Arc Dream Presents: How to Game the Weird,<\/em> a panel discussion on the ins and outs of designing and running a weird horror scenario. Moderator Daniel Harms leads a discussion with panelists Fiona Maeve Geist, Kenneth Hite, Shane Ivey, Badger McInnes, and Sandy Petersen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovecraft\u2019s creations featured in early iterations of role-playing games, and since the emergence of \u201cCall of Cthulhu\u201d and its spinoffs, RPGs have increasingly explored\u2014or exploited\u2014cosmic horror in a Lovecraftian universe. Our experts discuss the ins and outs of designing and running a weird horror scenario. How does one create and maintain suspense when players know the Mythos and the tropes? How do different games systems either lend themselves to, or undermine, an atmosphere of horror?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
