About Valkyrie Hansen

Hello! I am a fantasy artist and writer who can’t seem to get enough D&D into my schedule. Any time I have a slot in my week, I’m looking for players to come play pretend and roll some dice. I’ve been DMing since 2019, and have been playing since 2011, but I would argue that the real start date was the moment I could hold a pencil. For me, TTRPGs are all about collaboratively building a world together and watching the dice tell a story in that world. So grab a pencil and let’s get building!

How Valkyrie Hansen runs games

I like to strike a balance between role play and exciting combats, but I try to tailor my DMing to the table I have. I love politics intrigues, I love tying player backstories into the narrative, and I LOVE a delicious twist or a shocking reveal. My main goal however, is to make sure that every player feels safe to express themselves, excited to play, and happy when you log off for the night. I make sure everyone is on the same page about safety tools, and I do my best to address concerns quickly and compassionately.

My games focus on...

Narrative, characters, and intense combat. I want you to feel as badass as your character is!

Valkyrie Hansen's ideal table

I like a table that is willing to laugh, but will still take the story seriously. I want you to really get in character, in or out of combat. I’m a laid back person and DM, but I do put a lot of work into my games and I expect my players to be invested. If you're the type of player to make character playlists, cry at the end of campaigns, and laugh when you roll 4 nat 1s in a row, my table is the place for you.

I love it when a player

Gives me a fun backstory to play with

I think min/maxing...

Can be frustrating, but isn’t necessary the worst thing. We’re all trying to build fun and powerful characters.

My table is not the place for...

Bigotry or Bullying of any kind.
