GUBAT BANWA is a Martial Arts Tactics and War Drama Tabletop RPG created by Joaquin Kyle Saavedra and Dylan Briones.
You play as martial artists poised to change the world: Kadungganan: the cavalry, the wandering swordsmen, the tide turners, the knights-errant, the ones to call in darkest night in a world inspired and centering Southeast Asian folklore.
“Violence for violence’s sake is not the rule of beasts but the nature of divinity.”
You can scarcely imagine it.
A sky of a thousand
thousand worlds.
