That said, Across RPGSEA makes no claim of being an authority on the Southeast Asian RPG community, or even the entirety of #RPGSEA. It’s a vast ocean out there — and the final act of exploration rests on you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is #RPGSEA?
#RPGSEA is a hashtag for the Southeast Asian tabletop RPG scene, covering not just locals in the region but also members of the diaspora across the globe.
Like the rich and endless variety of mountains, forests, and islands that dot the region, #RPGSEA embodies the deep diversity of its creators’ perspectives and experiences. Nobody owns the hashtag and nobody rules the space — it’s simply a rallying call for us to connect and for the world to celebrate vibrant Southeast Asian creativity.
How can I support #RPGSEA?
Want to support #RPGSEA? Follow the hashtag on Twitter and share it with the rest of the world! You can also visit this page to view all #RPGSEA designers in this site and their portfolios. Lastly, consider purchasing the games that pique your attention, or at the very least tell a friend about the pearls you’ve discovered.
If you would like to support this site in particular, any help getting the word out is much appreciated 🙂
Do you accept any RPG submission?
There’s no gatekeeping with regard to perceived quality or type of RPG. But I do make a check for any bigoted or abusive content.
Can I submit my game even if I don’t live in Southeast Asia?
Yes! Anyone of Southeast Asian descent or affiliation can submit their game, even if they don’t currently live in Southeast Asia.
If you don’t identify with either of these groups but believe your game is an #RPGSEA creation, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
Who’s maintaining this site?
I’m momatoes, a Filipina game and graphic designer. After the success of the first ever #RPGSEA convention (Session Zero Online, January 2021) I thought it might be nice to have a place where anyone can explore neat games by the community.
This site is a one-person effort so please excuse any bugs or mistakes from time to time. If I’m doing a good job, please let me know — I appreciate every kind word.
