Career edit

Hank Woon began freelancing in 2003 with an adventure for the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons in Dungeon Magazine[3] #97 by Paizo Publishing.

He has written several adventures, articles, and sourcebooks for the Earthdawn, Age of Legend, and Pathfinder Roleplaying Game lines, including writing contributions to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook.[1]

In 2008, his first novel, Dark Shadows of Yesterday, was published by RedBrick LLC.

In 2009, Hank worked as an editorial intern with Paizo Publishing.[4]  In September 2009, his second Earthdawn novel, Immortal Twilight, was published by RedBrick LLC. The same month, Adamant Entertainment debuted its Pathfinder-compatible monster series, Fell Beasts, of which Hank was one of the authors.[5] They also announced Warpath, a game supplement designed by Hank featuring rules for mass combat for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system, released in May 2010.

In April 2013, it was announced that Hank Woon would be penning an original script for The Asylum called Age of Dinosaurs, for director Joseph J. Lawson. This marked Woon's third straight-to-DVD feature.

In October 2014, it was announced that Hank Woon would be co-writing the live-action script for It Came from the Desert with Finnish director Marko Mäkilaakso,[6][7] based on the cult classic video game by Cinemaware. It was also announced that Woon was hired to rewrite a script titled "Night of the Witch" by Roger!Pictures, to be directed by Finnish director Marko Mäkilaakso.[8] The rewrite was based on an original script written by Loyd Kaufman and Stan Lee.

In May 2017, an animated series on HitRecord titled USAI: The Complete Animated Series was released on HitRecord.org, of which Woon was a contributing writer.[9]

In July 2017, it was announced that Woon would be writing a new anthology series titled "Future Sex" for French digital media studio Blackpills.[10][11]

On February 23, 2021 both Variety and Deadline reported that Netflix picked up an original screenplay written by Woon titled Gordon Hemingway & The Realm of Cthulhu, which will be produced by Spike Lee and directed by Stefon Bristol, with Jonathan Majors in the title role.[12][13][14]
