About me
I'm Apollo, a game master with about 20 or so years of tabletop gaming experience, and I've spent the majority of those years as the GM. My tables are often places focused on story-telling, collaboration, and a fun atmosphere. I let the dice help us a tell a story and use the rules as a guide through our worlds. The experience at my table is sometimes scary, sometimes epic, sometimes silly, sometimes heartwarming, but, I think, always fun. I have played a wide variety of systems, including Shadowrun 4th Edition, Vampire: The Masquerade, Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 and 5e, Pathfinder 1e, and GURPS 4th edition. All told, I've been playing story driven games of all types for about 30 years. My games have run the gambit from totally homebrewed settings with creative world building and development to running published adventures and campaigns. I have experience in, and enjoy, a wide array of genres, settings, forms, and styles. I've built and run games in varying granularity, but always with an eye to the characters achieving thrilling heroics and fun shenanigans. I find self-defined originality to be as cliche as a knight storming a castle and recognize the unpretentious fun present in both. I'm drawn to all elements of the medium, with a strong emphasis on characters, story, and the narrative experience. Having said that, I prefer my tables and my tales to have a destination or story in mind, with characters having arcs and moving through a storied world, rather than simply trying to live in one world for too long. I have run groups as small as two and as large as 12, but I tend to prefer 4 or 5 as the max these days. Additionally, I find that I don't mesh well with extreme optimizers and min-maxers. I'm not interested in solving the math of the game, I'm not one to indulge a power fantasy purely as power fantasy, rather I'm interested in telling stories, compelling, comical, heroic, and, frankly, fun. Finally, outside of gaming and game mastering, I'm always looking to learn something new. I've two degrees, a Bachelor's and a Master's, and am a devout Christian. I'm interested in re-enchanting the world, and telling stories as part of my larger personal mission.

Creating your character
We will make characters as a group at Session 0 and work together to generate a team that works well together and fits the setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To prepare, players will need a free Discord account (and mic) for voice. A free Roll20 account for VTT, and that's about it. If you're like me, you may also want access to a set of classic polyhedral gaming dice. Additionally, if you want to use PathCompanion, you will need an account there (free): https://pathcompanion.com/.
What Apollo brings to the table
From me you can expect character voices (of varying quality, haha), Roll20 (plus) level details including dynamic lighting and maps, as well as tokens, and a discord space. My GM style is one that is consistent and fair when it comes to the application of the rules. If anything, I'm looking to join in the fun and tell an engaging story.. I generally also try to intertwine character backstories, etc.

Safety
How Apollo creates a safe table
At our Session 0 we will discuss the expectations for content, etc. and can use breakout rooms as necessary. Additionally, we will build characters together, and develop our considerations for post session debriefs. We'll also discuss whether we want to play with or without cameras and how everyone feels about the options. Additionally, we can add more safety tools if the players feel a need for more. Moreover, alongside building characters, we'll discuss some of the recent game world events leading up to the adventure and review some important topics of the game world, depending, of course, on player experience level, etc.
