Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eric Portney" data-source="post: 7678934" data-attributes="member: 6704026">Hi everyone.  I'm Eric, the Tabletop Tournaments coordinator for PAX Prime, and the guy helping the D&D Adventurers League by provisioning space for them to operate at the show.As already indicated in the OP, beyond the panels and WotC's booth presence on the Expo Hall floor, the D&D Adventurer's League will be running sessions for Harried in Hillsfar and Shackles of Blood all show, and we have a wing of meeting rooms in the Hyatt Olive 8 Hotel specifically for this purpose.I know the focus here is on D&D in this thread, but I do want to point out the many other pen and paper RPGs represented at PAX Prime:- Paizo will be running Pathfinder in two rooms in the convention center- Catalyst Game Labs will be running Shadowrun and other RPG content in their room- Monte Cook Games will be running Numenera and The Strange content in their room- The Indie RPG Games on Demand group will be using four rooms in the convention center to run a wide range of indie systems and story games (e.g. Microscope, Fiasco, Monster Hearts, Dogs in the Vineyard, etc.)This level of commitment to RPGs at PAX Prime is not new. PAX Tabletop has included this diversity and volume of RPG content for the past 4 or more years, and as the space we are allotted within the show grows, so will our RPG offerings.  For now, the limitation to growing more rapidly is, as pointed out above, that the Convention Center simply isn't large enough.  But this is changing, as Seattle has approved and begun work on an expansion that will double the size of the Convention Center within a few years.My opinion is obviously biased, but, in short, is PAX Prime a destination for RPG players?  Yes.  Absolutely Yes.</blockquote>
