Chigg and Crystal recap their GenCon experience. We talk about the panels we hosted, games we played, events we attended, and our thoughts on all of it.
Crystal is joined by special guests Sarah Kennedy, Jason Peercy, Meg Jaffe, and Sean Jaffe as we talk through why horror music is so evocative. We get into some music theory behind it, examples of horror music and composers to follow, and try to make sure the audience understands what we are saying.
Crystal and Chigg are joined by special guests BW Holland and Noxwieller Burf (Westley) to talk about the historic horror genre. We discuss Victorian-era vampires, Cthulhu, and many other historical settings and inspirations. As always, our panels with BW and Nox are always intriguing and engaging.
Crystal and Chigg host a live panel at the illustrious GenCon! We talk about cyber horror and what that looks like with different subgenres. Our audience asked many outstanding questions about the genre, including what we thought it would look like and how we would approach it from a writing and GM standpoint.
Crystal moderates a world-building in Horror panel at Gamehole Con 2024. Special guests include Jess Geyer, Rick Heinz, Jason Keech, and Matthew Orr, all writers in the area of horror. We talk about safety tools, how horror affects our storytelling, and how to approach horror with different types of players.
Chigg, Mike, and Crystal are joined by guest panelists B.W. Holland, Rick Heinz, and Westley (Noxwieler) Berf to talk about the gothic horror genre and why we all love it. We also celebrate B.W. Holland's ENnie win the night before. We discuss different aspects of the genre, games we love that fit into it, and what we do to help enhance gameplay within the genre.
Mike, Crystal, and Chigg discuss Nostalgic Horror at our live panel at GenCon. We discuss how nostalgia is used within the horror genre and how effective it is at pulling audiences into the story. We also talk about different RPGs that use nostalgia as a vessel for storytelling and world-building.
