About me
Discord for inquires : Hanen#1570 Hi everyone I'm Hanen! I've been DMing for 4-5 years now at a local children’s shelter. I enjoy creating a world for my players to live out their fantasies. I first picked up DMing while finding a way to bridge the gap between children who have gone through tough times to open themselves up to the world again & found D&D to be extremely useful as a form of play therapy. The kids who have their childhood taken away from them get to live out their fantasies in make-believe It was perfect & they enjoyed every session. I taught myself how to play starting with a very barebones system that I came up with myself and slowly moving on to D&D 5E after discovering it through research. I was hooked after that. Then the Pandemic came and I stashed my books. While I’m not able to play locally as much as I’d like to anymore, I’ve decided to move my table to an online community & I’m looking forward to playing some great games with Y’all~ ---------------------------------------- Special Bookings for Groups Here are the adventures I'm able to run - Phandelver & Below : The Shattered Obelisk - Dragon of Icespire Peak - Vecna: Eve of Ruin - Quests from the Infinite Staircase

GM Style + Relaxed comfy-at-the-table vibes + Rules on the side of fun while keeping things balanced + Big fan of High Fantasy & JRPGs settings (Think Flying Whales & Glowing Magical Trees that light up at night) + Love working with players, making their fantasy characters come to life in my world. + Roleplay over combat 60/40 -Not a Voice actor -Makes bad puns

Hanen is awesome. He encourages roleplay and his battles are engaging and encourages thinking outside. The world feels alive with many npcs available to interact with. The story is good and keeps me coming back.

Fun time that focuses on what the player wants to do. Really gives the player agency to tell their story. Uses roll20 well and communicated effectively.

Hanen is creative and has built an adventure that has twists and turns that keep everyone guessing. His encounters are dynamic and contain unique mechanics that make battles more than just a slugfest. He's been able to integrate our characters' backgrounds into the story line making the goals and objectives much more personal. As a DM he is fair and willing to discuss mechanics and decisions with the players.
