Congratulations on launching! One thing - allow me to select a time zone and see game schedules in my local timezone... I'm currently playing in a group that's transferred from in-person to videochat - as we're several players that have moved to different cities (same timezone) and a GM who's emigrated to Canada (we're on GMT+1/2 depending on DST). It can work - but please make it easier to figure out - avoiding the need to calculate offset :) I used to work nights a few years back, and I'm sure I'd love to be able to join games after work (before the weekend) - say 8 am local time... Other than that, maybe a bit more information for potential GMs?

Hi e12e! We actually show all games in your local timezone based off your browser. Do you think you'd still want to be able to change your timezone knowing that? Also, what are some details you'd want to see about potential GM's, we're always looking to flesh out more details for our users.

  Oh, I guess the join this campaign field is free-form then: https://startplaying.games/join-campaign/star-wars-echoes-in-the-force-ffg-1602570689833x692181185939374100 https://startplaying.games/join-campaign/star-wars-echoes-in... I see the other times appear to be local (although a timezone would be comforting to make it more obvious). And personally, I'd love a 24h display option. Re: GM - I was thinking along the lines of expectations etc - as this is (potentially) something players will be paying for. I'm sure I'm not the only veteran player/GM who's never really considered charging money for GMing (well, directly I did "teach" rpg as an elective subject for half a year).

    Ah yes, we def want to change that to be dynamic for campaigns! We will need to def need to make timezones more apparent. Thanks for these suggestions!

      Also a heads up on the upcoming end of DST, which falls on different dates in the US vs EU at least
