In February 2025, we launched our Insights page for Game Masters. This page gives Game Masters a look into their standing on the website across 5 different metrics for the last 14 days.
This page is something that will evolve and change as the website evolves and changes! If you feel like anything is not accurately reflecting your GMing, or you have feedback about what or how things are presented, please send an email to support@startplayinggames.com.
5 Metrics on Your Insights Page
First Session Reliability
First Session Reliability measures how reliably you are able to quickly get players into your games, after they request to join. Players who have a verified session with you within 14 days of their request to join the game will positively impact this metric, so do your best to respond quickly, and get new players started as soon as possible!
Retention Rate
Retention Rate measures if your players are continuing to play more sessions, either with you, or another GM on StartPlaying. Players who book another game on the site within 14 days of their last transaction with you will increase your Retention Rate. Always give your players an awesome experience at your table, encouraging them to want to play again, and your Retention Rate will continue to go up!
Onboarding Success Rate
Onboarding Success Rate measures how likely a brand new player is to play in a second session after their first game on StartPlaying. If you are the first GM that a player plays with on the site, and they have a second verified session within 14 days of their first one, your Onboarding Success Rate will be positively impacted.
Tilt Rate
Tilt Rate measures how reliably you are able to quickly start a game, after the first player requests to join. Adventures that have at least one verified session within 14 days of the first player requesting to join, will positively impact this metric, so always do your best to get games started quickly once a player requests to join!
Time to Tilt
Time to Tilt measures the time it takes for a game to have its first verified session, after the first player requests to join. The sooner you are able to get a game started with your players, the better this number will be!
Do these metrics impact my searchability on StartPlaying?
No, these 5 metrics do not impact your searchability. They are pieces of information for you to use as you fine tune your Professional GMing craft.
Can other people see my GM Insights page?
No, these 5 metrics are only visible to you. Your players and other Game Masters cannot see these stats.
