Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East Vendor and Exhibitor Site List 2011

The PAX East video gaming convention is this weekend and I checked out the exhibitor list for any tabletop game companies in attendance.   My research complete, it occurred to me that many tabletop gamers have an interest in video games as well and might find my research useful. Below you will find the vendors for PAX East 2011 and a brief description of each company. A few companies’ names were so generic I could not find their site, so if you have any information, please drop me a comment.

Update: Sorry, some of the links had issues. I have double-checked the list and everything should be fine now. Let me know if you see any bad links and I will fix them.
