Vampires in Space (A D&D Workshop)
Evan FleischerDescription: Step aboard Barovia Station 5000 in this sci-fi retelling of the Curse of Strahd, a darkly comic Dungeons & Dragons one-shot where villains constantly stress that 'this isn’t its final form,' and every laugh brings the vampire in orbit a little closer. This session doubles as a mini writing workshop, filled with generative prompts that take both the writer and the player deeper into the heart of the nebula. No experience necessary. All are welcome.

Drawing inspiration from contemporary as well as classic authors, we’ll write strange tales and terrifying worlds that defy logic and linger long after the last page. No experience necessary.
