PAX Together

PAX Together is a program which 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.

PAX Together Picks is a curated selection which ais recognized by PAX for celebrating and centering marginalized groups and stigmatized topics. A PAX Together Pick uplifts those of underrepresented backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences within gaming.

Look for content with the PAX Together logo to indicate that it's a PAX Together Pick!

If you've got a game that you think fits what we're looking for and could be featured as a PAX Together Pick, we'd love to hear all about it! 

The Diversity Lounge has leveled up and is now The PAX Together Intersection (Rm 440)!!! The Intersection is the hub for the various branches of PAX’s diversity initiative, PAX Together. The PAX Together Intersection aims to be a reflection of the intersectional identities of gamers. This includes a variety of nonprofits and community groups focused on elevating underrepresented groups’ experiences and addressing stigmas in gaming culture. It is a safe and supportive space for anyone who wants to find community and commonality with other people who play games.

Come visit the PTI Exhibitors in Room 440!

The PTI Game Library features tabletop board and roleplaying games from small and independent BIPOC creators and creators of stigmatized identities.
