About me
I'm a GM with roughly 10 years of experience with an expertise in story writing. I've run hundreds of custom games that specialize in backstory incorporation and building the world along with the players. If you have a crazy (read "broken") idea, I am an expert in balancing - rebalancing and evolving! RPGs are social foremost, and I love meeting new people and getting everyone on the same page. I'm a little tough as a DM, but new players always appreciate the clarity and fairness I bring to the table, and old players love the surprises and respect to everyone involved. My favorite thing is introducing new people to the hobby, and at this point I've worked out the kinks to ensure your first time is a fun time! www.4Storygames.com

Apelles is a GM who knows how to make world feel alive and make your characters feel integral to the world. He always finds a way to shock me and make me think on my feet and is always fun to sit at the table with. I would play in every game he had if I had the time.

Amazing story building, he can weave any story line he wants to pull is further into the depths of his campaign. Let's us be our authentic self but at the same time let's are PC be themselves and goes them in a directionof needed.

If you're looking for a professional Dungeon Master who can guide you through a world of dark mystery and danger while also fostering meaningful connections and honing your social skills, look no further than Apelles. Their expertise in the game of Dungeons & Dragons is unparalleled, and they have an uncanny ability to create a hauntingly beautiful world that draws you in and keeps you hooked from start to finish. During our session, I found myself fully immersed in the game and completely invested in the journey ahead. The challenges we faced were not only thrilling but also gave us the chance to work together as a team and strengthen our communication skills. And through it all, Apelles provided expert guidance and support, ensuring that we had a truly unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a Dungeon Master who can help you develop your social skills, foster meaningful connections, and lead you on an unforgettable adventure, look no further than Apelles. Highly recommend! #DND #DungeonMaster #Review #SocialSkills #Connection #Adventure #Teamwork #Mystery.

Apelles creates excitement and maintains a thoroughly entertaining atmosphere every time he DMs. He never falters if players get off track, he just politely and intelligently adjusts or gently guides us back. He's amazing with both experienced and new players. I have absolutely nothing but high praise and appreciation for this DM!
Character creation
Creating your character
I have sooooooo many books and materials. Just contact me at least an hour before game time and I can usually make a great character with you. If you have a character already, Great! The setting is flexible and most characters have a place in the Thousand Thirds!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Webcam and Mic are preferred, but Mic only is fine. Rules and character creation can be handled beforehand quite easily. Especially if you are new. Programs and online resources and complete rule knowledge come with time. I'll handle most of it and we'll get you connected bit by bit over time!
What GMApelles brings to the table
I specialize in plot writing more than anything and love integrating characters into a setting or story. While I improvise with the best of them, I use tons of maps, music, and fun lil extras to build an immersive experience. I also can tailor the level of "in deep" I bring, working hard to make both casual and hardcore players feel welcome.

How GMApelles creates a safe table
All Thousand Third one shots follow the same 3 rules. 1. No Talking Over Each Other: This is the equivalent of taking your little brother's controller. This whole game is talking. Please let everyone play. 2. "That's what my character would do" is an insufficient excuse for bad behavior. Build a better character. 3. This is a Game: A. You can be better or worse at it. You can die. The dice can ruin a great plan. My job as your DM is to help you improve at playing the game, but it is still a game. B. It is a game. It is not more important than any of the players at the table. I made the whole world. You may find something makes you feel squeamish, offended or uncomfortable. I wrote it, I can un/rewrite it. I'm not married to it. Changing the game in the middle is a feature of guided RPGs not a bug. Make sure you are enjoying the game to the fullest!
