• The True Limits of Horror (presentation)

    Schedule block

    We're all familiar with various Mythos creatures causing mental mayhem on hapless investigators, but how would that actually work? This talk will explore the utmost extremes of human perception and how the worst entities can affect that. Due to the nature of the subject matter this will cover some dark topics but will be rewarding to horror fans curious about what losing SAN points could happen in real life. Presented by Jess Gulbranson.
