| Short Description | Why do we love being terrified? Join Alan Gerding, Sean McCoy, Caleb Zane Huett, Gina Susanna, Rahrah to dissect the mechanics of tension and terror in game design. |
| Long Description | What separates a mildly spooky session from a truly terrifying table? Our expert panel brings together academic psychology, award-winning indie RPG design, and uncanny actual-play performance to explore how mechanics, sensory inputs, and narrative pacing manipulate the human mind. We will dive into how systems hardwire paranoia into their rulesets, and how GMs and players can translate that dread into unforgettable table dynamics. Whether you are a GM looking to construct a frighteningly fun time, a designer building the next great horror system, or simply a fan of the macabre, you will walk away with practical tools to engineer nightmares. Q&A to follow. |
