๐ฆ๐๐บ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐: A TRPG that allows players to explore the quotidian desperations and banal excesses of wartime Singaporeโs upheavals and changing social orders, and come to better terms with the subtle contradictions of our living history. It will draw upon NLโs 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.![]()

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.![]()

For the National Library, I will consult the Singapore and Southeast Asia Collection, Art Collection, and Rare Materials Collection. I will also consult the National Archives' Maps, Oral History Interviews, Photographs, and Records for useful primary sources. I will use this research to create believable, compelling, and sensitive game materials.
