About me
I've always been a fun and outgoing person that can relate to many people easily but always prefer to be silent when possible. I have fun watching other people have fun and compounding upon it to make a more memorable experience. I always wanted to try D&D and other TFRPG games. I never really got the chance to whilst in school and now I am a player and a DM I try to bring my personality into that. I do not like the line between DM and player and try to be more friendly and open with my players as I consider them all friends even if that is only for a short time. Here is a list of all my campaigns/One Shots and also links to their videos https://itsscottish.net/dnd-info/
GM Style
I have a history of watching everything: Fantasy, Comedy, Romance and Sci-Fi. If I can make the reference I will. I have played so many fantasy games and FPS games; I love a great story in all forms. I love to watch the roleplay unfold at the table. Amateur drama with a dash of tragedy and comedy interjected with speedy, consistent combat described with a flare of spectacle and awe. Every NPC, even the smallest is unique and deserves a voice to shine with. I give them that voice - as ridiculous as it may sound. If there is a problem, I'll solve it. Making the game feel like a movie and the players like the main characters. Building up the characters and letting players explore their new persona - it's all about what they want. This is your story, I am the narrator, camera men and director. Lets play.

Matthew is a great DM, really knows his stuff when it comes to DnD and flexible to how you want to play the game. You can talk to him about character development if you want it, personal quests and it makes a genuinely nice atmosphere for players. The players he gets also makes the sessions great, good session for beginners and veterans alike
One of few instances where combat is pretty fun instead of more-so a chore, plus the humor with misses and just the jokes cracked in general during lulls or combat are funny and enjoyable. Helpful when things go array on the technical side, provides fun scene/combat music and has some pretty cool foundry maps.
Scott is dedicated to players experiencing a great time. And his games are fun. Thanks to it being led by an extremely knowledgeable GM who doesn't shy away from helping players or explaining how rules go. He embraces the chaos, and at the same time, keep things running smoothly and makes sure everyone is comfortable. He's also very well prepared for game sessions and makes the scheduling clear with everyone. Scott also takes time to flesh out the world and sprinkles in curveballs to keep players on their toes and refreshed. He has good knowledge of the VTT and makes great use of the available tech to keep players immersed in the game.
Playing Dnd with Matthew has honestly been one of the best experiences I’ve had playing dnd because he knows the rules but he isn’t a stickler about them at all, if something makes sense to him, he’ll let you do it as simple as that, which allows you to be as creative as you want to in any aspect of the game. Not to even start with the excellent all-exclusive scheduling he does for the group each and every week that makes sure no one misses a game unless you absolutely can’t make it. With choosing Matthew to DM your sessions I can assure a fun time and lots of laughs for everyone playing because I know my group sure has.
