Today is #CreatorDay @itchio! Today they are waiving their fee & giving all profits to creators! Here's are all of the #TTRPG zines I've published at danielhkwan.itch.io related to my Chronicles of Spring & Autumn project - a campaign setting inspired by Warring States China!
"Denizens of Mountains & Seas" volumes 1 and 2 are collections of Chinese monsters and cultural touchpoints on how to incorporate them into your #DnD (or any TTRPG) sessions!

"Blades of the Lunar Kingdom" is a short zine containing legendary magical swords and historical notes!
All of my Chronicles of Spring & Autumn zines are being adopted into a larger volume that will tie them all together into a fantasy campaign setting set in the Kingdom of Yue!

I've been developing it with the support of my amazing Patrons @ patreon.com/danielhkwan
I'm also simultaneously working on standalone games set in my Bureau of Paranatural Survey universe. The first game - "Wicked Congregation" - is a Wretched & Alone hack inspired by Control, Resident Evil, and the BPRD!
Patrons already have draft access to "Wicked Congregation" and it'll soon be on my storefront @ danielhkwan.itch.io! All of this is possible because of the support provided by my amazing patrons!

There is a lot of potential lost in the overreliance on Asian pop culture stereotypes in the latest news about Strixhaven. While I'm SUPER excited to be seen in a game I enjoy, this doesn't mean there isn't room for A LOT of improvement.

1⃣ Honour shouldn't be the only motivation for a character. It's 2021 and "Asian honour" should not be the defining feature of a character's story.

One great way to frame this Killian's story would be around the generational differences between him and his parents. Kim's Convenience nailed this as they told the story of Appa, his estranged son Jung, and how they can learned to repair their relationship.

Hey @LegendaryGamesJ, with everything going on in America right now, which member of your team decided that "mysteries of the Orient" was a good idea?

Did your cultural consultant think "unapproachable East" was a good idea in 2021? Did you even hire one?
With all of the hateful rhetoric towards Asian people, did the Legendary Games team think that FURTHER mystifying us would add anything productive to the conversations in the TTRPG space?
I'm trying to be constructive about this, but given everything that is happening, it's been real difficult. The right paints us as outsiders to be feared - people at the root of everyone's current problems.

The east isn't unapproachable.

Hi! Since I have a whole bunch of new followers after #DnDCelebration2020, here's a bit about me! I produce and co-host @aznsrepresent! Our podcast is hosted on the @OneShotNetwork and we stream at twitch.tv/aznsrep! You can find old streams at YouTube.com/aznsrepresent!

Prior to working in tech and gaming, I was an academic archeologist and educator @ROMtoronto. I've lived and worked in Jordan, Greece, and China. My academic specialties were Japanese (Jomon) and Chinese (early Holocene) ceramics, geoarchaeology, and early agriculture!

My academic and professional experiences strongly inform my game design work - which emphasizes an educational take on games media. Here are some of my recent #TTRPG products:

I'm at the DMV. Pray for me.
There are a surprising amount of people here who think bandanas are adequate face coverings.
After over an hour in line, the staff arbitrarily cut off the line and kicked us out of the building. I now have to come back tomorrow morning.

We're 10 minutes into Mulan and I already dislike it.
The dubbing of Jet Li just looks comical.
Early prediction, I think Gong Li's "Witch" character will turn out to be the most interesting.

This tweet is getting a lot of attention. Can y'all also do me a favour?

Go follow @DeeEmSteve, @ammarijaz, @20arabiaRPG, and @TheDovetailor. They'll be on the Weaving Asian Stories panel with me. This is a team effort, and these amazing humans deserve so much. #DnD
Not only is @DeeEmSteve a best selling author and fellow ENnie winner, but he's also one of the most emotionally intelligent and empathetic people I know.

We balance each other out on-stream, and that's one of the driving factors behind youtube.com/aznsrepresent.
.@ammarijaz is so damned smart. One of the most intelligent people I've ever met. The way he's leading out Al-Qadim read through at twitch.tv/aznsrep is mind blowing. Plus, he's working on a secret TTRPG project.
