About me

Greetings, adventurers—and welcome to the table where stories come alive and legends are born. 🎲 I am Lord Malachi Draven—your dedicated Game Master for hire, storyteller, and architect of realms where legend, danger, and desire entwine. Whether you're seeking epic fantasy, seductive intrigue, or pulse-pounding encounters, I’ll be your guide through adventures forged in fire, fate, and imagination. 🧙‍♂️ My love of worldbuilding was shaped by the sprawling landscapes of The Elder Scrolls and the rich, character-driven narratives of Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age, and other legendary RPGs. These games didn’t just entertain me—they taught me the power of choice, consequence, and collaborative storytelling. That same philosophy fuels every game I run. 🔮 At my table, the dice tell stories—ones that test your courage, tempt your curiosity, and leave your party begging for "just one more hour." Every session is tailored to your group’s playstyle, whether you crave deep roleplay, tactical combat, or cinematic storytelling with a flair for the dramatic. ⚔️ I welcome all players—from first-time adventurers to grizzled veterans. My sessions are inclusive, immersive, and designed to give everyone a moment to shine. Whether you prefer kingdom-shaking politics, monster-slaying dungeon crawls, or roleplay-rich character drama, you’ll find a story worth telling—and remembering. 🌌 The table is set. The dice are ready. Adventure awaits. Let’s roll!

GM Style

🎶 Cinematic Immersion: Expect a carefully curated blend of visuals, music, and narration that brings the world to life. From ambient soundscapes to stylized maps, every element is designed to pull you deeper into the story. ⚔️ Challenging Combat: Combat at my table is fast-paced, cinematic, and built to test your party’s wits, teamwork, and resourcefulness. Expect dynamic battlefields, smart enemies, and encounters that make you fight hard—and feel every victory. 🎭 Character-Driven Roleplay: Roleplay is at the heart of my games. Whether you're brokering alliances or unraveling personal backstories, you'll find endless opportunities to develop your character and shape the world around them. 🧩 Tactical Challenges & Clever Puzzles: From arcane riddles to trapped vaults and social conundrums, my sessions reward both creativity and clever thinking. And if your party gets stuck, I keep things moving with adaptive solutions. 🧰 Fully Equipped for Adventure: Every session runs through a finely tuned digital toolkit. Tools and features include: -- Foundry VTT enhanced with 50+ curated modules for animated maps, custom abilities, and cinematic spell effects. -- Immersive music, ambience, and sound effects via dScryb Opus. -- Explore a rich web of lore through Legend Keeper. -- Full access to every book I own on D&D Beyond. -- Discord for voice, coordination, and between-session fun. -- I even write original songs about campaigns and characters and use Suno to produce the music. Theme songs for all! With dynamic NPC voices, polished prep, and streamlined systems, all you need to bring is your imagination!
