@@bast4rdlyreaper Doesn't feel like it's been 2 years since this, lol. But yeah, still a timeless classic and one I hope to spring on players in D&D at some point.

"Inland revenue? Just because we're three million years into deep space and the human species is extinct? That means nothing to these people. They'll find us."
This video is how I convinced one of my friends to play Cyberpunk Red. He is now playing a borderline cyberpsycho Exec/Solo who works for Scott Brown. Screaming "GET THE FVCK OUT, I HAVE A SHOWING!" is his favorite thing to do.
Scott brown agents just seem to choose violence every time. I see the appeal of kicking open a door like swat and blasting the fuck out of random items in a room to show I mean business.
I love the stories. One of my favorites is actually from the first or second session I ever played. Basically while this was going on I was helping hold back a group of goblins consisting of riders and footsoldiers, meanwhile a friend of mine who was playing a wizard decided to cast a spell that caused a room where goblin necromancers were casting a spell ,trying to raise a goblin warlord, to fill with a thick choking smoke. This caused the GM to make a concentration check for the goblins which all but one of them failed causing the small side room they were in to explode.
@@johncollins7631 that’s how you do public relations, if I have a property to sell or buy I’ll go with scot brown since I know they are dedicated and have a sense of humor now.
One of y'all need to make a few friends at Scott Brown and show them this video. I want reactions, people! I want to see actual Scott Brown agents finding out that they inspired the hardest motherfuckers in real estate, circa 2020!
Love your username, reminds me of our Ethan. He just cancelled a game he'd begged for after I agreed to forever DM to satiate his need for a game. Then casually announced the weekend we had planned for months to finally end our previous epic campaign. Spoilers, the campaign isn't actually epic, our DM didn't want to learn 5e, just wanted to run our 5e PCs through 3e enemies he's memorized. My groups are the most functional folks. Also, Seth, moar stories my dude!
Yesterday afternoon, I was finishing some office work at my job before clocking out when suddenly the phone rang and the caller ID said “Brown, Scott”. Thank you Seth for making me legitimately terrified.
Oh man, I went to court today(accompanying a relative) and one of the men running about looking for the parties yelled out "Scott? Brown?" and all of a sudden I felt like, a pump in my chest.
I know I'm coming very late to this particular video but I recently shared it with my players because we had a sort of similar incident in Death In Space when one of the players, in order to talk his way out of a potential lynch mob kicking off, pulled out this old culinary association jacket patch that his character had found somewhere. He held it up like a badge, pointed his pistol, and shouted "HEALTH INSPECTOR, EVERYONE FREEEEEEZE!!" The crowd, never having encountered a health inspector before, was unsure of what his duties might be, started thinking that he was literally there to clean up their sector in which they lived in squalor because of a local gang dispute. He's now essentially the sheriff of Aurum Sector 80, and "HEALTH INSPECTOR! FREEEEEEZE!!" has become the go-to rallying cry.
My name is Scott Brown, although I am not the real estate agent in Texas.... I have running joke with my son and his friends where I pop my head into the basement and tell them they have to go. This running gag is immediately being upgraded!
That's awesome. In our group it's, "How much armor do you have?" We were playing a post-apocalyptic game, and the group set up a meeting with a powerful local gang who were known for hording all of the best tech. Well, the team had just taken in a new player, and this guy had the clever idea of ambushing the representative when he shows up in order to get better leverage over him. So the gang rep shows up in tactical armor, riding a really heavy armored bike and the new guy jumps him. A lucky shot takes the guy off of his bike and out of the fight in a single hit. The new guy become really obsessed with the bike and all of it's goodies, so I point out that it has some kind of round pendant with a short chain stuck onto the bottom of the control panel. The guy quickly grabs the chain and pulls the "pendant" off of the bike. While examining the featureless coin-like pendant, he sees that the display panel has lit up and is displaying numbers. 8, then 7, then 6, etc. To my surprise, the party becomes even more interested in the bike and this impressive computer it clearly has. They begin poking around it and watching the countdown until it hit's 0. Then I rolled a quick roll, did some calculations. Nobody was going to survive the detonation, so to be fair I thought that just maybe I could knock some of that damage down with their armor and just have them thrown clear of the worst of the blast. I asked the question, "How much armor do you have?". The group leader looked sideways at the new guy, and then frowned at me. "We're dead, aren't we?" "Yeah." It's been around 20 years now and to this day any time we're playing any game and somebody is about to take or deal a lot of damage, someone will inevitably call out that line.
Our play group has something similar. "Does X(normally fire) set off my Y(insert an unreasonable amount of high explosives.)" It is always a serious question that cuts through any other conversation at the time. The immediate follow up is "Am I in range?"
@@SSkorkowsky Even aside from starting this EPIC in-game joke, that is a really awesome idea! Stuff like this is why I LOVE table-top games. I like the computer games (I can play by myself), but you just cannot get this kind of "Box? What box? Why should I think outside of something that doesn't even exist?" scenarios. Sir, I salute you!
This is what TTRPGs are all about. Friends having fun, GMs rolling with the punches, and in jokes between good friends. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope to hear more
loved the vid! we had somthing similar when we were playing the starwars rpg our GM told us that we couldnt call our YT 1200 freighter "The meillenium falcon" so we decided on "The centennial hawk", we now have a fleet of freighters with a unit of time and a bird combo namesakes such as "The Decade raptor" "The Minute wren" "The Epoch Albatross" and "The Jiffy Condor"
The cultist knife fell, leting the sanguine contents flow upon the horrid circle. From which rose a smoke. A smoke taking a shape not unlike that of an octopod, a dragon, and a man. A form becoming horribly solid in the moonlight. Great wings cast the gathered men in to shadow as the form stood to gain it's full height. Then far across the room a voice called out, "SOTT BROWN MOTHER FUCKER! I GOT A SHOWING!" A sound not unlike crashing thunder rung out twice. Cultist scattered in every direction, panic and dread compression setting in. The great figure hunched and backed out of the circle. Dissolving into the smoke from whence it came. As it is read in that ancient poem in the necrotic manuscript. "Battle not the emissaries of Scout Brown, least even mighty gods be struck down."
My co-writer for Highway of Blood included Scott Brown as an NPC in our Highway of Blood scenario. Not sure he's much like your Scott Brown, but the reference has been quite well received.
My favorite shirt you wear, Seth, is the "Respect your elders" one. I always get a kick out of seeing it. That was one of the best war stories I've heard. Please start wearing the Scott Brown shirt for these types of videos! It's great! Got any more War Stories? I'd stay a while and listen to as many as you are willing to tell. With your career, I bet you have some more good ones.
I never thought war stories are boring, in fact, I always thought the sharing of war stories was one of the best parts of RPGing. IMO it is the one thing that connects players all over the world, their love of telling about their most awesome, most funny, most horrible RPG moments.
LOL. Omigod! This had me rolling! Well told. I love the characters' reaction at the table (especially Mustache) and your acting out of the Scott Brown realtor. I'd love to see more of these.
I come back to this story every couple of months just to hear it again and see you double fire into the air behind your gamemaster’s screen. I have used Scott Brown in every cyberpunk game I’ve run for years now and even in some Call of Chthulu and DnD games. Just, thank you sir.
My DM created a character the same way in dnd, only that character ended up being a god in the end and his name was Gilbert, and one of the players asked his last name, and my DM looked around and said the first Word that he saw: "dishwasher"... so Gilbert Dishwasher! And he had an army of washertroopers who couldn't shoot straight... and being a god and also CEO of dishwasher entreprise, à company that spreads in multiple plains To craft anything
I remember when running this game back in the 90's I had my own not as awesome Scott Brown Incident. A PC went to purchase a security system for his sweet new ride. When the salesman asked him "Lethal or Non-Lethal" his opened up wide and he said "I can get lethal?!" Fun times.
Dreams can be really interesting to listen to, depending on the dream, of course. For instance, my friend told me that he had a dream where a mutual friend of us was dressed as an egg, ate an omelette, and slowly gave him a thumbs up.
I've been waiting in the emergency room for 2 and a half hours when the nurse comes out and calls for Scott Brown. I started laughing and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. LMAO! Scott Brown has permeated the Zeitgeist.
@@SSkorkowsky After over 2 hours, it was the laugh I needed. I feel like it's a sign. I think I'm gonna add Scott Brown Realty to one of the D&D games I run. lol
Playing SLA Industries, and the GM scrambled to to name two companies which were having a corporate war, and all he could come up with was Lego and Tonka. So our operatives were hired by Lego to perform a corporate strike on Tonka and take out one of their chief executives. Was amusing to think of two toy companies acting like any other corporations in a cyberpunk setting, kidnapping and sabotaging each others businesses.
Great story! That's more or less how our Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign wound up having a halfling clan named 'Spunklemeyer'. Our GM worked for an agency with client (a cookie company) named Otis Spunkmeyer. Enter Otis Spunklemeyer and his amazing circus.
I have not laughed so much over the telling of an RPG war story is a really long time. I have shared this with friends. This is so funny, please keep making these.
Not boring at all. I want more stories. In fact, I think this is some of the most compelling content you can do concerning tabletop games. Please keep them coming.
As I said in your Hellraiser box configurations collection video, I'm running a dread one-shot in 3 weeks, and of course the security agent tasked to protect the PCs is going to work for "Scott Brown Inc." And with this very little homage, Scott Brown's legend lives on.
Seth, I just want to be the first to congratulate you on a well deserved easter egg in the new Cyberpunk Red RPG book. So well deserved, thank you for bringing this world to so many new fans !
Started a Traveller game a few months ago, Pirates of Drinax, one of the players asked about renting a secure warehouse on Theev for storage. Of course Scot Brown is the only agency hardcore enough to do business in the Theev Cluster. I made a whole show if it; one part shady real estate salesman one part Tony Soprano. The PCs didn't want to be owing this guy money, but it was the only option.
It would be a decent cover for a paranormal investigation group, like a pre-cursor to Delta Green. Depending on the time period you are running, of course.
Dude. Critical Role is a goddamn profit machine and it’s literally just people playing a game. When I saw you were doing a story time I practically squealed in excitement. MOAR
Ooooooh! I'm supposed to be creating characters for D&D. Hmmmm, I'm thinking a lawful neutral fighter. I mean, they're not EVIL, kicking out the people. They just want to make sure that they keep what is their own, right? But they don't play nicey-nice about it, either. His ideal can be "Don't ever mess with a real estate agent."
THE CANDID SHIRT SHOTS GIVE ME LIFE!! hm... I see what you mean with "not as interesting as they think it is" when describing gaming adventures to other people as that is a thing that can easily happen. but I also know I am always on the edge of my seat and questioning my friends about their adventures, so ... maybe it's a "know your audience" kind of thing and the way people actually talk *about* their adventures has a lot to do with it. tl;dr: scott brown, get outta here I've got a showin'!!
We had a recurring mercenary group that a couple of party members were a part of that was named purely off one of us spotting a foam hand for the OKC Thunder in the room when asked who we worked for and blurting out Thunder Fist. Sometimes ass pulls are the best inspiration.
I don't even play table top / pen and paper games, I dunno why your channel appered on my feed, but I keep watching because I love your story telling... But Scott Brown having a showing, really made me laugh... amazing story man!
Thank you so much!!! I borrowed this and it was amazing! I am running an open legend sci-fi game and have made a planet which is very much based on Cyberpunk. A couple of my players wanted to have a side quest. In their investigation of a shady contact, they find that their human "Chop Shop" is a property for purchase by Scott Brown. Much of the same events happen but without the players' initial knowledge. Then they start getting messages offering to show other properties they're looking into not realizing they're being tracked through cookies on a website by a businessman, they think one of them is going to get killed in the night and ditch the com unit which has all of his money and identity in his apartment so he "...doesn't get blown up..." Eventually though they ditch the original quest and make friends with Scott Brown's salesman and decide to buy a property from him when they have the funds. Thank you so much for a wonderful night of gaming.
"Scott Brown Realtors...we will clean out the initial squatters and help keep them out for the first six months of rent or payments after initial purchase or the next rental or purchase is free! How may I help you Sir or Madam?"
I love listening to these types of stories. Little things about in jokes, games, and just various stories about hilarious little events in game. Much better and funnier than just watching people play if you ask me.
This is right up there with "go we must with foot and foot!" or "I want to listen and see if I can hear footprints".... (shortly followed by "you can hear footsteps. You can't hear footprints").
I used a Scott Brown Real Estate agency in a town called Houillon in the Islands in the Reft adventure. The characters were directed to a house Scott Brown was selling (as soon as it wasn't a police crime scene any longer) for info on the missing crew of the Perfect Stranger. Good times.
Okay, just found this and as an actual Scott Brown that is actually into Cyberpunk I cannot state how much I love this and the attending music I found elsewhere. Thank you so much for making my name epic.
I love moments like this. It is also nice to hear other DMs willing to say "I had no idea it was gonna go down like this".... I always view my DMing as setting up dominoes and watching the players push them down. This is a perfect example of that, you set up all these dominoes, and the players chose what ones to knock down and it ended up in a crazy situation like this.... It is always a treat when both the DM and Players are honestly surprised and it is something that sticks with everyone involved.
I love these stories. Didn't know you were in Denton, live in Saginaw about 45/30 minutes south. And for those outside Texas, yes, we measure distance in time, not miles
We were running a campaign, and the party had to go down a rope into a cavern. Well, there was nothing to tie off to, so i waited above so when they would return. Nothing much happening for my character, so I nodded off, one of those all night game sessions. I roused some time later, and the GM noticed and asked me what I was doing. I said, "I'm holding the rope." So that became a trope among our group whenever someone in the game wasn't paying attention.
Thank God!?...i seen your ads for merchandise and i was like "who the hell is Scott Brown?" i even googled it...now i and the whole gaming world know the truth behind the myth. Thanks for the info and great story....love the channel, been watching for about 6 months and just got the first series of your books...so far so great! Keep up the good work and if you ever need a extra player for one of your games and you still live in the north Texas area drop a line. Keep up the GREAT work.

Dude seth is so fucking good at portraying every single one of these characters his face changes with each wardrobe choice. Oscar Worthy.
Tex of the Black Pants Legion led me here. I now want to see Scoot Brown in Cyber Punk 2077.
I made a scream sheet about "The Apartment" one shot and I included a Scott Brown ad. The AD read "Scott Brown, Your Home in the Combat Zone"
I come back to this story every couple of months just to hear it again and see you double fire into the air behind your gamemaster’s screen. I have used Scott Brown in every cyberpunk game I’ve run for years now and even in some Call of Chthulu and DnD games. Just, thank you sir.
There is a side quest in Cyberpunk 2077 where you have to evict a building. In my head this is a reference.
My DM created a character the same way in dnd, only that character ended up being a god in the end and his name was Gilbert, and one of the players asked his last name, and my DM looked around and said the first Word that he saw: "dishwasher"... so Gilbert Dishwasher! And he had an army of washertroopers who couldn't shoot straight... and being a god and also CEO of dishwasher entreprise, à company that spreads in multiple plains To craft anything
Perfect :D
The beauty of rolling with a player's idea and coming up with something off the cuff.
I just noticed that when the gunshot sound effect happens, Jack is in color. Good way to simulate muzzle flash 😁
I remember when running this game back in the 90's I had my own not as awesome Scott Brown Incident. A PC went to purchase a security system for his sweet new ride. When the salesman asked him "Lethal or Non-Lethal" his opened up wide and he said "I can get lethal?!"
Fun times.
Dreams can be really interesting to listen to, depending on the dream, of course. For instance, my friend told me that he had a dream where a mutual friend of us was dressed as an egg, ate an omelette, and slowly gave him a thumbs up.
I've been waiting in the emergency room for 2 and a half hours when the nurse comes out and calls for Scott Brown.
I started laughing and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. LMAO!
Scott Brown has permeated the Zeitgeist.
1: That's funny
2: I hope you and yours are OK now. Two and a half hours waiting in the ER is brutal.
@@SSkorkowsky After over 2 hours, it was the laugh I needed.
I feel like it's a sign. I think I'm gonna add Scott Brown Realty to one of the D&D games I run. lol
Glad you got out safe! Lol
No joke. There is a song called “mother fucker” by a musician named Scott Brown here on your tube. It’s a heavy synthwave cyberpunk in sound.
Playing SLA Industries, and the GM scrambled to to name two companies which were having a corporate war, and all he could come up with was Lego and Tonka.
So our operatives were hired by Lego to perform a corporate strike on Tonka and take out one of their chief executives. Was amusing to think of two toy companies acting like any other corporations in a cyberpunk setting, kidnapping and sabotaging each others businesses.
Great story! That's more or less how our Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign wound up having a halfling clan named 'Spunklemeyer'. Our GM worked for an agency with client (a cookie company) named Otis Spunkmeyer. Enter Otis Spunklemeyer and his amazing circus.
Those cookies are really good!
I have not laughed so much over the telling of an RPG war story is a really long time. I have shared this with friends. This is so funny, please keep making these.
I want to drive to Texas just to find Dent and steal a Scott Brown Realty sign so badly now
The town is Denton.
I wouldnt chance it, tbh. Scott Brown doesnt fuck around
This is one of those easily accessible "should have a million views" videos that anyone could enjoy.
Not boring at all. I want more stories. In fact, I think this is some of the most compelling content you can do concerning tabletop games. Please keep them coming.
As I said in your Hellraiser box configurations collection video, I'm running a dread one-shot in 3 weeks, and of course the security agent tasked to protect the PCs is going to work for "Scott Brown Inc." And with this very little homage, Scott Brown's legend lives on.
Dude, I was dying laughing at this! He was terrified when he heard the name Scott Brown!
Scott Brown Real Estate: The preferred real estate company of Adam Smasher.
Seth, I just want to be the first to congratulate you on a well deserved easter egg in the new Cyberpunk Red RPG book. So well deserved, thank you for bringing this world to so many new fans !
Wait, they referenced this in the Red core book? Where is it?
@@procrastinatinggamer in world website advert :)
@@hawkthetraveler6344 Where? I just skimmed through them all and still didn't see it.
Someone send a link or pic, I need to see this
@@thehammer4607 @procrastinatinggamer page 26, one of the keysearches is "scott brown"
Started a Traveller game a few months ago, Pirates of Drinax, one of the players asked about renting a secure warehouse on Theev for storage. Of course Scot Brown is the only agency hardcore enough to do business in the Theev Cluster. I made a whole show if it; one part shady real estate salesman one part Tony Soprano. The PCs didn't want to be owing this guy money, but it was the only option.
Okay, so now I have to include a Scott Brown real estate agency in my Call of Cthulhu campaign. ;)
Will you put it on RUclips?
It would be a decent cover for a paranormal investigation group, like a pre-cursor to Delta Green. Depending on the time period you are running, of course.
This might need an update to say that Scott Brown does know about this incident now 😂
Probably so.
Dude. Critical Role is a goddamn profit machine and it’s literally just people playing a game. When I saw you were doing a story time I practically squealed in excitement. MOAR
That is the best! I'd like to see the real Scott Brown see this video, but at the same time I'd hate for any fallout to come back to you.
not boring more stories
I am using this if I ever run cyberpunk
Why would you not?
I'm using this in all of my games, Cyberpunk or not lol
Will you put vids of it up on RUclips?
I hope one random fan of yours is actually a Scott Brown agent and they show this video to the whole office. 😂
I will call my next PC Scott Brown in honor of this story :D Tell us more, Seth!!!
Ooooooh! I'm supposed to be creating characters for D&D. Hmmmm, I'm thinking a lawful neutral fighter. I mean, they're not EVIL, kicking out the people. They just want to make sure that they keep what is their own, right? But they don't play nicey-nice about it, either.
His ideal can be "Don't ever mess with a real estate agent."
THE CANDID SHIRT SHOTS GIVE ME LIFE!!
hm... I see what you mean with "not as interesting as they think it is" when describing gaming adventures to other people as that is a thing that can easily happen. but I also know I am always on the edge of my seat and questioning my friends about their adventures, so ... maybe it's a "know your audience" kind of thing and the way people actually talk *about* their adventures has a lot to do with it.
tl;dr: scott brown, get outta here I've got a showin'!!
We had a recurring mercenary group that a couple of party members were a part of that was named purely off one of us spotting a foam hand for the OKC Thunder in the room when asked who we worked for and blurting out Thunder Fist.
Sometimes ass pulls are the best inspiration.
I don't even play table top / pen and paper games, I dunno why your channel appered on my feed, but I keep watching because I love your story telling...
But Scott Brown having a showing, really made me laugh... amazing story man!
Here because someone at work was wearing a Scott Brown t-shirt. I truly enjoyed the story.
I needed this video so much! xD
Thank you so much!!! I borrowed this and it was amazing! I am running an open legend sci-fi game and have made a planet which is very much based on Cyberpunk. A couple of my players wanted to have a side quest. In their investigation of a shady contact, they find that their human "Chop Shop" is a property for purchase by Scott Brown. Much of the same events happen but without the players' initial knowledge. Then they start getting messages offering to show other properties they're looking into not realizing they're being tracked through cookies on a website by a businessman, they think one of them is going to get killed in the night and ditch the com unit which has all of his money and identity in his apartment so he "...doesn't get blown up..." Eventually though they ditch the original quest and make friends with Scott Brown's salesman and decide to buy a property from him when they have the funds. Thank you so much for a wonderful night of gaming.
Holy crap, that's funny. I love it. I wish I'd thought of the cookies and follow-up sales calls. That's brilliant.
"Scott Brown Realtors...we will clean out the initial squatters and help keep them out for the first six months of rent or payments after initial purchase or the next rental or purchase is free! How may I help you Sir or Madam?"
I love listening to these types of stories. Little things about in jokes, games, and just various stories about hilarious little events in game. Much better and funnier than just watching people play if you ask me.
Jokes on you Seth, now more than 34,353 people are also in on the inside joke.
This is right up there with "go we must with foot and foot!" or "I want to listen and see if I can hear footprints".... (shortly followed by "you can hear footsteps. You can't hear footprints").
Depends on the drugs you are using, honestly. Pretty sure there is a street drug in CP2020 or SR that allows you to hear footprints.
I used a Scott Brown Real Estate agency in a town called Houillon in the Islands in the Reft adventure. The characters were directed to a house Scott Brown was selling (as soon as it wasn't a police crime scene any longer) for info on the missing crew of the Perfect Stranger. Good times.
I think I have a new megacorp in my cyberpunk universe
Please put it on RUclips!
Okay, just found this and as an actual Scott Brown that is actually into Cyberpunk I cannot state how much I love this and the attending music I found elsewhere. Thank you so much for making my name epic.
I love moments like this. It is also nice to hear other DMs willing to say "I had no idea it was gonna go down like this".... I always view my DMing as setting up dominoes and watching the players push them down. This is a perfect example of that, you set up all these dominoes, and the players chose what ones to knock down and it ended up in a crazy situation like this.... It is always a treat when both the DM and Players are honestly surprised and it is something that sticks with everyone involved.
Years later. Still comedy gold
I cannot stop laughing this is awesome! Thanks for telling us this game moment.
This will never get old! Had to come back to it after I recalled the catchphrase lol
I love these stories. Didn't know you were in Denton, live in Saginaw about 45/30 minutes south. And for those outside Texas, yes, we measure distance in time, not miles
To be fair, a lot of Minnesotans do it also.
6:00 - you shooting the 2 imaginary guns
best face :D
I hope someone mods Cyberpunk 2077 to have those Scott Brown signs all over the buildings.
We were running a campaign, and the party had to go down a rope into a cavern. Well, there was nothing to tie off to, so i waited above so when they would return. Nothing much happening for my character, so I nodded off, one of those all night game sessions. I roused some time later, and the GM noticed and asked me what I was doing. I said, "I'm holding the rope." So that became a trope among our group whenever someone in the game wasn't paying attention.
Thank God!?...i seen your ads for merchandise and i was like "who the hell is Scott Brown?" i even googled it...now i and the whole gaming world know the truth behind the myth. Thanks for the info and great story....love the channel, been watching for about 6 months and just got the first series of your books...so far so great! Keep up the good work and if you ever need a extra player for one of your games and you still live in the north Texas area drop a line. Keep up the GREAT work.
Awesome story, brought back memories of my past gaming experiences. Thanks for sharing it.
