Larong Tabletop is a web-video project made to showcase Filipino-made tabletop games while also aiming to prove that tabletop games can be a medium for education and for discussing socio-cultural factors and issues within the Philippines.
"How it came to be?"
The project is made by partners who had been introduced to the world of Tabletop Gaming in the duration of university and while being gamers-at-heart, is always open to any type of medium that involved it being fun, since then while thinking of a topic in the research phase of the course they went with the topic they know by heart and soul.

Concept of Kuwan (K-1) the Carabao
Kuwan was conceptualized to be a fun mascot that presents one of the native animals in the Philippines, a Carabao, aka. water buffalo, which we made him wear almost similar to a 'Barong Tagalog' (a fancy outfit in the Philippines worn in formal events). The word 'Kuwan' (Quan, Kuan) most commonly used by Filipinos that is just meant to fill in if people don't know what the exact thing is to say.
