Senses of Humor by Culture in My Homebrew Setting
Because I tend to run pretty roleplay-heavy games when given the choice, a lot of the worldbuilding that I do is around characterizing the cultures in my homebrew setting. Knowing things like the environment and species of the world or the major epochs of history of the setting are useful for a number of reasons, but oftentimes, roleplaying benefits from more people-oriented information, like common sayings among certain groups or references to famous people in the setting. With that idea in mind, I want to tackle a very abstract idea that nonetheless very tangibly changes social interaction: sense of humor.
