Was so much to take in, here is a thread of other neat stuff at PAX Unplugged

Much to my surprise ran into some mighty kind fellas (Darren Reckner and Jason Hager) with good taste in hats. Honestly I was delighted to see other cowboy games at PAX Unplugged. Can't wait to break this box open with some cowpokes #RowdyPartners #PAXUnplugged

After experiencing my first PAX ever, I can't wait to attend again! Thanks to Together Demo Days community for giving me and other BIPOC game designers the chance to attend. Everybody was so welcoming. Amazed to see how much of it was people attending just to play together #PAXUnplugged

PAX East was epic! Thank you @officialpax.bsky.social ! We owe so much to our partner @dotsrpg.org & got to hang out irl with advisory board member @dougcockle.bsky.social --- plus make a host of new friends! To everyone we met in our games, panels, or booth: stay in touch & we'll see you soon! 💜

There’s so much to unpack in the wake of #PAXUnplugged, but what I want to do most is shout out these wonderful TTRPG designers from the Pax Together BIPOC Demo Days program: Nigel, Brandon, Kyle, and Eli. @robotcowboysofmars.bsky.social @therisingtithes.bsky.social @blackmarketpress.bsky.social
