About me
Hi, I have been a Games Master since 1984, beginning my lifelong love of ttrpg’s and Gming with AD&D. I have run a great variety of games over the years, and am especially fond of D&D, Traveller, C&S, Cyberpunk, Twilight 2000, White Wolf games, Aftermath and Star Trek. I am a married father and grandfather. My hobbies have included active participation in martial arts, Hema, Bohurt, 15th Century and Viking reenactment, literature and film, and occasional swordpunk festivals. I enjoy motorcycling and have recently retired from full time work. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate (I worked within the criminal justice system). I am always happy to respond to enquiries if you would like to make contact.

What Scotty G brings to the table
The gaming style will be theatre of the mind text based. Rules are treated as a framework but won’t be applied in a pure RAW manner,rather in a reasoned and spirit of the game way. In character voices and roleplaying is encouraged. NPC’s will have their own agendas and personalities. Session zero will serve to make introductions, agree a compact on behaviours, expectations and preferences, generate characters and discuss rules and houserules.
Homebrew rules
The Companion book is used and offers some additional background options, training rules and secondary characteristics such as charm, sanity and luck- players will be democratically invited to indicate if they wish to use these or not.. The setting does include psionics and players may (or may not) use these.
