About me
Consistently one of the most recommended DM's on the site!!! Hello adventurers! I am Mallow, and I hope to be your new favorite DM. I have been playing 5e since 2015-2016 and have garnered a ton of DM experience through running Adventurers League (WotC organized play) at a local shop as well as the big conventions in Phoenix. My style tends to lead to comedy, humor and the "rule of cool" instead of dark, gritty, and RAW. A lot of my style focuses around putting a unique and intriguing twist on some of D&Ds most classic settings and campaigns.

GM Style
I like to keep a heavy focus on the player characters and how they feel like interacting with the greater world. My combat is tailored to the players I have, and I will often increase or decrease stat blocks to keep it challenging but fun. I want this to be an escape for my players, I am not here to rules lawyer or stop you from doing cool things, if there isn't a rule for it we will make one. All of my games are built out with full maps in Roll20 for each campaign, as well as additional maps ready for whatever mayhem the group may get into.

Great DM for less experienced players. Good at threading the needle between allowing creative solutions and player and keeping the game moving along.

Mallow is an insanely talented, creative, and thoughtful GM. Super patient, amazing at making new players feel welcome and confident while playing. The environment he creates in general is just so much fun, and I look forward to our campaign every week. I'm so happy I stumbled upon his game!

Kicked from Dragon Heist in one swift motion. Said he talked with the others and I believe it, but the adult thing to do is communicate. A Dear John letter is not communication.
