A total success, despite the heat outside! Thank you so much to organisers @aylinwalder.bsky.social and @maethorath.bsky.social and the #Inklings for this weekend!

I also got to chair a fantastic (pun intended) panel on animal horror with really cool papers and people and leave it with so many great recommendations of films and games to explore - and of course there were so many fabulous other papers to listen to.

This past weekend, I had the honour to join the #Inklings for their Symposium on „Enmonsterisations in the Fantastic“ in Braunschweig to present my paper on #BaldursGate3 and The Dark Urge. 💜

Title Slide of a PowerPoint. In the background: a black and white concept drawing of the Dark Urge from Baldur‘s Gate 3 holding a knife in one hand, red splatters across the image. At the bottom is a red box with the title of the paper: „Reflect on your Misbehaviour - Enmonstered Character, Complicit Player: Dark Urge Playthroughs of Baldur‘s Gate 3“
