About me

Hey there! I’m ABPAK, though you can just call me Dungeon Master. I've been behind the screen for over 2,000 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!

GM Style

As a Dungeon Master, my goal is to craft a world that feels alive, immersive, and reactive. I run 5th Edition (2014 rules) in the Forgotten Realms, staying true to its deep lore while ensuring every player feels like an integral part of the world. 🔹 Game Balance – I blend narrative-driven storytelling with tactical combat, ensuring that every session has a mix of roleplay, strategic battles, and world exploration. Expect challenging encounters, cinematic boss fights, and meaningful choices that shape the story. 🎭 Roleplaying & NPCs – Every character you meet has a unique voice, personality, and purpose. I bring NPCs to life through voice acting, lore knowledge, and dynamic interactions that make the world feel real. ⚔️ Combat & Challenges – I love epic battles, creative strategies, and tactical depth. Encounters are more than just hit points—they require teamwork, positioning, and smart decision-making. Whether you're facing a mind flayer cabal or a dragon in its lair, expect memorable, intense fights. 🌍 Worldbuilding & Lore – The Forgotten Realms is my home, and I love staying true to its stories, deities, and histories. If you're a lore fan, you’ll appreciate the details woven into the adventure. If you're new, I’ll introduce you to its rich depth. 📜 Player-Driven Storytelling – Your backstories matter. I incorporate player choices into the game, making sure that personal arcs feel just as rewarding as the main narrative. 🎶 Atmosphere & Presentation – Expect animated maps, immersive soundtracks, and hand-picked artwork to enhance every scene. I also improvise bardic songs when the moment feels right, adding a unique spark to roleplay-heavy moments. ⚖️ Rules & Adaptability – I generally run RAW (Rules as Written) to keep consistency, but I’m open to adjusting if it makes the game more fun, fair, and exciting. 📖 Seamless Gameplay📖 At my table, I use a fully integrated Foundry VTT setup (Like Baldur's Gate 3) that makes combat and gameplay incredibly smooth and intuitive. Players love it because it keeps the mechanics easy to use and quick to learn so you can focus on the adventure, not the rules! ✅ All abilities are at your fingertips – No need to dig through rulebooks or character sheets. Everything is just a click away. ✅ Wild Shape? No problem! – Just click the Wild Shape button, and Foundry will show you all your available forms instantly. ✅ Automated Rolls & Checks – Forgot a concentration check? Don’t worry—Foundry handles it for you. ✅ A Stress-Free Experience – You can lean back, enjoy the story, and immerse yourself in the world while the system takes care of the details. 💡 Save hours and hours: Because of how smooth and automated everything is, what would normally take hours in combat is reduced to minutes. With everything streamlined and automated, you get the best of both worlds—engaging roleplay and tactical combat—without the hassle of bookkeeping. If you love epic adventures, strategic combat, deep roleplay, Smooth Gameplay and a Forgotten Realms experience that feels alive, my table is the perfect place for you.
