About the adventure
You are a group of Cottage Core Critters; anthropomorphic animals who have gotten away from a busier life to a small town in the countryside. Out here, the breeze is fresh and the meadow flowers glow golden as the sun slowly sinks beyond the horizon. The gentle sounds of nature wash over weary travellers as they are greeted by the scent of fresh baked goods from stalls and shops along the main street. Life is merry and full of little comforts for you and your cosy commune of Cottage Critters. The air is thick with excitement as your small town is most likely preparing for one of the many seasonal festivals or events. Everything should be fine, as long as the strange things going bump in the night or the weird lights at the edge of the woods mean nothing... right? - In this adventure players will get to create a Cottage Core Critter character and celebrate the Festival of the Longest Night, one of the largest dances and celebrations of the year in Falling Lief and potentially solve a small town mystery that leans itself to the more...spiritual~ side of things. - Feels like: - Stardew Valley - Zootopia - Beatrix Potter - Fields of Mistria

About me
✨CRITAward Finalist 2024 - Best Setting Description✨ "Good Game Masters inspire you to be better at storytelling, but the BEST Game Masters help you see the best in you directly. Scarlet Song is one of those Game Masters." - Patch Kelly - Quest Junkies - U.K Hello, hello! Nice to meet you~ I go by Scarlet Song (or Chinta according to governments this side of the galaxy) and I'm an artist, game master, game designer, and English & Literature teacher from VIC, Australia. I grew up surrounded by stories from a multitude of cultures including my own. My mother who worked in libraries and read to my sister and I at night and my father regaled me with tales of my ancestors and myths and legends- the world's stories and people are MY favourite! During my own adventure living and working in Japan in 2016, I discovered a true joy in running instead of playing tabletop role playing games and now have thousands of hours of experience in multiple game systems themes and genres and I'd love to share that feeling to all I have the pleasure of game mastering for.

Creating your character

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: - A Working Microphone/Headset - A quiet area to play in - A Steady internet connection - Alchemy RPG VTT Account Optional: Given how much RP is at the tables I run, a webcam is very good. Alchemy can chug the GPU of older computers but should be able to work on tablets as well as in web app/streaming app. Check it out here https://alchemyrpg.com/
