About Scott

I've been a GM for 20+ years, from D&D 3e to 5e. I'm a recent convert to Shadowdark, as it's opened my eyes to a to a new world of TTRPGs. All of my players have always said I'm a great GM. I typically disagree. Maybe they're just being nice. Maybe I just have imposter syndrome. Either way, we still have fun and laugh a lot. I have ADD (no H, because that takes too much energy), and my wife (who is a shrink) thinks I'm mildly autistic. Who am I to argue. Anyway, let's start playing games!

How Scott runs games

Roleplay is great, and I might try to coax it out of you if I can. Ultimately though, it's not strictly necessary. Consistantly talking over me or other players, or intentionally spotlight-hogging will get you invited to leave the group. Respect others. My games are typically 18+, because I have a mouth like a sailor. If you have triggers, tell me ahead of time and I will accomodate. Otherwise, I'll assume everything is fair game. I'm always down to answer questions!

Scott's ideal table

Primary focus is fun for everyone. If you're the type to constantly interrupt other players or like to hog the spotlight, you won't fit well at my table.
