Sometimes an IRL friend wants to join your game or maybe a cool new GM friend that you met in the StartPlaying Discord. You're a cool human who doesn't want to charge them for this session.

What does the Add Player button do?

The Add Player button lets you add a player to your game for free. You can only add players who have a StartPlaying account.

When should I use the Add Player button?

You should only use the Add Player button if you are ok:

  1. Not charging them for a seat, and

  2. Automatically approving them in your game

The kinds of players you might want to use the Add Player button for are:

  • Friends

  • Family

  • Coworkers

  • Game Masters doing a seat swap
