About Mac of Fables

Hey, I’m Mac of Fables — a storyteller, game developer, and lifelong world-builder who believes every table should feel like a story worth remembering. I run games with a focus on emotion, immersion, and atmosphere. Whether it’s a whisper in the dark, a laugh around the fire, or a desperate roll to survive the night, my goal is to make players feel something. Outside of GMing, I design indie games that blend narrative depth with cinematic tension — experiences that invite players to laugh, fear, and connect. Every campaign I run carries that same energy: rich worlds, real emotion, and unforgettable choices. If you’re looking for a Game Master who loves character-driven storytelling, dynamic sound design, and collaborative drama, you’ve found your table. Come step into the story.

People are always surprised when I tell them

I was an animator before I started working on my own games. I worked on quite a few Netflix shows.

When I'm not running games I'm...

working on developing my own video games and trying as many new coffee drinks as I can

How Mac of Fables runs games

I run my games like living stories — part film, part collaboration, and entirely immersive. My focus is on emotion, atmosphere, and player agency. I use character voices, cinematic narration, and dynamic soundscapes to make every moment feel alive. The tone often shifts between laughter and tension, giving players the full emotional spectrum of adventure and horror. I favor Rule of Cool over strict RAW — if your idea feels true to your character and adds to the scene, I’ll help you make it happen. Combat is meaningful, not constant, and every encounter carries weight in the story. Above all, my GM style is about connection and memory — making sure that when the session ends, you walk away with moments that stick with you long after the dice stop rolling.

Mac of Fables's ideal table

At my table, the story comes first. I create a space that feels like stepping into a living film — where music, narration, and roleplay blend into something unforgettable. I welcome both new and experienced players who love immersion, emotion, and creativity over min-maxing or rule lawyering. We laugh, we panic, we roleplay our hearts out — and by the end, it always feels like a shared story worth remembering. If you enjoy cinematic storytelling, gothic fantasy, and character-driven moments, you’ll fit right in. Respect, collaboration, and imagination are the only requirements. My table is a place for connection — where every player matters and every decision leaves a mark.
