About Scott

Starting way back in D&D 2E (yes, I know what THAC0 is), I took a bit of a break but have come back with avengence. Fluent in Cyberpunk Red, D&D 5E and 5.5, Vampire: The Masquerade 2E and 5E, Blades in the Dark, and Marvel Multiverse, I enjoy sharing stories with other people.

Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

because someone had to. I wanted to make sure my friends had a good time, so I stepped up.

My favorite shows/movies are

MST3K, Taskmaster, Red Dwarf, House MD

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

Playing board games and escaping escape rooms.

How Scott runs games

I like to create cool stories with people. As a GM I see my job is to keep stories interesting and challenging. That means I'm trying to get my players to 1 HP, not kill them. I do my best to make sure everyone gets to contribute.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

making a ruling and, if there are any questions, researching the answer inbetween sessions.

Rules are...

important to making sure everyone gets to play the same game.

When it comes to voices

I do my best, but my accents always seem to descend into a "brittish" one.

Scott's ideal table

I like having fun and engaging in inside jokes and references to past adventures, but I also like when PCs know when to buckle down and get things done.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

makes a decision that might be bad for them in the interest of telling an interesting story. I like when characters have flaws and don't need to make the ideal choice every time.

I think min/maxing...

is a red flag identifying players who feel a need to "win" the game. They seem to also be Superman fans, and to my mind that makes sense, as they seem to want to be all powerful with no risk of failure.
