The build-up to PAX Aus 2023 has started to speed up a month out with the announcement of this year’s Storytime Speaker. Renowned actor and voice-over artist Erika Ishii will kick start the convention in the main theatre on Friday 6th October at 12:00 pm AEDT.

Erika Ishii is known for her roles as Valkyrie in Apex Legends, Ana Bray and Kridis in Destiny 2, Lumu in Halo Infinite, Kitsune in Call of Duty: Warzone and Hermes in Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical. She also has appeared in a number of TTRPG shows like Dimension 20 and Critical Role as well as co-creating the narrative-play podcast, Worlds Beyond Number which makes her a great fit for the convention which brings Table Top and Video Game players together.

Speaking of David Gaider, he and Summerfall Studios will be at the show, showcasing Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical and sharing “secrets, stories, music and myths!” Devlover Digital have also confirmed that attendees will get an exclusive ‘first look’ showcase of Plucky Squire.
