Very cool. I played D&D when I was a teenager but never actually did a campaign, instead we sort of made characters then joked around and rolled some dice with no coherent story.
Back in November there was another Show HN for https://startplaying.games https://startplaying.games , did you create this at all in response to that being all premium, paid for games? I signed up for Start Playing, and have been doing an absolutely amazing campaign with a DM who is a published fantasy author and an all around great guy. It’s $30 a week but hey, good help is hard to find.
I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about playing online tabletop with random people, do you think you could add some sort of review or rating system between players? It might cut down on some of the toxicity.
- dyeje 6y agoActually my original concept was very close to startplaying.games! I ended up not pursuing it because: 1. I did a survey and it seemed like paid GMing was not ready for primetime yet, you can read about it in this blogpost [1]. 2. I have been working on this by myself extremely slowly by myself since 2018. In the past year I've gotten more serious about trying to build micro-SaaS businesses. I decided to cut scope, focus on discovery, and just launch the darn thing to see where it goes. I've been pretty lucky myself playing with strangers, but yes a rating system is definitely something I'm considering and was one of the topics in that survey I mentioned earlier.
