Another PAX East with 5,000+ checkouts in the Tabletop Library. As is tradition, our "Top 20", sorted two ways.

Even without bringing a gajillion copies as we've been doing in recent years, Fire Tower from Runaway Parade continues to rule PAX.

Heroes to the last.
See you in Seattle.

Games were played one after another
From boxes stacked up on each other
Pax East was in May?!
But it cannot stay.
We hope that you called your mother

We are here.
Where are you?

Your morning Tabletop agenda:
- Gehenna RPG reg live in PAX Nav app at 8AM
- Registration (in-person) for board game tournaments, Pathfinder/Starfinder, and Alexandria RPG Library events at 10AM, in their respective areas
- Paint & Take queue starts at 10AM (limited edition mini!)

Got questions about what's on tap for PAX East Tabletop? Now's your chance. Ask away.

Paint & Take is back this year, and we've partnered with Trans Atlantis Games to produce an exclusive mini: A very PAX East take on a mimic.

There will be limited quantities (60 per day) of this miniature, so stop by early if you gotta have it.

Stay a while. Click on a game title.

Here are our PAX Unplugged 2024 "Arcadian Brush" Advanced Category winners:

What's a tabletop convention without a painting competition? Here are this year's Arcadian Brush winners, across our four beginner categories:

"Checkouts per copy" shows the games available in smaller quantities, but which refused to stay on the shelf.

When something appears on both lists, you know it was red hot (looking at you, Boop - though Calico and Kabuto Sumo were also the first two games beyond the cutoff here)

Our "Top 20" continues to be dominated by lighter games that can quickly come in/out of the library.

Some publishers are also exceedingly generous in their support - a risky gambit, as we won't hold onto excess copies when they're seeing fewer than 7 checkouts/copy.

The game library at PAX Unplugged was off the charts. 16,854 checkouts, or roughly 444 per hour.

That's ~3k more than last year, itself a record. The additional hour (9AM open) responsible for ~1k at most.
