About Justin Gagliani
Hey gang! I'm a co-host of the "So You Wanna Be a DM" podcast and run our start-up business, SYWBADM! I've been writing and running my own adventures with D&D 5e for years now! I love telling fun and dynamic stories with a group of people. I usually lean towards comedy and have been called (as a compliment) a more affordable Brennan Lee Mulligan. My goal is to use TTRPGs to tell stories in settings that feel new and exciting. Together, let's push the boundaries of what's expected! You want high fantasy with lords, knights, and the like; that's GREAT! But what about also modern magical cities? Or teeny, tiny, critters who live inside the walls? What about a mythical college setting? Let's get wild!

People are always surprised when I tell them
that Platypuses can lay eggs and that an egg-laying mammal is called a Monotreme. And THAT's why the first villain in the first actual play we ever put on was named Dr. Monty Monotreme and he was a platypus man!
How Justin Gagliani runs games
As a GM, I love for games to be 50/50 roleplay and combat. Some sessions may lean heavily in one direction, but the campaigns should be a solid mix of the two. However, I have and do love running games that tip the scales slightly towards roleplay as well! I love doing character voices and creating an immersive experience for everyone! As stated earlier, I do lean towards comedy, something akin to a Dimension 20 vibe. But similar to them, we can also get dramatic as well.
Justin Gagliani's ideal table
Fun, empathetic, engaged, and diverse. We're all here to have fun and the best way to do that is to hold that mutual respect for one another. When we create a safe and comfortable place, we can let loose and tell a beautiful and hilarious story!
