About Matthew J. Hanson
I have been playing RPGs for more than thirty years. I love big games like D&D and Pathfinder as well as indie and story focused games. I’ve run games in person and online, including home campaigns, one-shots, and convention games. I love gaming and bringing new people into the hobby. I am a professional game designer. I created the all-ages RPG Magical Kitties Save the Day, and have written for major companies like Paizo and Onyx path. I also run a small publishing company called Sneak Attack Press. When not running playing games, I’m a stay-at-home dad and author of science fiction and fantasy with short stories published or forthcoming in Escape Pod and the Common Bonds Volume 2.
