Greetings, Starfinders and Pathfinders! With just a little over a week until PAX Unplugged (I’m not anxious, you’re anxious), we’re here to give you an easy guide to all things Paizo at the show!

Games and Demos at Booth 22A!

Paizo’s booth space at PAX Unplugged is focused on games and demos! We’ll be running Organized Play adventures, board game demos, and Starfinder Second Edition demos all weekend!

• We’re excited to bring Pathfinder Society and Starfinder Society to PAX Unplugged! Players can pre-register for games, or join a table as a walk-up throughout the day!
• Drop in to try out one of our board games—Goblin Firework Fight and Elemental Stones! This will be the first physical demo of Elemental Stones, after the digital-only demos during PaizoCon 2023.
• Get an early access first look at Starfinder Second Edition! Paizo staff will be running Starfinder Second Edition demos throughout the weekend.

GEN CON ONLINE 2021

As many of you have already heard, Paizo has elected not to attend Gen Con 2021 in person, though we’ve got lots of fun planned for Gen Con Online 2021.

The Gen Con Organizing Committee is dedicated to ensuring a smooth execution of online events and a large selection of scenarios and systems. We are proud to debut the two new multi-table interactive specials for Starfinder and Pathfinder Second Edition. While we aren’t at liberty to provide you with a ton of information about these two scenarios, we can confidently say you won’t want to miss them, and you should definitely consider playing both!

Online badge registration will open on June 27th, and badges for Gen Con Online are free. You will need to register for a badge to be able to acquire tickets for seats at virtual tables, so make sure you remember to snag your online badge! We will keep you updated with information regarding tickets and event registration as it becomes available.

PAX Unplugged

We wish to note Paizo will not be attending this year's PAX Unplugged. We are awaiting news on whether the show will have an online component and will let our community know our plans to provide online programming once we know more. We expect to return to physical conventions in 2022. Thanks, and stay safe!
