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.
