Your experiences can help players learns a GM's style, strengths, area of expertise, and what type of players might enjoy their games the most. So, your review could be the compass guiding fellow gamers toward their next unforgettable session!

Remember, when leaving reviews you should be honest, respectful, and specific. Your words are powerful tool in shaping our community, helping players find the right GM for them, and making sure our GMs provide epic adventures.
StartPlaying Review Policy
We're all here to enjoy our favorite games and have a blast, right? Part of that experience involves giving and receiving feedback. Let your GMs know what you think, but keep these pointers in mind:
Play Nice: Like in our games, everyone should feel safe and respected in our review section. Let's stick to our Code of Conduct. No mean comments, threats, or bullying, okay?
Keep It Real: Tell it like it is. Your review should be about your actual experience with the GM. Make sure it's honest and based on what really happened. No made-up stuff or exaggerations.
Watch Your Language: We're all friends here, so keep the conversation clean. No cursing or foul language, please. Constructive criticism is great, but let's do it respectfully.
Details, Details, Details: The more specific you can get, the better. What rocked about the game? What could be better? Instead of just saying, "It was good" or "It was bad," give more detail. It's way more helpful.
Privacy Rules: Remember not to share private info or personal stuff about your GM or other players. Let's keep the focus on the game.
If a review breaks these rules, we might have to take it down. And if it keeps happening, there might be even more significant consequences, like banning your account.
So, let's keep things fun, fair, and respectful. Your feedback is mega important. It helps our GMs get better and helps other players know what to expect. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Happy gaming!
