A THOUSAND THOUSAND ISLANDS is a series of fantasy settings, designed for use with tabletop RPGs, inspired by the material cultures, lived stories, and mythistories of Southeast Asia.


MR-KR-GR, a river kingdom ruled by crocodiles, built on the bones of a previous world;
KRACHING, a valley where all felines are scared, and most timber haunted;
HANTU!, a collection of short essays and prose about the fearsome Malaysian hantu; and
DRAWINGS PART ONE, an art zine filled with character art and inspiration tableaux

are available for the first time in PDF format, alongside two brand new zines:

UPPER HELENG, a time-warped forest, where the seasons roam as animal gods; and
ANDJANG, a mountain kingdom where crops never fail, farmers are thin, and royals smile with fanged teeth.


Ongoing since 2017, A THOUSAND THOUSAND ISLANDS zines sketch worlds through detailed, meticulously-researched black-and-white line art (by visual artist Mun Kao), and evocative prose plus system-neutral hooks, NPCs, and random tables (by writer Zedeck Siew) -- accelerants to set the imaginations of GMs and players afire.
