![In the Minds of Monsters and Men: The Psychology of The Witcher Series - PAX East 2024
In a world where men are monsters and monsters are men - who is the real monster? Covering the books, the best-selling video game series, and the popular Netflix show, this panel will dig deep into the psychology of the characters and stories of The Witcher franchise.
