Representation in fantasy hits different.

Twisted Spire @twistedspiregames.bsky.social · Jun 29

The care shows. Thoughtful research, aesthetic sensitivity, and designs that draw from cultural reference without caricature. Powerful women. Mythic beasts. Armour that could’ve come from a history book or a dream.

Twisted Spire @twistedspiregames.bsky.social · Jun 29

Grand Cathay is a fantasy army inspired by Chinese dynasties… dragons, terracotta sentinels, storm magic, celestial rulers.
It’s not perfect. But it’s one of the first times I’ve seen something in mainstream fantasy that feels this close to home.

Twisted Spire @twistedspiregames.bsky.social · Jun 29

When I was a kid, I used to run around with a plastic sword, imagining myself into fantasy worlds that never quite saw me.
This week, I saw Grand Cathay in person at Warhammer World. And I felt… seen.
