PAX At the Table

We will be facilitating over 44 different systems many of them independent and Aussie alongside well known favourites.

We recommend signing up for games you want to play at the start of the day so you don’t miss out.

ARC Mentor Program Showcase

An opportuning for folks curious about becoming a game designer in the Australian interactive games industry to meet the mentees and play their games in development from the ARC TTRPG Mentor Program for 2025.

The Showcase provides an opportunity to experience work by three new and diverse games developers in the making who are showcasing their games in development bubbling up out of the ARC TTRPG Mentor Program for 2025.

Games run over the 3 days of PAX AUS as a part of PAX Aus at the Table on the exhibition floor. Play, enjoy and then feed back into their creative journey and perhaps meet the next big thing in the Australian game creation industry.
