About Joseph Han

I have been playing D&D 5th edition for about five years and have primarily DMed published modules with my own modifications mostly for player backstory or for quality of life improvement. Some of my favorite campaigns to run and play include Curse of Strahd, Tales from the Yawning Portal, and Rime of the Frostmaiden. I view 5th edition as a storytelling game first, with mechanics and roleplay working together to support the story being told at the table.

How Joseph Han runs games

I run games largely rules as written with the rule of cool for flavor rather than mechanical advantage. I do not allow player-versus-player conflict, explicit romance, or gratuitous violence, as these are not themes I am interested in exploring. I also do not use game mechanics to punish players or “teach lessons” and find that player agency lies in the character they create.
