What are Special Events?

Special Events are events that StartPlaying hosts, partnering with conventions, charities, and TTRPG publishers to bring games to a wider audience. Often, these events will include a charity aspect, allowing GMs to donate a portion of their earnings to a charity!

How do I run a game for a special event?

  5. Once a session is scheduled, you'll see a new "ticket" icon on the session, indicating that it is for a special event!

Can I add an event to an existing session?

No, right now you can only join a special event when you schedule a new session. You cannot join an event with an existing game session.

How does payment work for charity events?

If you choose to have schedule a session as a part of a charity event with StartPlaying, we handle the donation for you! That month's charity will receive 100% of the booking for your game. If your players tip you for your charity event session, that money will also toward the charity.
