New comment on GeekList PAX Unplugged 2026 - RPG Freeplay: Community Game Scheduler
Posted: Sat, 26 Sep 12:17:11
If you are concerned about missing out on something that later gets posted on the main PAX schedule, I would hold off on signing up for games here. The main PAX schedule should be posted soon, though events will continue to be added as PAX approaches (typically: gaming events posted first - approx 2 months prior, then panels poasted soon later, then special Main Theater stage announcements close to PAX).
As more gets announced, you can come back here and make an informed decision. If playing in one of these RPG is the most important thing for you at PAX, above all else, you can sign up now.

The Terminator RPG - not really because of the franchise, but that it is entirely limited to the IP of the first movie.

Sir Justin beckons over an grey-robed elf and asks her to show Taliesin, and anyone else who wishes to join him, the supplies found in the tower's cellars.
The elf bows her head to Sir Justin and leads you down one of two staircases that descend from the central area of the tower. The air becomes noticeably cooler as you walk down the stairs and follow a short stone passageway that opens into a square cellar-room. You find exactly what Sir Justin described - neatly stacked boxes of foodstuffs, alongside crates of swords, daggers, axes and suits of leather and chainmail armour. Most of the crates have been opened and some of the contents have already beem removed by Sir Justin's forces, for their own use or to distribute to adventuers that have heeded his call to travel to Iniarv's Tower.
The items Taliesin is particularly interested in stand separate from the more mundane supplies. They are in thick, wooden unmarked crates stuffed with straw to protect the contents. Searching through them, Taliesin discovers a variety of vials, retorts, beakers, alembics and funnels, along with lengths of glass tubing of various diameters. There is nothing obvious to indicate precisely what they are intended to be used for, but are the sort of things that would be found in an alchemical laboratory, apothecary or potion maker's workshop.
Froodle wanders the camp to try to find any fellow students of the Arcane. Most of Sir Justin's followers tend to be clerics or paladins devoted to Savras, or simple fighting men, though there a couple who are particularly interested in the written word and the art of creating magical scrolls. A couple of low-level wizards can also be found amongst the groups of adventurers gathered at the Tower, who are also happy to discuss the magical arts with the gnome.
To avoid giving spells out like confetti, I will say that Froodle can pick four level 1 or 2 spells (in total) that he is interested in and roll to see if he can locate someone willing to share them with him. If the spell is a Divination spell or on the Paladin or Cleric spell list there is a higher chance it will be available.
The chances of availability for Level 1 spells are 50% if a Divination spell and/or on the Paladin/Cleric list, 25% if not.
The chances of availability for Level 2 spells is 35% if a Divination spell and/or on the Paladin/Cleric list, 15% if not.
If it's available the process of buying it or copying it from another will be 50 gold pieces per spell level.
If and when you return to the Tower, following a trip into the Mere, there may be an opportunity to roll these again, or Sir Justin may even 'pull a few strings' to obtain scrolls or other magic items for you, if he is particularly impressed by your work 😜

The paladin smiles, "Oh, and if you will take on this mission for me, do speak to our Quartermaster, Forvi, before you go. You can't miss him, he's the dwarf with the red beard and eyepatch at the green tent just outside the tower. Everyone we send out into the Mere gets some potions and rings that may be helpful, though an experienced group such as yours may have more powerful magic at your disposal already!"Sir Justin beckons over an grey-robed elf and asks her to show Taliesin, and anyone else who wishes to join him, the supplies found in the tower's cellars.

Hi there,
first contact with RPG were some books with small solo adventures. Then of course Das Schwarze Auge. Then a short interlude with Midgard and then EVERYTHING else 😉everthing from Traveller to Vampire and lots of D&D, Palladium and Plüsch, Power und Plunder. It culminated somehow in Living Greyhawk. Right now I am part of a D&D 5e group adventuring the area around Greyhawk.
Ciao
