Because your profile is one of the first things prospective players look at when booking a game, it’s incredibly important to make it the best possible!

This means the Personal Details section, the GM Stats section, and the Gaming Details section. If you’ve got any social links, put them in too!

One of the most important parts of your profile is your profile picture. The first tip is to set an actual photo of yourself as your profile picture. We’ve found that real photos do better than illustrations and logos in getting players to book your games.

Think of this like a dating profile where you want to make your profile picture give off the best impression of you.

You will notice the profile links at the top of the page. Feel free to customize your GM link!

Remember, however, that if you change your link, your old link will no longer work, and you’ll have to resend a new link to everyone who had your old one.

So if you're going to do it, I'd suggest doing it in the very beginning of your setup.

You need at least 5 reviews to show up in the Game Master Search. You can find more information on verified vs unverified reviews here.
