You need to be a verified Game Master to get listed in the Game Master Search.

To become a verified Game Master, you need 5 things:

  1. A fully filled-out profile

  2. At least 5 reviews

  3. Create at least one game template

    1. The template must be approved

  4. Create an Adventure

  5. Schedule at least one session in that adventure

Filling out your GM Profile

Start off by filling out your GM profile completely. This will be what players see when your games are listed or when searching for you specifically. Learn more about setting up your profile here.

Create a Game Template

Game Templates are the outlines of your Adventures. Creating a game template is the first step in being able to schedule adventures and get booked for games.

Remember that game templates are just a setup for the types of games you plan to run. Players will never see our templates; that is what Adventures are for. Learn how to create a game template here.

Create and schedule an Adventure

Once your Game Template is approved, you will need to create an Adventure with it. Adventures are what players can see and book. More than 95% of our players book games through Adventures. Learn more about creating and scheduling an adventure here.

Set Up Your Payouts

Setting up your payouts will allow you to easily cash out the money you have earned from games directly to your bank account! Learn more about payments here.

Getting Reviews

You must have at least 5 approved reviews (verified or unverified). You can get reviews from people you have played with before joining StartPlaying, with folks you run free games for, and verified reviews from people who play in your StartPlaying paid games. You can find out more about reviews here.

If you follow these simple steps, you will be up and running in no time on the Game Master Search!
