I have come to the realization that there is a pretty sizable portion of the things that I know... that I only learned because I was doing research for RP purposes.
Like, the only reason I know how card magic, card mechanics and sleight of hand work is because I wrote a character that cheated at cards. I studied cardistry, watched videos explaining and demonstrating various sleight of hand moves (many of which I still find just really visually amazing), learned about misdirection and all that other good stuff.
The only reason I know my way around the engine of a car is because of my numerous characters who are racers. They would know this shit, so I need to know this shit too or else I can't write them convincingly. So I've learned about cars, about engines, about street racing and the whole culture surrounding it. I would have NO reason to learn that stuff if not for RP.
What about warfare, military strategy, and combat tactics? I would literally never read Sun Tzu's The Art of War on my own time for my own leisure. But I have read it, and watched and read many other resources about medieval combat and warfare, just for the sake of telling a compelling story.
What about you guys? What are some of the things you've learned about for RP that you probably wouldn't otherwise be interested in?
