About Scott
I have played a number of roleplaying games from when I was a child but got into D&D about 10 years ago. After our home game DM moved to another state I took up the mantle because no one else would and it ended up being a crazy amount of fun. I don't use a lot of premade adventures because I love to allow my players to guide the stories and I just keep the wagon rolling. Give me a 38 page backstory or tell me your drunken chaos goblin just woke up in a ditch and I'll try my best to make your character shine!

I got started GMing...
when our in-person GM moved to another state and I did not want to stop playing. I had no idea what I was doing but I got our group together, planned something based on WoW maps and lore, and just rolled with it. Everyone had an awesome time and after a few years we are in our second campaign.
My favorite books are
The Name of the WInd - Patrick Rothfuss, The Blacktongue Thief - Christopher Beuhlman, Dungeon Crawler Carl - Matt Dinniman, Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
When I'm not running games I'm...
Playing in them :) But also enjoying life with my wife, playing with our two Siamese cats, reading books, playing WoW, learning the bass guitar and the Korean language.
How Scott runs games
I try to strike a balance between roleplay and combat while throwing some puzzles and traps in there from time to time. I will try my best to give NPCs the terrible voice acting they deserve. The rule of cool is featured in my games as a convincing description of unorthodox gameplay often makes a fantastic story!

My games focus on...
you having fun. That sounds obvious but everyone enjoys different parts of the game and it's my job to let everyone shine and leave each session with a smile and a hunger for more!
Rules are...
there to guide us in the right direction but imagination and fun for all will always open up other ways to do things.
When it comes to voices
I am no Matt Mercer but I will give it my all and some will be glorious and some will make you cringe a little but we will have fun :)
