About me
Hey there! I’m ABPAK, though you can just call me Dungeon Master. I've been behind the screen for over 3,000 hours, running 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons in the Forgotten Realms—a world full of rich lore, timeless legends, and countless adventures. What I love most about DM’ing is the chance to create immersive worlds where stories come to life. I’m passionate about bringing players on epic journeys where every choice matters, and the world responds in unexpected ways. Whether it's a tense standoff with a dragon or a heartfelt conversation with an NPC, my goal is to craft a story that feels alive and personal. My games blend tactical, strategic combat with deep roleplaying and worldbuilding. I use animated maps, custom artwork, and immersive soundtracks to bring the world to life, making sure every encounter feels cinematic and meaningful. And yes, I’m a huge fan of character voices—every NPC you meet has their own distinct voice, personality, and quirks, so you’ll never feel like you’re talking to a cardboard cutout. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a new player just starting out, I pride myself on creating inclusive and welcoming spaces where everyone can have fun, collaborate, and tell unforgettable stories together. If you're looking for a game where the stakes are high, the adventures are epic, and the roleplay is just as important as the dice rolls, let's roll some dice and create an adventure you'll never forget!

How ABPAK creates a safe table
🛡️ Safety Tools & Gameplay Details I prioritize a safe and inclusive gaming environment by using the following safety tools: ⏸️ Breaks: Players can call for a break at any time, no questions asked. Regular breaks will also be scheduled. 🗣️ Debriefing: After each session, we’ll have a short debrief to discuss highlights, concerns, and any adjustments needed for future sessions. 📜 Lines and Veils: A shared document will be provided where players can list hard limits (Lines 🚫) and topics that should be handled with caution (Veils ⚠️). This will be reviewed and updated as needed. 🚪 Open Door Policy: Your well-being is important. Feel free to step away from the game if needed. 🎭 Session 0 In Session 0, we will: 🛑 Discuss Lines and Veils and any other safety tools players would like to use. 🌍 Go over setting expectations, themes, and tone of the game. 🎲 Review character creation and party dynamics. ✅ Establish boundaries for roleplay and consent in gameplay. 💙 Aftercare & Ongoing Safety ❌🔶⭕ X, N, and O signals will be used digitally (via chat or messaging) and can also be communicated verbally or visually (e.g., held up on video). 💌 If any concerns arise, players are encouraged to reach out privately. 🤝 The game is a collaborative experience, and adjustments can always be made to ensure everyone is comfortable and having fun.
