stay hidden while you work to extend your Order’s reach.
