Convention season just keeps rolling along...and we're rollin' with it!

City of Heroes® is thrilled to be representing at the Penny Arcade Expo again this year in Seattle, Washington. PAX 2009, a three-day game festival featuring tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers will be taking place September 4-6th at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center. CoH will be there in style, so if you're going to the event, we want to see you!

Come by Booth #542 and pay us a visit. Once again, you'll be able to meet in person members of the City of Heroes Development and Online Community Relations teams. Our Design Team, represented by Matt "Positron" Miller, Joe "Hero 1" Morrissey and Bruce "Horatio" Harlick will be available in full force to discuss with you and answer questions about the Mission Architect System and the upcoming Issue 16: Power Spectrum content update. If you haven't tried Powers Customization out for yourself yet, you're definitely going to want to grab a mouse and keyboard at the booth and give it a whirl!

Also making a re-appearance will be the lovely Ms. Liberty, who will be available and ready to pose for your picture-taking pleasure. She wants YOU to come take a photo with her!


After you take your picture, make sure to get a blinking "Awesome" button and a PAX exclusive "Carnival of Shadows Ring Mistress" Costume Power Code! (One per person only and you MUST be a current active subscriber).



The fun activities don't end there! On Saturday, September 5th we're throwing a great panel discussion on Mission Architect and joining us will be Joel Heyman from Rooster Teeth and Scott Kurtz of PVP Online fame, so don't forget to attend and show your support. Here are the details:

Saturday, Sept. 5th, 2:30pm - 3:30pm Raven Theatre

Mission Architect: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Story

City of Heroes Mission Architect lets users generate their own content. It launched in April and over 250,000 stories have been created by players. The Paragon Studios developers are back to share their experiences with you, thePAXers! What went well? What problems arose? How has this affected the way customers play City of Heroes? We'll look at the good, the bad, the ugly, and the future of City of Heroes Mission Architect.

Panelists:
  • Joe "Hero 1" Morrissey (Senior Game Designer)
  • C.W. "pohsyb" Bennett (Senior Engineer)
  • Ross Borden (Global Marketing Director)
  • Joel Heyman (Rooster Teeth™)
  • Scott Kurtz (PVP Online™)

The panel isn't the only thing you're NOT going to want to miss...
