I ran in to a situation today where I was meticulously editing a blueprint, and my buddy paused the game because he was going AFK. I can't get to the escape menu or the console to unpause the game - there's not even a slash command (as far as I can tell) in the dedicated server console to unpause it.

I'm stuck like this until someone else connects and unpauses the game I guess?

Try hitting your keybind key for Pause, which in this case, should be the Pause/break key on the key board. I have confirmed that you can't bring up the menu while editing a blueprint while the game is paused, however, if you are allowed to pause/unpause the game, then hitting the pause keyboard key should unpause the game. Note that your attempt to bring up the menu will have canceled you out of the blueprint editor the moment the game is unpaused.
