Startplaying Reviews

Great site great service

Always great hundreds of amazing Dms easy to use

Great for getting a game of all kinds

I play in games on SPG and I also GM games on SPG so I have experienced their site from both sides of the screen It s very easy to get into both as a player and a game master The SPG support and tech teams are always on top of things when I have issues with the site players or GMs It s a great way to find a game that you want at a timeslot that works for you The UI on the site is constantly improving and they are always adding new features to streamline things The people working behind the scenes on SPG are wonderful people and very very passionate about what they do they care about their players and their GMs If I were to suggest ways for SPG to improve it would be to get a better system that allows people to request custom games Some GMs are out there looking for players for the system especially niche that they want to run and there are players who want to play in that system A match-making system for players would be great for SPG

Great way to get gaming

I ve found several great campaigns as well as one-shots through Start Playing Can t recommend them highly enough Even got to experience new to me systems like Monster of the Week and Candela Obscura

Great new player experience

Being a new player I had difficulty finding a game irl I started looking around the internet for groups but found it really difficult to get into groups that expected someone to know all the rules I was able to find StartPlaying and tried a free game It went really well especially since it was for new players The DM was very patient and was focused in making sure I didn t get overwhelmed with all the rules I then tried a paid game and that was even better as the DM was great at creating a story that incorporated rules very smoothly Over all I have enjoyed being able to not stress about being on a schedule and getting to join games with DM taht are professional and enjoy thier wirk

Pro GM and Player top notch experience

I am a professional GM that uses Startplaying Games and would be absolutely lost at sea without their support I use the site to host and play games and the support on each side is top notch I think there are some improvements in player search that can be made and a few tweaks here and there but the team is always innovating and rolling out new tech and methods of accountability SPG is the real deal StartPlaying Games changed my life and there isnt another place I would rather use to host or play games

Long-Term User of a Convenient System

Over the last few years I ve played more than sixty games using the StartPlaying service I ve never had an issue with payment or searching for a game though I will admit I am selective with my Game Masters and usually stick to a few whom I ve clicked with well I plan to finish my current long-term campaign over twenty games in about a week and am already considering looking for a new campaign Most games list their tech or character requirements ahead of time as well as potential content warnings and safety tools a big plus for me It s a good system in my eyes

Easily the best way to find a new game

Easy to navigate and understand site to find a ton of amazing Game Masters and fellow players of so many different systems and games Can find just about any group or game even a few fun niche ones Reliable service with consistent happy results when I ve used them

Useful and Relevant Service with Easy-To-Use Interface

StartPlaying Games addressed a need back in 2020 players and game masters alike were seeking an easier way to defeat the universal scheduling conflict that plagues us all The co-founders are great people and have hired even more great people to build out the site in a way that makes the user experience simple and straightforward As a player I appreciate having the world literally at my fingertips when searching for a session or campaign that fits my interests and availability and the game masters I have played with have been exceptional hosts with epic stories to share As a game master I have been able to support my family with my earnings from the site and StartPlaying saved me SO MUCH time recruiting and advertising for my games The players who have joined my tables have been amazing people from all over the world who enjoy collaborative story telling and creating epic memories with their teammates The company s support crew a k a the support goblins is incredibly helpful and serves the community of players and game masters with compassion and fairness and I have not yet had a negative experience resolving a site or payment issue
