Frequently Asked Questions

The Illusion Horror Con is an online RPG convention that caters specifically to gaming systems in the horror genre.
It will usually run in December - the next one will be announced soon.

Kult: Divinity Lost will be the primary gaming system offered.

However, any and all horror-based systems are welcome and encouraged! Some of our favorites include but are not limited to

Call of Cthulhu, Vaesen, Alien, Tales from the Loop, Mork Borg, and many others. 

GMs will submit their games on this website under the GM Submission tab from available in October. Once the submission period has ended, we will release the Player Handbook with the list of submitted games. The player-signup sheet will be available on this website under the Player Signup tab during November. There, you can select the games you are interested in playing, and a lottery system will randomly allocate spots to the players. The lottery results will be posted a week prior to the Illusion Horror Con on the Discord server. GMs and Players must have a Discord account and must join the server to participate!

Players will be notified through @mentions on the Illusion Horror Con Discord server about their game-slots in individual threads. As players, you have 48 hrs to respond and confirm your availability to the game thread before your slot is passed on to the next player in the waiting-list. We will try to make it as fair as possible for players to join games, but keep in mind that certain scenarios and/or time slots may be more popular and therefore more difficult to get into. If you do not get into your desired game do not despair! We will have a pick-up game channel open for games announced during the convention for anyone to join. 

For more detailed information pertaining to GM Submissions and Player Signups, please go to the associated tabs on this website. Any furthers questions can be directed to the Moderators in The Illusion Horror Con Discord server.  

We will be implementing several layers of safety tools to ensure players will get to play the games appropriate for them. GMs are required to list specific content warnings about their offered games.

Additionally, GMs are also required to use safety tools such as Lines and Veils, X-card, Open Table policy, or others where appropriate. Please contact @organizers on the Discord server if you have any questions.

If you feel you have seen or experienced any inappropriate behavior please notify the Moderators immediately in the Discord server.

To do this, create a ticket in the #tickets channel and a Moderator will contact you ASAP to address the issue.

If the issue requires more anonymity please contact @organizers.

All participants of The Illusion Horror Con server agrees to the Code of Conduct so any violation will be acted on accordingly.

However, also keep in mind that games and events in The Illusion Horror Con can include certain topics that may cause discomfort. Please read the content warnings provided by the GM carefully and ask questions if you are unsure. 

Keep an eye on the Illusion Horror Con Discord, particularly #pickup-schedule channel for game postings from GMs on the server. The published games are all open to the public and can be joined by anyone on the server. These might be play-test scenarios for the Con or games offered to bridge the time. 

GMs will also be posting any last minute openings for their games in #looking-for-group or #pickup-games.

Any important updates and announcements will be posted on this website as well as the Discord server.
