What is a Game System?

Game Systems are the rule mechanics you'll use during your game.

Some examples of different Game Systems:

  • Dungeons & Dragons 5e

  • Pathfinder 2e

  • Cyberpunk Red

  • Call of Cthulu

Each of these game systems has their own rules and mechanics that players use during the game.

What are the requirements for adding a Game Systems?

For a game system to be added, it needs to be an officially published system.

If the game is in beta/development, or is not published anywhere, we can't add it to our list.

How do I add a Game System?

You chat in with the StartPlaying Crystal Ball:

Let the Crystal Ball know you want to add a new system, and you'll fill out a ticket for our Support Goblins:

Or, you can send an email to support@startplayinggames.com, and with the following info:

  • The name of the game system

  • A link to the product page for the system

Why am I not seeing a game system on the "Find Games" page?

The full list of available systems is only available on the GM side, when editing/creating a Game Template.

If you're searching on the Find Games page, only the game systems that currently have games running for them will be shown.
