About me
I am Past, a forever DM with over 25 years of TTRPG and DMing experience with a deep love for game design and development. I am Future; I have over 17 years of experience with TTRPGs, courtesy of my best friend, Past. I have five years of DM experience and a penchant for acting and story craft. We run game separately and together, as the Two-Headed Dungeon Master. We offer a unique, immersive experience with smooth combat, a broad array of characters, each with their own voice and mannerisms, music and sound effects, a touch of homebrew, and twice the fun. Having two heads allows us to address player inquiries, create breakout rooms for party splits, and run larger groups and combat scenarios without slowing down the game! Dungeon mastering and storytelling is our greatest passion, and we look forward to seeing you in whatever realm you desire to adventure!
GM Style
We thoroughly enjoy roleplaying, not just voices, but developing motives and ideals for each NPC to help make them memorable, engaging, and realistic. We deliver thrilling tactical combat with high stakes where battlefield favor constantly shifts between heroes and villains. We strive to run a game where the action is always happening, and we don't get bogged down in the small stuff; that said, sometimes the minutia is necessary, and that is where the second head comes in handy to help keep the game pace rolling.

I am not usually one to write reviews, but my recent gaming session on StartPlaying absolutely commands commendation. If I were given the option, I would tag every positive aspect to describe this extraordinary gaming experience. It was nothing short of fantastic, with its incredible storytelling, expansive world-building, atmosphere-enhancing music, beginner-friendly environment, and welcoming inclusivity. The DMs understanding of the rules was top-tier, allowing for smooth and engaging gameplay. Yet, it was never a restrictive structure, but a backbone that supported and enhanced the experience. This combination of know-how and flexibility made the session accessible for players of any experience level. The storytelling, oh the storytelling. The narrative was so compelling I was completely engrossed. This kind of immersive gaming experience is what players dream about, but rarely find.

It was one shot of cooperative storytelling (my first) and I was a bit clunky. He helpled a lot and was great. I can't say anything about him running dungeons or so, but he makes an impression of great GM.

Justin always makes it a point to go above and beyond with his campaigns and put his entire heart into everything he does. His passion really shines through, which is what makes him an absolutely outstanding storyteller. The two-headed team together helps keep the flow of the game, monitor rules without disruptions and makes everyone want to come back for more. I'm so beyond honored to be a player <3
