Reviews
The book is lovely, but. . .
"Islands of Sina Una is a beautiful book, but I can't in good conscience support a creator who takes backers' money and then basically just disappears. I backed the first crowdfunding campaign for Sina Una, and though it had delays, at least there was communication. Compared to the current Kickstarter, that first campaign felt like it went really smoothly. At this point though, I genuinely would not recommend supporting Lucia Versprille's/Seersword's work in any form. Backers who paid for Islands of Sina Una as a part of their pledge still don't have their copies, meanwhile the book is already out and being sold online or sitting in game stores. Shows exactly how little Lucia respects the people who supported her in the first place. Not to mention she also still hasn't delivered Tales from Sina Una, which is years late and somehow still doesn't even have a PDF. Updates are basically nonexistent (just excuses upon excuses), she ghosts her backers, and now she's apparently ghosting Hit Point Press too. Taking money for an already finished product and not sending it is despicable. If you're thinking of getting this book, please reconsider. Your money would be better spent supporting other creatives who actually honor their commitments."

Accurate Research
"I loved Filipino Folklore and used to run a blog with monster stats. This module was instantly bought and and so far I’m loving every second of this new campaign. Thank you!"

Long Over Due Representation
"It is always a breath of fresh air to see a setting that is not represented widely in media. Having a view of the world that differs from what is commonly shown in Western media makes for a great game that has me thinking about the world in a new light, even after the game finishes. Supplements like this are needed to keep our favorite games from feeling stale, but more importantly, to entice new players, who might otherwise skip over games with the same tired setting."

Because my partner is Filipinx
"I bought this book 1) because it looked amazing and was on CritRole once and 2) because my partner is Filipinx. This book and adventure module is much more than a setting for us. It's a way to learn more about a culture that I never got to explore before. My partner has been explaining a lot of the mythos and taking time to help me pronounce words in Tagalog. This is much more than a book for us and I thank you for making it."

A Dream Come True
"I don't care much for pre-written adventures or modules. I oftentimes find them constraining, uninteresting, and tedious. But Sina Una is none of that. It's liberating, fascinating, beautiful, and I am constantly finding new things in it and getting inspiration for my upcoming campaign. I admit I had been burnt out of the typical D&D fantasy settings. The Western Eurocentric settings were boring me and I needed a change. This book was both the change I needed and a fun way to connect to my Filipino roots, even if it was in a fantasy setting. I could not recommend this book more and I can't wait to see what this creative team does next."

We’ll Done and Exotic
"A very high quality book from your company. Haven’t had a bad product yet. Interesting setting and culture. Please encourage your writers to continue making books like this. Perhaps a setting based on India or sub-Saharan Africa?"

A testament to creativity with 5E
"A magnificent and imaginative collection of lore and expansion options to create a compelling and robust 5E campaign in a fantasy precolonial Philippines. Every bit the demonstration of what TTRPG can become with a more diverse arrangement of creators and inspirational myths. With lots of solid character options and a strong foundation of historical research the book feels as actionable as it does authentic."
