Riley from Pactless Patrons is a seasoned PAX conventions attendee and volunteer. They have attended 15 PAXi over the years but have never been to any other conventions. Rich and Dave field questions and dish out advice to let Riley know what they're in for. We cover a lot of topics comparing the two styles of conventions: the scope of Gen Con, the Enforcers at Pax vs Gen Con Staff, and how subtle differences create very different experiences. We also get into Gen Con's event pricing and how the assumptions Gen Con makes are very different than the assumptions PAX makes.
Riley is an excellent guest and a real pleasure to engage with and they share so much knowledge about PAX. I think we all learned a lot from each other. We hope to have them back on after Gen Con to get their thoughts and impressions.

It is also worth noting that plenty of people do not even get event tickets at Gen-Con, knowing that between the Exhibit Hall and Auction/Consignment Store and spontaneous events and people-watching there is no need to plan a specific game.

Wizards of the Coast was still at Gen-Con until I dunno, I think the year 5th Edition came out was the last time they had a real presence.

I have not even listened yet, but as someone who was immediately put off by PAX Unplugged's line-based gaming, I look forward to hearing someone who loves that style explain it.
