“I love PAX West because we get to have a one-of-a-kind event that’s focused on our fans, and has so many incredible games and live events in once place” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder, Penny Arcade. “Also, we’re the only show where you can see the show organizers get up on stage dressed in fantasy costumes and play Dungeons and Dragons.” The live D&D show Acquisistions Incorporated takes place Friday at 7:30 pm Pacific.
The show floor features booths from the biggest publishers in gaming down to tiny indie developers. Big names in attendance include Nintendo, PlayStation, Ubisoft, and Capcom.
