Your Game Master profile is one of the first things players see before booking a game. A complete, high-quality profile helps players feel confident booking with you.
Fill Out Everything On Your Profile
Make sure that every section of your GM Profile is filled out. The more information players have, the better they can get to know you and your GMing style.
You’ll also notice a Custom Booking section. If you fill out this section, a button will appear on your profile letting players book you directly for custom games.
Choose a Great Profile Picture
Your profile picture is one of the most important parts of your profile!
Some best practices:
Use a real photo of yourself
Avoid logos or illustrations
Make sure the image is:
High quality
Well-lit
Not blurry or grainy
Bright, clear photos tend to perform better than dark or low-quality images.
