In the Calliope + Ironmouse collab, they talked about how they’d love to roleplay together.
With Calli busy running the Hunter game for HololiveEN, she raised the idea of trying a one-shot/3-session short game, so you might have a chance to run something for assorted vTubers should you get in contact.
Shaun and I have startlingly similar YouTube tastes
The comment on Red Dragon/Chaos Dragon is incorrect, but only technically. Gen Urobuchi wrote Fate/Zero, the FSN prequel light novel (and also lots of other good stuff, Psychopass, Thunderbolt Fantasy); the original author for the FSN Visual Novel was Kinoko Nasu… who was also part of that RPG/Replay series.
