Tuan Hakim, Martyr Iconic standing before his foes with his bloodied panabas on the ground. Conviction Art By Paul Vasquez
Conviction's toll is paid in blood and tears, and we were not found wanting. See you all again soon, Kadungganan.

If you interested in my #RPGSEA tabletop adventure game, Dimawari, then here's a tease. I also talk about why I removed initiative rolls in it.
Originally wanted to release playtest in January but instead chose to blog and tease the details first.

Revealing this year's #ZineMonth ZineMoth tomorrow!
This year marks the 1st Moth made by a designer other than @feralcharlie.bsky.social or @alexcoggon.bsky.social!
Manila-based tattoo artist Robyn Victa created this year's mascot bringing some #RPGSEA & Pinoy sensibility to it

I hadn't looked before today but I am also interested if #RPGSEA has any proponents in/from Vietnam! Search has yielded nothing for me so far
I may not be anything like the other design giants that have come up from #RPGSEA. I may never be anything like them, too. I don't imagine I'd ever make anything as big as Dagger Isles, Gubat Banwa or Balikbayan or ARC, but I'm making something over here, and maybe that's enough.
but somehow, seeing #RPGSEA get featured in such a massive video like this makes me think that well, cool. look. there's your ripple. It isn't just mine, it's myself and everyone else's that also is part of RPGSEA. We've made waves. We continue to do so.
eeyyy #RPGSEA mention *waves our little flag*
I spent most of my very early morning (like.... 6-7am?) watching this and it has been a nice little reminder of the space that I've been trying so hard to flirt with for a long time. Thank you so much, Aaron. This was such a delightful thing to watch.
Two covers for a double-sided zine, one is “Exploring AcrossRPGSEA 2025 - A Brief Guide to South East Asian TTRPGs” and the other is “An Introduction to Playing TTRPGs and Storygames in General and Specifically in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur by one Aaron Lim”.
Final zine of the year! I made these mini-catalogue/zines to give out this weekend at Comic Fiesta! If you want to learn more about #RPGSEA TTRPGs and storygames, or just how and where to play them in PJ and KL, come by and ask for one!
For our fourth game day (and last of the year), we focused on games from #RPGSEA. We had three tables:
Gubat Banwa gubat-banwa.itch.io
A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy mister-erwin.itch.io/a-goons-guid...
Reach of the Roach God (sadly no longer available), using OSE - which I joined as a player

If this is the sort story you want to experience (or perhaps even tell yourself), then please, join me. Let's explore the Rotting Isles of the Bones of BATALA together.

I originally developed "On the Bones of BATALA" for the FÖLK-LORE Game Jam back in 2021 (it was then called "On the Bones of Bathala" before I learned Bathala was possibly a Spanish misspelling).

Ahoy! The developers of Gubat Banwa are going to table at the Cebu Art Book Fair! Catch them there on Sept. 6-7. See you there!

Peerless elementalists, they who embody the tempest, the inferno, and the thunderstorm. The BUSALIAN are potent sorcerers who channel their Kinaadman, their own internal power, to wield the elements against those who would disrupt the balance of the World.

I am best known for When Glamour Dies (now updated for its 5th anniversary) and Another Paradise (to be updated soon!), with the latter being present in the Our Shores Zine for #RPGSEA.

By their will alone, by the providence of no god save for that god called I, the BARIL WITCH is a master of harnessing atrocity, delivering salvation from the end of a gun screaming with shackled little-gods.

They are masters of the tides, reavers of unparalleled ferocity, speed like the thunderbolt. With blades in hand, they seek to raid the known world, so that they may etch their place in the Glorysong. Behold, the MANGANGAYAW for Gubat Banwa, First Edition.

At a recent symposium, I was asked how it feels to be a living archive of memory and stories - I simultaneously positioned myself this way for #RPGSEA when the movement started, and was also *made* to be that way because Americans just could not wrap their heads around the idea that...
