Musings on Hinirang
After having given long thought to the mechanics of the Hinirang RPG, my thoughts have turned to the setting itself.

Hinirang may have a body of work surrounding it already, but a lot more of it is filled in by our knowledge of the period of Philippine history that it is approximating. How to explain this to folks without removing the mystery and the sense of 'magical realism' that some of the stories strive for? I've been giving though to the daily life of the Katao of Hinirang, and there're some things that immediately jump out at me.

Family. Friends. There's got to be a reflection of the tight family and societal bonds in the community.

The Supernatural. Don't go out after dark. Always say "Tao po" when knocking on the door so they know someone human is paying a visit.

Food! My god, a list of the food that people eat...
