We have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to host a few horror writing seminars and talks.
Adapting A Mystery: Liminal Horror Writing Seminar
Josh Domanski and Goblin Archives did a horror writing seminar on The Weekly Scroll. This was aimed at providing advice on how to adapt a work into an adventure for Liminal Horror. In it’s truest essence, the core tenets presented can be generalized to writing any type of adventure (adaptation or original concepts) into modern horror/Liminal Horror.
- Formats: Podcast, Youtube, Twitch
- Goblin Archives did an annotated guide to accompany the seminar (including time stamps): https://open.substack.com/pub/goblinarchives/p/adapting-a-mystery-advice-for-writers?r=1gvvhi&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Writing & Designing Non-Cthulhu Horror
A seminar given at Virtual Horror Con 2022 by Logan Dean (He/Him), Josh Domanski (He/They), Goblin Archives, Evlyn Moreau (She/Her), Noora (She/Her). This discussion was around how to create systems and adventures that are seek to break free of the shadow of the Cthulhu Mythos. It also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the indie horror scene, from the conception of ideas and their execution through to published projects.
