Skrat
“Skrat” from A Squirrel Plays is a rodent of many hats. YouTuber, streamer, writer, game master, and even a TTRPG designer. Whether he’s talking about storytelling on YouTube or streaming interviews and indie live plays, Skrat does what he can to lift up fellow creatives and show off their work, because marketing is the absolute worst. Somewhere in that mess, he gets to work on his own projects too. Sometimes with the chat’s help!
