@seraphimseraphina.bsky.social started blogging on itch and the first one is a doozy, y'all. What if we stopped asking if a game supports this or that fiction or experience, and started figuring out what roles games can play within the way we play in the first place?

2026 is the year I (finally) get Speed Daemons out in the world.
It’s a game of illegal mech racing in a crumbling domed city on an alien world. Races are arguments and victories are currency; PCs race to release pressure and change the world.
It’s the Matrix meets Fast & the Furious with mechs!
