About Mallory Haulcomb

Hi there! I'm a professional Game Master with over 10 years of experience running and playing a wide variety of tabletop RPGs. While I have the most hours in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, I've also enjoyed exploring and GMing a range of other systems—from rules-light storytelling games to crunchy mechanics-heavy systems—for both adults and kids alike. As a GM, my role is to craft engaging, collaborative stories that bring your characters to life while keeping the table inclusive, immersive, and fun. I don’t include body horror or sexual themes in my games, and I always begin with a Session 0 to establish boundaries, tone, and expectations so everyone feels comfortable and excited to play. By trade, I’m an attorney—but my real passion lies in storytelling, worldbuilding, and the incredible shared creativity that tabletop RPGs make possible. Whether you're new to the hobby or a seasoned adventurer, I’d love to help you tell your next great story.

How Mallory Haulcomb runs games

In my games, you’ll find a balanced mix of crunchy mechanics and character connection. I love running tables where players can immerse themselves in the world and their characters, while still enjoying cinematic moments that make sense within the rules and setting. I’m not too bendy with the rules—I like them to matter—but I also believe in keeping the game fun and flowing. I aim for a fun-loving table with plenty of laughter and creativity, all grounded in the internal logic and tone of the setting. Whether it’s a gritty political intrigue or a whimsical high-fantasy adventure, I keep things consistent and immersive while making sure everyone gets to contribute meaningfully. I value both the tactical satisfaction of a well-played combat and the emotional payoff of a roleplayed character arc.
