D&D - Frontiers of Fortune

Apoc’s game is simultaneously part of Forgotten Realms and yet apart from it: Set in an earlier timeline than most games and on a strange, newly identified island with everything still to discover and explore - each new hex can bring new dangers, old dangers, mysteries or bizarre encounters. Numerous house rules build on the core 5e ruleset to create an immersive experience where your intrepid explorers need to find and keep track of more resources than just spell slots or arrows, such as food items or spell components. All using a Foundry VTT with countless additional modules and features to further engage the players.

Do you like challenging combat! Lots of homebrewed loot? Homemade magic items! Then these games are for you!

Apoc delivered an expertly crafted campaign derived from the world which existed during the events of the first Baldur's Gate videogame title. Amid the backdrop of BG1's main quest happening in the background, our party was one of the many groups of people living and adventuring during this snapshot of sword-coast history. It was no small feat which Apoc accomplished, to have created a story parallel with the one from BG1 but never intersecting on more than a few occasions. It demonstrated a passion for storytelling and an appreciation for that game which carried over into his style of DMing. And his ability to create balanced and well-thought-out homebrew was exemplified in his faithful, but also sensible, integration of older edition items and enemies into the 5e format. I would strongly recommend this DM to my friends, and would eagerly play his campaigns again in the future should the opportunity arise.

Apoc is a great storyteller, being able to organically role play on the fly. They set the mood every session with appropriate music, visuals, and highly detailed maps that the players were encouraged to explore. What I greatly enjoyed about Apoc as a Game Master was their ability to intertwine player characters' backstories into the over arching story. My character felt apart of Apoc's world from beginning to end. Not only that, my character got to learn what Apoc's world had in store for them. It was an emotional, gruesome, and courageous adventure.

I have played with Apoc for a few years and he is always very creative and fun to play with. Apoc is quite good at weaving fun twists and turns into a story that always keep you on your toes wondering what is next. He is also very knowledgeable about how whatever system he is running at any given point.

Hands down, one of the best GM's I've ever had. He makes every session feel fresh and new —his combat, storytelling and NPCs make for a really great time, and all the unexpected twists keep us enthralled. Can’t wait for each session!
