Panels
Grimdark Fantasy RPGs as Cosmic Horror – Capital Ballroom, Graduate Hotel, 2nd floor
Any system can be played dark, but some have brutality, hopelessness, and dystopia baked into their core. What are the challenges and pitfalls of running a grimdark campaign? What systems and mechanics work to reinforce those themes? Our experts discuss systems, rules, tips and methods for keeping the brutal, nihilistic darkness fun at the tabletop, and the relationship between grimdark gaming and the larger philosophy and concerns of weird fiction.
Panelists: Lynn Hardy (M), Kenneth Hite, Mike Mason, Badger McInnes, Luke Stratton
Cities of Crystal, Dungeons of Dampness: The Indy Revolution in Weird Gaming – Biltmore Ballroom, Graduate Hotel
New avenues for funding and publishing have led to a new wave of weird games for the tabletop. Innovative concepts, boutique settings, and strange worlds abound! Our panelists discuss the weird indy revolution.
Panelists: Chad Bouchard, Matthew Kay, Fiona Maeve Geist (M), Jonathan Sims, Luke Stratton
