Oooh that is really nice to hear. 
I will work towards having prints on the shop (though it depends on the fulfilment guys).
TQ!

Hey! Glad to hear you dig that idea!

Oof, this is a bit of a tough one. The project came about from not having enough Southeast Asian fantasy media, but there are a few that I really liked and inspired me for this project. 
Nang Nak (1999) really shows the mood of the jungle, of living beside the river and how dark it can get. Also how spirits can be just so adjacent in SEA.

Wiro Sableng captures quite a bit of the fun and campiness that I sometimes step into, the wuxia-ness of it also feels similar to what I imagine for Kala Mandala.

Both films are easy to find, youtube and dailymotion.

I (and at least another Malaysian friend) also think Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away is relatively SEA coded.  

Hope that helps a little!

Thank you thank you! I am incredibly happy to hear that.
I hope to work with my researcher friends to make a book just about material culture/concepts!

So glad you like the art. Thank you!
I do sell prints but at conventions here in Malaysia/Singapore. I'll check if Plus One Exp (my fulfilment partner) would be up for helping to pack and ship prints in the future (having a breather from the launch of the website now)

Oh ya! Of course! I would love to see you make something inspired by the rice terraces (it doesn't even have to be related to Kala Mandala, would love to see it happen no matter what)

Thank you for running it! So glad you guys had fun (yakuza wasps is hilarious!)
Also really appreciate you letting me know about it. :)

I am in the process of doing that! Shipping the physical copies and setting up the webshop literally right now!

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you for the review! Love the suggestions, will actually rework them in when I revisit it. :)

Hi! Thank you so much! Halo from Malaysia!
I haven't worked on monsters/bestiary other than the ones in my short adventures. Though I've heavily referenced/followed whatever is provided by Cairn, so those stats should work well! 

Hello fellow SEAian! :D So glad you think the vibe works! 
And yes! Please print it out, that would be so so cool. The files should be hi-res enough for a decent print.
Please let me know feedback or if you ever have photos or share anything of your session. 
Thank you!

I kind of that podcast of the history of japanese TTRPGs about the pig-headed orcs. And also how kobolds are basically dog faced!
Though this project is centre-ing on Southeast Asia rather than East Asia. :)

Haha! Soon!

hah thank you! :) 
I'd love to see that drawing.

Thank you for your kind words! Let me know how it goes if you do, and how to make it better. :)

That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing. :)

Oh! So exciting to hear that you would hack this for your own games, cos it's how I started this with Cairn/Mausritter too. (don't get pressured into making it "something public" but if you ever do, please let me know!)

I have physical books for Malaysia/Singapore cons, but will deal with logistics to ship this to the Americas after I'm done with my next adventure (or two).

That is so awesome to hear. I'm not a great GM so to hear that it is accessible to beginners is really nice. Thanks!

haha. YES!!

Thank you for the lovely review! 

HAH YOU PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT(NOT SMALL) PART IN IT! But thank you thank you. Deeply appreciate your thoughts and support right from the start. :)

Thank you! So glad you like the additions. :)

I never thought of that! Let me think about how I can get that done. (Though I think if you can pull images from the PDF, they should be pretty high res?)

hahaha

Yes! Thank you! So glad you like it. I've got a Trello of stuff I want to do with the Rulebook/World. Maybe I'll tidy it up and put it public as kind of roadmap. We'll see. :)

Thank you! ❤️

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for your kind words! :)

haha thanks! I will I will, just need a bit more time!

Thank you! Glad you like it! :

Yay!!! ❤️

Thanks Tony! ❤️

❤️❤️

❤️❤️

Thank you! Really hope you do find useful stuff and mess with it! :)

Thank you so much!

Yess. I hope it smells tasty!

Thanks Aaron! If folks with little understanding of SEA culture can vibe with it, that is like... oooof... dream outcome. :D So fingers all crossed for that!

These are not TTRPG books and also not fictional(in a way) but are completely fascinating books on Malay supernatural, written by British administrators decades ago. They are a fascinating read.

Malay Magic: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/47873

Malay Poisons, charm cures: https://archive.org/details/Malaypoisonscha00Giml

There are also quite a few contemporary Filipino books on their monsters!

I'm glad you dig it! Solo is something I want to explore. (The appeal of playing with going near my social anxieties is very exciting)
But I haven't read too much of solo games yet to have found what feels right for me.

I am so stoked you dig this! ❤️❤️
