About Scott I Fireharp

👋 Hello, my name is Scott (Fireharp), and I’ve been an imaginative storyteller for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid on the playground everyone came to, asking, “What game are we playing today?” 🛝 🎮 Shows from Nickelodeon and Saturday morning cartoons 📺🌈 fueled my imagination, inspiring me to dream up entire worlds we could explore together. 🌍✨ Many years later, and I’m still doing the same thing, just with older players who are still kids at heart. I’m a passionate, creative GM who lives for character-driven adventures and rich, immersive worlds. 🎭📖 I’m especially drawn to urban intrigue 🏙️, gritty underworlds 🕵️‍♂️, and games where alliances shift and secrets unravel. 🔍🤐 Roleplay is my jam 🎤, but I’m here for the dice drama too 🎲💥. 🧩 I’m looking for a crew that vibes with story-driven play, bold choices, and collaborative worldbuilding. If your group loves lore drops, meaningful RP, and laughing through the chaos, hit me up. Let’s build something legendary. 💀📜✨

I became a GM because

If feels good to me. I find it benefits my mental health for someone to join in on a story I created and tell me that it helped them in a way too.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

I asked my players and they said, "Imaginative, Steading, and Personalized.

When I'm not running games I'm...

I have so many different hobbies. I breed and raise tiny ornamental Japanese rice fish. I am a blues musician, who can be seen picking on my porch, or wailing on a harp, making it cry… hence the name Fireharp. I’m new to anime, but slowly getting into it. I do play video games with friends.

How Scott I Fireharp runs games

💬 Social: I’m a full social butterfly and an unapologetic ham. If the party wants to spend the whole session deep in roleplay and banter, I’m all in. I could run a whole campaign in a tavern if the story’s good enough. 🦋🎭 🗡️Combat: Hostile when provoked, I keep things chill, but if you want to throw down… I’ll bring the music. We can dance as hard as you can handle. 🎵💀 🗺️ Exploration: My fantasy worlds are like a good chocolate stout. Rich, dense, and best savored slow. You’ll leave full, maybe a little drunk, and definitely wanting another round. 🍺 🧠 Shared Knowledge, I’ve played just about every class under the sun. I have a solid knowledge of the rules, and I enjoy passing on what I have learned. I have six younger siblings, so I'm used to teaching people new things. Whether you’re min-maxing a concept or chasing a wild dream build, I can help you shape it into something that sings. 🎲 From mechanical know-how to narrative flavor, I’m here to help you get the most out of your vision. In the right hands, anything is possible. ✨🛠️ 🌈 I am an inclusive story teller and shape the world around my players, and I truly believe I'm the best at that. (Maybe I'm delusional, but come play with me and then you tell me.) I was raised in a very diverse community (shoutout Storm Lake, Iowa), and have a wide range of experiences to draw from. My goal is to create a space where you can truly be anyone, inside the game and out. Whether you’re here to explore, heal, express, or just have fun, you’re welcome.✨ All I ask is that you show respect: to yourself, to others, and to the shared story we’re building together. 📖🤝 🔥RP > RAW📜 I’m all about narrative-driven play that fuels character growth and personal arcs. I want my players to grow from their experience and actually feel like the left my table with more then what they came with. I'm not a referee for a video game. I'm an advanced multidimensional intelligence that provides a mental world that truly exists in its own way.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

I asked my wife this question and she said, "James Gunn. Referring from Guardians 3. Super silly at many moments but gets super serious and dark when the story calls for it. And of course a badass 80s soundtrack to go with it."

My favorite trope is...

I honestly like things that are unique, like I enjoy when a player comes to me and says, "Can I just be a cat." I like characters you only see once, and once you wouldn’t expect.

My games focus on...

Telling a full story with a wide range. It can be a rollercoaster of different emotions. We have our silly days, those times when feel triumphant or defeated, and even days when we feel sad or angry. We’re just looking to tell a fun story around here.

Scott I Fireharp's ideal table

My ideal table is a group of people who are all dedicated to show up and exchange ideas and energy they love. I enjoy variety of personalities and like bringing people together. People who know the balance between being silly, and knowing when it’s time to dive into the serious and dramatic moments.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Melodrama and epic moments. Being a ham and tugging at your emotions is what I love to do.

I love it when a player

Takes the initiative and brings the story to a new place. The, "Let’s go over here and see what this place/thing/person is." Type of player. Don’t worry of your more reactive though. I also like the supportive, along for the ride, kind of player.

My perfect party mix is

A coven of witches. I would love to GM a game for a Coven of Witches.
