Career
Scott Haring began working in the adventure gaming industry in 1982. Haring had a long career with Steve Jackson Games, having worked at the company five different times over a period of 15 years. Haring has worked as the Car Wars line editor, and became editor on the new magazine Autoduel Quarterly when it debuted in 1983. He also wrote and edited for Ghostbusters and GURPS and served as the editor for Pyramid magazine. He has been a columnist for Comics & Games Retailer since 1987.
Scott Haring was newly hired at TSR when he added four pages of purely game material to a series of "comic modules" published by TSR West, since TSR had an exclusive license for comic books with DC.

His other D&D design work includes The Republic of Darokin (1989) and Otherlands (1990).
