Dark Designs: Let's Make a Horror Game!
Sunday June 7, 2026 11:00am - 11:50am EDT
Our panelists will design a game on the spot — using prompts and ideas from the audience. The brilliant and creative members of the audience (that’s _you_ — we’re all writers and artists here, right?) will throw out all manner of scary ideas for the panelists to mold into a  horror game. Is it a video game? A one-page tabletop RPG? A board game? That’s up to our roundtable of panelists and audience members to decide. Is it about a haunting? An unkillable slasher? A horde of zombies? We’ll decide as we go! By the end of the panel, we’ll have the working concept of a game that everybody will want to one-day play.
