Makenzie De Armas

Makenzie "Mak" De Armas is an associate game designer at Wizards of the Coast. She is a writer on Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep, a campaign module published by Wizards of the Coast.

Her work on Call of the Netherdeep is inspired by her Filipino heritage, and she described the ability see the setting reflect her Southeast Asian identity as "important and cathartic". Among her other work, De Armas was a lead writer on Islands of Sina Una published by Hit Point Press, and a designer on The Dark Tides of Bilgewater tie-in with Legends of Runeterra published by Wizards of the Coast, and a designer on Matthew Colville's Kingdoms & Warfare. Since September 2020, she also appears as a player on Creature Collectors, an actual play produced by Critical Bard, who produced the theme for ''Critter Hug.

She first became interested in Dungeons & Dragons by binging Critical Role in her university apartment.
