Wands, Phasers, and Death Rays, Oh My! 


Friday, February 14, 2025
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

The tools used to kill people in stories include all kinds of cool technology and magical implements.  They're fun to read about, or to watch being used, but wouldn't be so great to face down in person.  Which ones are based in reality and which are just plain fun? No blasters at the discussion, please. 



Panelists:

Jonathan Laforce

T. Pennella

J. Van Stry
