PAX Unplugged 2025 took place November 21–23 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, in Pennsylvania, PA. This is an annual tabletop gaming convention. It focuses on board games, role-playing games, card games, and miniatures. This event provides a space for the tabletop community to connect and enjoy various low-tech games.
The event, put on by ReedPop and the Penny Arcade team, featured over 300 exhibitors ranging from industry giants like Asmodee and CATAN Studio to innovative indie developers. The show floor was a bustling hub for demos and exclusive purchases.
The event drew thousands of enthusiasts for a weekend celebrating board games, TTRPGs, and community. The event highlighted several new releases such as Brightcast, and Hubworld Aidlaon. There was also showcases and panels held by major publishers such as Cephalofair Games and Darrington Press.
PAX Unplugged also featured a series of panels stuffed with fan-favorite tabletop developers and personalities. Guests this year included Matt Mercer, Nicki Wiehrs, Mark Meer, Anjali Bhimani and The Dungeon Dudes.
As always our focus here is cosplay and of course the cosplay was stellar. Thanks to Mark Meer we get to see some of the fantastic cosplay that was on site for the event. You can find more of Marks great photographs on his Facebook page.
