In an extra-spooky patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge episode, we sit down to discuss horror: What is it, at its roots? What media handles it well? And how can you incorporate it into RPGs without making your players overwhelmingly despondent? Tune in for talk of tension and foreshadowing, violence and gore, subversion and perversion, fragility and powerlessness, and all that good spooky stuff!
