"The history of horror media is as rich with stories of despair as it is with stories of hope. But those stories have often victimized and vilified queer and marginalized identities. Join us for a panel about reclaiming narrative control through TTRPGS, as we discuss how horror tropes and histories can become tools for empowerment!"
