A 16-year veteran of the video game and roleplaying game industries, Seraphina Brennan got her start as an independent Alternate Reality Game "Puppet Mistress" while she finished her Bachelors of Science in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh. Making an Alternate Reality Game with a team was a known challenge, but Seraphina made and completed 2 games prior to graduation.

Since then, her writing, community management, project management, and experience design has supported major video games such as EVE Online, Batman: Arkham City, The Lord of The Rings Online, F.E.A.R. Online, ArcheAge, Trove, Rift, Defiance, Devilian, the Traveller RPG system, and more. While she started in the video game industry, her work has since expanded beyond "just games" into international marketing, restricted market expertise, and future forecasting.

​

Seraphina was last the lead producer at Threshold Games where she worked with a team of gaming industry veterans and newcomers on an unannounced solarpunk 4x strategy game for the PC. She believes strongly in the power of games and imaginative storytelling to teach new perspectives, learn new skills, and engage with difficult topics in healthy ways.

​

When not working she can be found as a guest Game Master with Geek Therapeutics where she's run sessions on game design, world building, and improvisational acting for therapists and professionals worldwide. If you want to learn more, check out this article from Wired!
