Welcome, Katauhan, to the Rotting Isles. #bonesofbatala #RPGSEA

Coming soon. #bonesofbatala #RPGSEA

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).

Hi! I'm Ar-Em, an illustrator + writer born and raised in the 🇵🇭. Currently studying my master's in Aotearoa and working on a horror TTRPG called #bonesofbatala which is inspired by precolonial Tagalog culture, history and folklore

"Who are you, you ask? You descend from survivors of the Arrival, your very existence a defiance against the realm that seeks to destroy you. You are the Katauhan." #bonesofbatala #RPGSEA

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.

If things go well for my master's, I'll post #bonesofbatala sometime late July.

I'm also a published children's book author-illustrator! Currently putting my book illustration services on pause to prioritize #bonesofbatala and my Tagalog research. I'm also looking for fellow researchers I can trauma bond with re: colonial / historical trauma ;-;
