   A map is a great idea, I'll add that to the roadmap. The In Person option does do a 20 mile radius (as the crow flies) around the city you've searched. Some others folks have mentioned wanting to adjust the radius, so I'll de

   When you create a campaign, there is some help text letting you know that you can choose "Other" and email info@roleplayful.com to add the game. I will try to make it easier and more obvious. That said, I've gone ahead and ad

   Actually 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 be

   Yes, the assumption is that you play the game on another platform. I don't have any plans to go in the TableTop Simulator, Roll20, etc direction because I'm a solo dev, that's a huge project, and they already do a great job.

   Which systems and editions would you like to see? Adding new ones is pretty trivial, the current list is based on my own (limited) market research of what is popular. I don't want to allow freeform text because I'm worried the sea

   I really like Roll20 + D&D Beyond.

   Yes, all great points that I've been thinking about. Thanks for checking it out and the link to Obsidian Portal (I hadn't heard of it before and it looks really cool).

   Nice! Make sure to do a saved search so you'll get notified when one by you is added. My goal for April is to get over 100 campaigns in the system :)

   Sure, send an email to info@roleplayful.com and I'll reach out when it's available.

    Definitely! I'm looking into sponsoring content creators and events like Gen Con.

    Sure, do you have any specific recommendations? I'm not sure I'm familiar with the indie rpg scene, I typically play D&D, Starfinder, and Fantasy Flight Star Wars.

    US limitation for In Person campaigns is just an MVP scope decision. International support is definitely on the roadmap.

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look. EDIT: Should be fixed now, thanks again.

    Great question. I chose to focus on tabletop RPGs because I wanted to focus on a niche I was personally familiar with. I'm bullish on the future of the space and would love to build tooling for game masters if the site catches on. That

    Thanks for the feedback! I will add Fate to the list. Great point about In Person, probably want to cast the widest net possible. I designed it this way so that there is at least 1 game to make sure it's hitting an index on the search,

    Hi everyone, I’ve been working on this project on and off for quite a while. In my experience, it can be tedious to find a game of Dungeons & Dragons if you don’t have an existing network of friends who play it. You have to trawl variou

    It literally does not matter. As long as you're consistent with whatever methodology you choose, it'll work as a forecasting tool. Fibonacci because humans find log scales more intuitive. Estimating anything but the simplest tasks

    These sound like just more platitudes without some example implementations.

    The work is never finished. The business (probably) existed before you and it will (probably) exist after you. Do what's best for yourself.

    This seems to be good for YC, bad for companies in YC. The value of YC, as far as I can tell, has been access to great advisors and a cohort of folks going through the same thing as you (maybe some other fringe benefits as well like discoun
