I am a professional GM that uses Startplaying.Games and would be absolutely lost at sea without their support.
First, As a "forever GM" I started as a player when I wanted to find a safe place for me and my kiddo to play online. Found a GM that delivered and everything was and is super easy and straightforward player side.
Shortly after I started GM-ing there and have been full time going into year 4 in December (time of review May 2024). Ive seen some reviews here that say they take a huge chunk and thats just not true. For 10% of what I charge a player I get advertising, payment processing, security, and support from an amazing and active team. That is peanuts for a small biz owner like me to pay for a suite of services that I just dont need to think about. I think there are some improvements in player search that can be made and a few tweaks here and there but the team is always innovating and rolling out new tech and methods of accountability. SPG is the real deal.
StartPlaying.Games changed my life and there isnt another place I would rather use to host or play games.
