Chimera Shao here! Glad to announce I'm part of the writing team which recently won a Gold ENNIE for "Pathfinder Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide"! It was in the "Best Setting" category. I'm very grateful our work inspired by Asian histories, cultures, and fantasy won! Thank you!

I'm glad to bring my interests, expertise, and positionality (as a SEAsianist and Chinese SEAsian) into my work. Goka contains my thoughts on Asian modernity as well as the history of global trade; Songbai is my love letter to wuxia, Brechtian everyday life, and civilians in war.

If you're interested in TTRPGs with an emphasis on Asian themes and experiences (mostly East, South, and Southeast Asian, given my subjectivities and training), check out my work with the Curious Chimeras! I'll be making more such games in the future. As always, stay curious!

Chimera Shao's short story for Pathfinder 2e's Tian Xia World Guide, officially releasing tomorrow! If you enjoy our narrative games of Asian fantasy ("Swordfarer", "Shrine", "Mere Gods") you'll probably like this story! (And vice versa.. So why not take a look at our games too?)
We end our tales of Tian Xia days with a look to the future, as a Po Li oracle performs a test of fate. Read about it here and look forward to tomorrow's release of the Lost Omens Tian Xia World Guide! paizo.me/44a3pC5 #LostOmensTianXia #LostOmens #pathfinder2e #paizo

There are TONS of locations, ppl, gods, monsters, and adventure hooks in the Lost Omens Tian Xia World Guide that draw from all across Asian fiction, myths, and folklore, and it wouldn't have been possible without some stellar authors! Check them! Follow them! 👇 #pathfinder2e

*throws my hands up* I was one of the contributors to the Tian Xia world guide! I wrote Tang Mai (formerly known as Dtang Ma) and the Phi Deva, which draw from Thai ghost stories of vengeful women who specifically target abusive men and Mae Nak.

The dragon’s out of the bag! I’m a writer on the Tian Xia World Guide by @paizo alongside an ensemble of amazing creatives. I wrote Quain, a Successor State brimming with martial arts, cultivation, and fierce rivalries between centuries-old grandmasters! It’s very Gender 🐉

The NDA for Tian Xia is lifted! Now I can confess, I'm responsible for many of the horrible things you'll find within the perfectly normal and absolutely fine nation of Wanshou. I hope you all love this first step into being #pathfinder2e writer.

Chimera Shao's worldbuilding work for Pathfinder 2e's Tian Xia World Guide is out! For this setting book on Asian-inspired fantasy for PF2e, Shao worked on the lands and peoples of metropolitan Goka and rural Songbai, two places with vastly divergent histories and societies (1/2)

Here are the details on another amazing #BigBadOnline2024 panel with @TanShaoHan and @curiouschimeras! Join them as they we provide some #SEAsian perspective that aren't the "Western" experiences of culture! #RepresentationMatters bigbadcon.com/events/some-se…

We'll be at Singapore Comic Con this weekend, at booth B2-AA10! That's the Artist Alley Zone in the basement near the tabletop gaming area. We're launching two new games, as well as taking preorders for a very limited TTRPG boxset with our friends Dragon Gate Tavern. See you!

We need so much more awareness of the richness of the global #ttrpg scene. Especially now that @StuHorvath has finally made the diversity of what is available in English visible most prominently with his book at MIT press.
