About the adventure
This winter solstice, the elite of the sprawling city of Baldur’s Gate are throwing a soirée at the gleaming trade spire, Platomi Nakaza. Sure, dark forces are in motion, but aren’t they always? As a weary adventurer returning from the wilds, you’re just looking forward to an evening of posh nibbles, corporate luxury and chitchat. What could go wrong? Welcome to the party, pal.

About me
As an organized and detail-oriented Game Master, I bring rich plot lines and immersive story elements to every campaign. I specialize in weaving player backstories seamlessly into the narrative to create cohesive, unforgettable adventures. With experience spanning decades—from my start with the Red Box Dungeons & Dragons to my deep love for 3.5 edition—I’ve honed my skills and storytelling craft over time. After returning to 5E three years ago, I’ve been hosting weekly online games that keep players engaged and coming back for more. Currently, I run campaigns using the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons rules on the Shard Tabletop Virtual Tabletop (VTT) platform. Let’s roll the dice and make stories come alive!

How DocApocalypse creates a safe table
We will go over any session zero concerns on my Discord prior to the game, take a 10-minute break at the halfway point, and nothing overtly sexual will take place during the game.
