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
“There are so many ways you can judge a GM with, and Mal will probably meet all criteria you might have. From chill banter (both in game and out) - to heart stopping climactic moments, Mal has delivered these scenes with excellence. There is one trait however that really does stand out, is that Mal has perfected the formula to make both you and your character feel at the heart of the story, at the crux of every decision made, even when the spotlight is not shined on you. You won't regret signing up. :)”
Eddie Abboud
“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 the heroes draw closer to the source of the corruption, Jallarzi begins to fear that the old stories were never stories at all.
Character Journal
Onyx is defeated. The Discs of Mishakal are recovered. For a moment, there is reason to hope. But victory has only raised a more terrifying question. If Onyx was merely an instrument, then who — or what — was holding the leash?
Character Journal
The battle is won, but Jallarzi finds little comfort in victory. As the last traces of Mishakal’s strange blue fire fade, unsettling questions begin to take shape — about the gods, the Cataclysm, and the true nature of those fighting alongside her.
