What Players Say
“Mal is an excellent DM who listens to his players. He is welcoming and accepting of everyone and keeps things well balanced at the table. As an avid RPer, he has even made combat fun and interesting for someone who normally dreads spending hours in it by keeping it fast paced, entertaining, and evolving. His enemies are not simple damage sponges, and act in interesting, dynamic ways. If you want a good DM that will listen to you and go along with your ideas, he is the guy.”
Cain Laurant
“Mal was the first person that GM'd for me so he had to teach me the rules from scratch. He is really good for beginners because he is really patient and understanding which made me feel super welcomed and passionate. He genuinely cares whether the whole party is having fun and enjoying the session. He can adapt to what the group wants, whether they prefer a role play heavy or combat heavy session. He is an amazing story teller and world builder as he always goes above and beyond to set the scene with music and lighting. Because of this I've joined multiple of Mal's campaigns and I'm still playing months down the line.”
Sergiu
“Honestly the best GM. Always makes sure that every player in the game gets a chance to shine, patient with new players, and with accidental rules lawyers. He has a voice for every NPC and you'll find yourself getting emotionally attached to the most unexpected characters. An amazing storyteller, and loves to allow for the rules of cool. Mal is a big fan of player collaboration too which is so fun if you have an idea for your character that you want to try out. 110% recommend!”

Character Journal
As Sirav begins to experience a life he was never allowed to have, the quiet moments become almost as frightening as the memories he cannot escape. Between the warmth of another’s presence and the ever-present threat of the Assembly, he is forced to confront a question he has spent years avoiding: what does freedom actually mean when you have forgotten how to live?

Alone beneath the moonlight, Varis confronts the voice that has shared his mind for years. But some questions have answers neither of them are prepared to hear.
Character Journal
As the old gods stir and the light begins to fade from Krynn's skies, Jallarzi finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. Her forgotten past, the strange pull of Mishakal, and the mysteries waiting beneath the mountain all point towards an uncomfortable truth: perhaps the greatest mysteries are not those buried beneath the earth, but those buried within ourselves.
