still recovering from the event yesterday but thank you to all who attended!
big shoutout to our RPGSEA homie @goobernuts.itch.io for flying all the way to our island to be in the panel with us!

I was invited to Cebu by @playgubatbanwa.bsky.social folk to speak on Mangayaw. It was my first time outside of Luzon, and the farthest I have been away from home. Yet I felt welcome at every juncture of my whirlwind of a 2 day adventure in Cebu.

Peerless elementalists, they who embody the tempest, the inferno, and the thunderstorm. The BUSALIAN are potent sorcerers who channel their Kinaadman, their own internal power, to wield the elements against those who would disrupt the balance of the World.

"So a few months ago, the dev team at Sword Isles Studios were invited to speak at a creative and art scene event in Malaybalay, Bukidnon during Kaamulan Festival. We put Gubat Banwa's Quickstart+ on sale to raise funds, and were fortunate enough to meet our goals. I wanted to do a little something as a thank you to the community for the trust and support we’ve been given, and wrote a little travelogue detailing our trip. We hope you all enjoy this little token of thanks. With Gratitude and Violence Until Glory, Dyl, Sword Isles Studios Project Lead"
Rare official update post on this account, but I needed to work with the character limit. Thank you all again so much
