Summer Testimonial Image

Jumping into a D&D game is NOT supposed to be so freaking intimidating! This is why StartPlaying is so awesome! It clears the path straight to a game that fits your schedule, your style, even matches your vibe, with a welcoming Dungeon Master totally down to teach you and show you the way. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Covis Testimonial Image

After binge-watching 100+ hours of D&D gameplay, I was so excited to play for the first time, but didn’t know how to find a table/group to play with. The internet did it’s magic and showed me an ad for StartPlaying. Within a week, I had joined a one-shot that led me to meet the awesome folks I play with weekly in different campaigns and one shots! StartPlaying for the win!

Becky Testimonial Image

I started looking for a game to join on SPG in February 2023 with minimal experience. I found an amazing group of veteran players that were so incredibly welcoming and have allowed me to grow as a player, both creatively and mechanically. As I’ve joined various one-shots and additional campaigns, it’s been such a fantastic journey to find these communities of creative DMs and fellow players of all experience levels.
