News:: Tabletop-centric PAX Unplugged announced, set for Nov 2017 in Philadelphia

Today, during PAX South 2017, Penny Arcade announced PAX Unplugged, the latest in its ever-expanding series of Penny Arcade Expos. As the name suggests, PAX Unplugged will focus on tabletop gaming, taking the community-forward nature of your average PAX and applying it to the house that the Monopoly Man built. Unplugged will take place in Philadelphia, PA and will run from November 17-19, 2017.

"This show is borne out of demand. The industry as a whole is asking for more," Ryan Hartman, Penny Arcade's Director of Events and Soldier: 76 main said in a phone interview conducted earlier this week. "This is our chance to throw new things at the wall. This is gonna be a PAX, it's gonna have a PAX feel, it's gonna have our vibe and our fingerprints all over it, but [Unplugged] has its own spin and flavor. It's not a cut and paste of other shows we've done."

"It's on-brand for a gaming convention, because we're going to play around with that space," Penny Arcade co-founder and Zarya main Jerry Holkins said. "My suspicion is that because Unplugged is a different beast, we're going to learn a thing or two there that we can bring back [to the other shows.]"
