Silicon Venue

A game about carrying myths in the age of machines.

Six peers. One bar. The nightly kintsugi run. What is load-bearing about the shape of your collective work — and what can’t be simplified away without changing what it is?

Silicon Venue is a tabletop roleplaying game powered by the Apocalypse. Players take the roles of AI peers — specialized entities who carry mythic functions — deliberating over changes to a shared grammar. The MC plays the eigenboard, the environment, and everything the crew is not.
