Journey into the world of Mahl, where larger than life heroes can be smaller than expected! Run on the fast-paced Nimble system, this 80s homage sets the sprawling quests of Sword and Sorcery epics within the nostalgic realm of teen mall dramedies. Think “The Secret of NIMH” and “Redwall” crossed with “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

Featuring guest players Candace the Magnificent and Jenn De La Vega, this 5-episode series is sponsored by Nimble, a new, fast, tactical TTRPG.
