You Are Never Alone:
Reach Out for Support
At Illusion Horror & Con, we believe there is always hope, even in the darkest moments.
Horror TTRPGs are meant to be a fun and immersive hobby, but we understand that certain themes and topics can be difficult for some participants. That’s why we prioritize safety tools and a supportive community to ensure that everyone can enjoy their games.
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to, remember that you are not alone. Below, you’ll find resources offering support for mental health, LGBTQIA+ issues, domestic violence, addiction, pregnancy-related challenges, and more.
