About me
In 1979, nine year old future Game Master Scott Campbell received a Dungeons and Dragons box set for his birthday, and the rest is deep lore. A forever DM was born. 44 years later, Scott is still running TTRPG games and still specializes in Dungeons & Dragons! Fifth edition is his current favourite version of the game. Scott runs professional drop in games and bespoke campaigns in person twice a week currently in his home city of Edmonton Alberta in Canada. Enjoying great success with his in person games, Scott has decided to offer his world class storytelling skills to the world, running games via Discord and Roll20. Scott specializes in a cinematic game filled with well voiced characters, puzzles, plenty of Role playing and character immersion with just the right amount of tactical combat and engaging exploration. A professional scare actor with the infamous Deadmonton haunted house, Scott loves a good horror campaign, but is happy to craft the kind of game that keeps players coming back for more!
GM Style
I am a role-play heavy GM who is very skilled with voice acting and improvisation. I enjoy challenging, tactical combat, and I love to let the dice tell the story. I do not roll behind screens or fudge rolls! I love to include backstory elements into the tales we weave together, and I try to elicit very real emotions in my games! Horror and suspense are my specialties, and I bring 9 years of professional scare actor experience to my table, to great effect.

Scott is a talented actor and storyteller. He crafts deep, intricate worlds and is an amazing storyteller. He is also very good at welcoming players, new and old into his games and has experience in quickly adding them to the story. His games contain both action and story with a strong sense of pacing.

Just the other day at Scott's table another player explained his experience with Scott as a DM perfectly. "It's like Scott is still a 14-year-old who just discovered D&D for the first time, every time he steps up to the table he brings the same joy and spark to each session." I have been playing with Scott for over a year at our local game store and he is a force of nature who loves to get involved in the development of the setting, players, and the connections between players stories. Scott has a wide range of talents which you will experience during your sessions. I'm not one for spoilers so I'll leave at this... go out there and have fun with this amazing crafter of tales! I wish Scott all the best in his new adventures! Shine on!

Ive been playing regularly with scott for around 7 months now. If i could sum it up, if you never have played dnd before, but have an idea of what you think a dm is supposed to be, its Scott, he has that genuine first time excitement i imagine a teenager would have discovering dnd for the first time in the 70s, but 40 years of experience sprinkled on top. He is also one of the few story tellers i draw inspiration from when i run my own games or play in other games.

As a dm I look at others and his story telling in crazy good

I have been playing for 30+ years, and without question Scott is the best Dm I have ever played with. Fantastic story teller, out of this world imagination, next level voice acting! He is very inclusive, and exceptional with both veteran and first timers. Very good at reading the room, and his passion is second to none. If I could have selected all ten boxes I would have. 10/10… If you are lucky enough to be in his Campaign, you will see what I mean!

Scott runs an solid campaign. He knows his stuff and brings a great deal of creativity and personality to the game. I started playing D&D over 40 years ago. After a long break I resumed playing in 2022 at Scott's table. Puts the DMs I used to play with to shame. Experienced and rookie players will find a lot of fun with him. I'm looking forward to our next session.
