WHAT IS PAX TOGETHER?
PAX Together is PAX's diversity and inclusivity initiative. It celebrates diversity, underrepresented groups, and stigmatized topics, both at PAX and in the gaming community at-large. PAX believes that games should be for everyone and made by anyone. Whether you're here to meet old friends or find new faves, we aim to have something for everybody.
WHERE IS PAX TOGETHER AT PAX?
PAX Together can be found in every part of PAX!
It's in The Intersection, the PAX Together hub, where you can play games in a supportive and safe environment; and, meet organizations that support underrepresented group and stigmatized topics.
It's on the Show Floor at the PAX Together Demo Tables and represented by the various booths chosen to be a part of the PAX Together Picks program.
And lastly, it's in the panels and meetups which bring gamers together to learn, discuss, and have fun!

WHAT IS THE PAX TOGETHER INTERSECTION GAMES LIBRARY?
The PTI Games Library features tabletop, board, and roleplaying games from small and independent BIPOC creators and creators of stigmatized identities. In addition to featuring these games, The PTI Games Library also uplifts attendees from these communities by providing safe space gaming tables with like-minded GMs, or Storytellers.
These games utilize safety tools, promote diverse and respectful tables, and encourage players and Storytellers to come as themselves. PAX recognizes that you can play any game at various locations throughout the show, but offers The Intersection tables with an expectation, not exception, of acceptance. Check out the games being offered in the PTI Games Library!
WHAT ARE PAX TOGETHER DEMO DAYS?
The PAX Together program is proud to announce our first PAX Together Demo Days! The program host new and in development game demos on the Show Floor, and safe space game sessions in the PAX Together Intersection Games Library (PTIGL). The goal of the program is to celebrate and highlight games by BIPOC game creators.
