Already a fan of science fiction and fantasy, Scott was introduced to the larger world of gaming when he first played Dungeons and Dragons at age 9. In high school he discovered Warhammer 40,000, and eventually found employment with Games Workshop in Canada where he met Bill and began a partnership in creativity. There he combined his interests in games and words by editing promotional materials and creating games for events such as Games Day and the local Conflicts.
After leaving Games Workshop to pursue a higher education, he found himself in teacher training. As part of a project to help young students understand early math skills, he created the Subtract ‘n’ Adder. Once he was in the classroom, teaching, he saw the value of making lessons that used a game format to instruct students in the use of new concepts and skills. He came up with the idea for Mathemagician’s Duel and tested it with his class. They liked it, so along with Bill Murphy, he formed BSGames and launched it. Check the BSGames website here: BS Games
