I had always wanted to play D&D but I live in a pretty remote area. I've now played in over 100 sessions because of StartPlaying!

StartPlaying literally introduced me to some of my best friends. I get so excited for game night each week. I'm so happy to have found this group and my Dungeon Master!

I had tried to find games on Reddit before I knew about StartPlaying, and they never worked out. It wasn't until I came to StartPlaying that I actually found a game and group!
