Role-playing at PAX Aus 2019
Once again, we have a huge team of volunteer GMs coming to PAX Aus to offer you a wide variety of RPG events!
Everything you need is provided, so whether you're an old hand at role-playing, or are interested in trying out something new, our GMs are ready for you to turn up and play. Events begin each day, from 11 am, but places are limited, so it's best to be on time - or even a little early!
How to Join a Game
Pathfinder & Starfinder Societies, D&D Adventurers League & Tal'dorei, Call of Cthulhu & RuneQuest - these games manage their own signups - please see the game coordinators at the RPG HQ tables
The Cornucopia of RPGs (including Fragged, Green Ronin, and Relics) will make use of numbered tickets to act as a "virtual queue", providing an improved chance of getting a seat at your favourite event. Tickets are available from the RPGs Enforcer, are valid for that day only, and are limited to one per person to provide opportunities for more people. When the GM of the event is ready to accept players, ticket holders will receive priority placement at the table, in numerical order, with any remaining seats open to other interested parties. Should there be more potential players than seats, individual GMs will use whichever random method they prefer to determine who gets to play - probably involving dice, since we're tabletop games!
Note: Tickets are not required to participate in a game, nor do they guarantee you a seat at the table, they simply improve your chances.
Keep an eye on this post, as some events are still being finalised, and times are subject to change.
Want to know more? Ask questions below, or come find us at PAX Aus.
