About the Panel
Game designers often have a unique challenge: storytelling with death as a beat, rather than an end of a character. The average roguelike has more deaths in it than three Hamlets. How do you make your games and narratives "make sense" in this low-key morbid situation? Listen to designers of various kinds of games think through these problems, and mistakes they've made regarding it in the past!
