Hoy Kadungganan! Here's an event calendar for the upcoming local events that Sword Isles Studios is going to attend. See you there! :) #ArtPH #Art #TTRPG #RPGSEA #indiettrpg

I figure people aren't really discussing this more because we have barely got any information about it and some aren't even sure it's real- but like, the US arbitrarily bombed a random boat it found, and won't disclose why they actually did it, hoping we all believe they were criminals #political

Hoy Kadungganan! The August Update for the Kickstarter is up, and it's the longest one yet, outlining the game's current state of development and the team's ambitions in detail. Read it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/863...

Rare official update post on this account, but I needed to work with the character limit. Thank you all again so much www.canva.com/design/DAGv1...

This the shit that makes me look insane in public on account of my fucked up dayjob-education-gamedev trifecta means I need to do the gamedev part on-the-go

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy. This seems kinda significant.

The problem with doing game design on the go is that sometimes my drafts make me look like an insane person. Anyway- not that anyone was looking for me, but I've been juggling a few dozen things all this time and it's only getting busier, so prepare to continue seeing very little of me I guess.

fascist pigs should be scared fucking shitless every waking moment of their worthless lives that at any moment millions of people could finally decide to grasp collective action and smother every authoritarian ember. we should make their nightmares real.

About to head off to another 20+ hour travel day, so while I’m in the air please get my Kickstarter funded ok thanks ;) - 2 games! Die together or cook alone! Cards that tell foretell a doom or a mood! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehr...

It is a rare privilege for a group such as ours to be invited to this momentous gathering, and the team is as committed as it has ever been to engage with those for whom we create. Help us make it happen!

Sword Isles Studios is the first TTRPG creator group to ever be invited to this event. This sale aims to help us raise funds for the team’s travel expenses. The QS+ includes: - Rules+campaign lite! - An adventure! - Maps! - Tokens! - Music! #ArtPH #Art #TTRPG #RPGSEA #indiettrpg

I'd like to remind y'all that Gubat Banwa was developed by an entire team, not one person. Sword Isle Studios - the creators now in charge of the project - are working hard to finish the game. GB is also incredibly important to local communities back in the Philippines. Support them if you can.

✨Good morning BlueSky✨ Gonna be working on comms and TTRPG dev today~ (I am at my day job where neither of these are appropriate)

The sale continues! So many things have happened in between my making this sale and today. Both the cats got sick, I'm sick, I've gotten a concerning diagnosis and now I'm making the decision to move back to my home town so that I can get the healthcare and support I need. itch.io/s/148214/buy...

When institutions decided to allow trans athletes to compete, it wasn't runaway wokeness, they were convinced by the evidence on hand that it was a reasonable thing to do. When they revoked it, they didn't cite evidence, they cited that people didn't like it.

Please give us lots of money for the Kickstarter so that @4threset.bsky.social can go super saiyan on the stickers, he’s been looking into other sticker tech while we’re funding, we could do some cool shit if we had the funds ;)

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

That's what we like to fuckin' see (my algorithm is irreparably skewed)

Ahoy! The team at Sword Isles Studios is looking for Actual Play Performers (podcasts, streams, etc.) to try the latest release of Gubat Banwa! If you're interested, hit us up here over on DM's or send us an email over at [email protected] #TTRPG #RPGSEA #ArtPH #IndieTTRPG

Protip: Just start adding a bunch of SEAsian blacksmiths on Facebook so your feed is full of this, instead of ambabangil ya pansesebegan ng mga boomer at chikiting in your area

repost this if anti-trans people are not welcome and unsafe with you

Was going through a rough spell of bad mental weather and creative block these past few weeks but I think the fog's clearing up a bit. Drew my #Avowed Envoy to get the gears spinnin' again

other populations that are roughly 1% or under: british people. jewish people. ukrainians. people with schizophrenia. also bipolar. and epilepsy. people living with HIV. people with red hair. people diagnosed with brain cancer. people who own horses. i could go on, but do i need to

POV you are on the GB Team and you are never beating the "fucking nerd" allegations

who else researches for their WIP like Gandalf researching the One Ring

Now that the Kickstarter is live, I can officially reveal the stretch goals! For the physical pledge for What Should We Have Tomorrow? I'm working with @4threset.bsky.social to make a reusable vinyl sticker set for players to design your own kitchens! Check it out!

You'll never slice yourself into a small enough shape for them to love you. Aim the blade outward.

In this house we take every opportunity to share baby knife dugong.

QTP with powerful women 🌊

This administration is unsubtly trying to subvert history (again) today, so I wanted to be clear on what we're about in my space: - Fuck the Marcoses - Fuck Elon Musk - Save our seas (+ it's called the West Philippine Sea) 🌊 - Eat the rich ✨ - Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️ - Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Also have a cat pic 😇

feedback is for specific things. did this part feel good. if not why not. then we will tweak. but you don't let the player decide what's going into your game!! they have no context and no understanding, it is genuinely bonkers that players feel so catered to that they think they can dictate design

the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite

Local highschool had this gallery of student works and they had posters on the effects of colonialism on our neighbors in SEA Literal highschoolers are examining imperialism more closely than some grownass chuds out here who love posting "takes" online Anyway have this totes unrelated meme I found

Google Docs babygirl u are so silly why are you italicizing my emojis

Oh that's how you folks keep finding me!! I thought y'all just took my lack of posting as some kinda sexy brooding silence and decided to hit Follow Anyway hello #RPGSEA! I do TTRPG writing sometimes

The Isles may fall under five major factions but that hardly paints a full picture. Within each mandala are homelands that a kadungganan can hail from, which you can read about here for FREE! gubat-banwa.itch.io/gubat-banwa-... #ArtPH #Art #TTRPG #RPGSEA #indiettrpg
