StokerCon 2018

I aim to be at StokerCon this year, in Providence RI (March 1-4). I’ve got some panels to speak on, as well as a live tabletop Call of Cthulhu game! See you there.

Word Games: Writing Fiction vs. Games (Moderator: Danielle DeLisle)
6:00PM THURSDAY
How do writing fiction and writing games differ? How are they the same? Map out the Venn diagram of game writing with our panelists.

The Doom That Came to Providence: Call of Cthulhu Live RPG (Moderator: Bill Bridges)
10:00 am FRIDAY
Bill Bridges leads a brave group of Stoker Con panelists through a live tabletop RPG game of Call of Cthulhu. Something’s not right in Providence! Can the players solve the mystery before they all go stark-raving mad?

Want to try horror gaming but don’t know where to start? This is the panel for you! Find out what types of games are out there and which ones are best for beginners.
