About Us

Hi, we're the Curious Chimeras! We believe that games have the power to be creative tools to spur and focus the imaginations of players. As players interact with each other, we not only create stories, but also discover more about ourselves, our friends and the environment that we live in. We create games and run events that build social interactions and community.

Come join in our events and games, whether you're a veteran or a newbie to tabletop gaming! We're very active on Facebook and post our events there frequently, so come hang out with us!

Chimera Shao is doing something cool with the National Library Singapore ! It's a project about RPGs... And SEAsian/ Singaporean history! Keep a lookout for more updates on this project!Stay Curious!Meet Tan Shao Han, one of our inaugural Creative Residency recipients. Shao Han enjoys making role-playing games where players can explore, understand, and interact with worlds inspired by Southeast Asian history and culture.๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ: Multi-disciplinary๐—ง๐—ถ๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜: Conceptualisation of a Historical Fantasy Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TRPG) on 1940s Singapore-Japanese relations in the โ€˜Three Worldsโ€™ Amusement Parks๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜: A TRPG that allows players to explore the quotidian desperations and banal excesses of wartime Singaporeโ€™s upheavals and changing social orders, and come to better terms with the subtle contradictions of our living history. It will draw upon NLโ€™s and NASโ€™ collections of historical sources, oral history interviews, microfilms, and photos to conceptualise and design a creative work of research-grounded and playable historical fiction.๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ?For this role-playing game, I am inspired by two groups' different experiences of the Japanese Occupation: the upwardly mobile gamblers and businesspeople who flourished, and the hapless or recalcitrant whom the occupiers exploited and punished. Singapore's Three Worlds amusement parks seem apt backdrops to examine these groups' dynamics and interactions.๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ?For the National Library, I will consult the Singapore and Southeast Asia Collection, Art Collection, and Rare Materials Collection.
