One of my fave things about solo roleplaying (okay, and I guess it applies to TTRPG in general) is that it’s an excuse for me to immerse myself in culture—whether it’s my own (as a member of the global Filipino diaspora and also being part-Chinese), fantasy ones (like differences in interpretation of orcs lol), or global cultures (like Nordic influences in Ironsworn) or even different communities (like considerations of gender and appearance via Iron Valley).
Anyway, all that to say, I’m researching Philippine Hokkien (Fukien) which is basically the same as Taiwanese Hokkien—which is giving flashbacks to Chinese school when I was a kid, except no longer traumatic YAY 😀
