About me
Years ago, when I was working on my psychology degree, I went to a campus gamer meetup to try to find people to play cards with, but I said "Sure, I'll try this Dungeons and Dragons thing." I rolled an Elf Ranger that day, one of my favorite all time characters. Pretty soon I was buying RPG books and making my own worlds from scratch. One little decision can lead to a lifetime of fun.
GM Style
I think the ideal game is a balanced approach: great acting throughout with some hard puzzles and deep challenging combats. But I'm all for giving the players what they want, so my campaigns are player-driven sandboxes. I will happily give the players more combat, more roleplay, etc if that's what they are asking for. And it will all take place in a highly-detailed and well thought out world, right down to the voices of the NPCs.

Scott is my instructor DM with start playing. I was first very apprehensive because I was iffy about paying for a DM. But decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. Scott was on-time, understood the source material better than me, and allowed for slight changes in the game that were mostly for flavor or derived from understandings from developers that weren't implemented the way they wanted. Along with this he provides an extremely fun and flexible game where we can basically do what we want within his rules and the games rules. He also provided up front complete list of everything he house ruled and everything he expects. Now that I have experienced a professional DM, I will probably not go back to free DM. I would suggest anyonegive Scott's games a try.
I played d&d for a long time as a 2E guy back in the day. Scott invited me to a game after not playing for almost 20 years and now that regular gaming session is definitely the highlight of my week! I am very impressed with his extensive knowledge of 3.5E (really any D&D subject) and his patience bringing this old school player up to date. The great thing about Scott is his willingness to work with the players to make sure that their characters are not only fun to role play, but also very effective in the game. Playing with him from low levels to epic levels is always a blast! He posseses a rare combination of fairness, humor, and passion for crafting a compelling story that will keep you thinking about your character and counting the days until your next adventure! 10/10 GREAT DM!
Scott runs a great session, has great character generation rules and the house rules all make sense. Quite simply, the one shot I played in with him was the most fun I had this summer. I'm looking forward to playing with him again. You won't be disappointed in joining his games.
I have been playing in Scott game for over a year now and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Scott runs a fun, very enjoyable, relaxing game. He knows the rules very well and will help guide you through them when needed. He keeps the gaming running at a good pace but lets the players decide where the story will go. He is responsive to players, and I always look forward to the game.
Scott has been an amazing GM. I played older versions of DND and 5e, Scott helped me get right into our 3.5e adventure seamlessly. Scott is also willing to assist 24/7. I haven’t had a time that Scott hasn’t responded to a question. I would definitely recommend Scott for any of your GM/DM needs. Very knowledgeable, constantly communicates with the team, and is a pretty cool dude also! Thanks Scott!!
