What Players Say

Testimonials

“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!”

Alice

“Mal is an excellent DM! I've played in his in-person campaigns for almost a year now, and he never fails to create an amazing session. Be it homebrew or module, Mal can make any session memorable with fun encounters, immersive storytelling, and intense combat sequences. 12/10, would highly recommend.”
