We spent three days in Philly at Pax Unplugged. We suffered behind SEPTA buses that blocked intersections, had some pizza stolen, and were verbally accosted by someone claiming to be the Son of God.

But the rest was fun and games.

We got to hang out with our friends at Nomnivore Games, reconnect with Mage Hand Press and Flagbearer Games, see Potion Slingers' new video game demo, and meet a bunch of new people.

Josh is using up the last of his Goblins and Growlers sick time for 2024, so Inver and I walked through the ins and outs of this year's Pax Unplugged with some observations about how it was different from last year and what that might mean for the industry overall.

Be sure to check out the Patreon-exlusive Deep Dives on this episode where we dig into some of the economic and business conditions that could affect the industry in 2025.

And, no, despite my best efforts, I could not find Xavier Woods anywhere this year. He must have known I was looking. But I did get to once again trade Dusty Rhodes impressions with streamer Captain Robear and this seems to be solidifying as the cornerstone of our relationship.
