Now, their latest project is a tabletop RPG adventure book inspired by the caves of Southeast Asia titled Reach Of The Roach God and it was successfully funded in just 27 minutes after its Kickstarter launched on 9 November 2021.

Having surpassed their initial goal, the crowdfunding campaign now offers more stretch goals, three of which have been achieved in seven hours. They have managed to raise their goal of US$9,283 (RM38,539.71) for the project.

Reach Of The Roach God is part of A Thousand Thousand Islands, a fantasy Southeast Asia world-building project by visual artist Munkao and writer Zedeck Siew. The project was first created as a series of zines back in 2017 and has since gained a following in fans of tabletop roleplaying games worldwide for its unique imagination of fantasy that weaves from material cultures, lived stories and mythic stories of the Southeast Asian region.
