We Need Game Masters.
From Dungeon Masters to Keepers of Arcane Lore, we want your storytelling prowess and ability to keep the game rolling to help lead our tables.
Why Run With Us
We provide resources for GMs to find games, and support them in their development in ways where they actually feel supported by the community.
Run The Systems You Love
Published modules, homebrews, wild indie games nobody's ever heard of... Doesn't matter: we see your vision! Pitch it. If it fits the mission, we'll make it happen.
Real People, Real Support
Tag-team GM peer support, a clear run-of-show, and organizers who actually answer questions. You're never alone out there in the mean streets of TTRPG.
Recognition Where It Counts
Spotlight features on the site and socials, comp access to events, seasonal GM get-togethers. Welcome to a community that knows your name, lore, and legend.
Growth Over Time
Post-event debriefs, new systems workshops, mentoring for GMs who want to push beyond their comfort zone. We invest in the people who invest in us.
What We're Looking For
We score applicants on six criteria. NOTE: Safety is always of the utmost importance.
Must Haves
- Rules Confidence — Know your system well enough to run without constant handbook breaks. Referencing rules is fine; getting lost in the handbook mid-session isn't.
- Player Management — You know how to make sure everyone gets their moment, keep energy up, and handle the player that tend to take up all the air at the table.
- Safety First — Lines & Veils, X-Card, Script Change. These aren't an optional ceiling, they're the floor. You use them without being prompted.
- Adaptability — Pacing adjustments, story pivots, homebrewing on the fly, and keeping cool when things go pear-shaped.
- Communication — Professional before, during, and after sessions. Open to critique, and a genuine rep for our community.
- Culture Fit — You're here for the players. Our community is well diverse, and often new to TTRPGs. A "for-the-players" approach is non-negotiable.
Cool to Have
- Fluent in multiple systems (especially D&D, Pathfinder, and/or narrative-first games).
- Public GM experience (cons, LGS events, organized play).
- Accessibility awareness: cognitive, sensory, or mental/behavioral health experience.
- Writing, improv, or acting background.
- Ability to run both published adventures and original scenarios
- Bi-lingual or experience with multilingual tables.
How It Works
From application to your first session — here's the full path.
Apply
Fill out the form below. Tell us about your systems, your style, and pitch us a scenario.
We Review
Our team goes through every application. You'll hear back within two weeks.
The Convo
A 30-45 minute casual interview. We'll talk experience, safety, and how you handle common table situations.
Onboarding
Offer letter via email, welcome packet with logistics, Session -0 with organizers.
You Run
Your first session at a TTRPGH table. Your GM buddy is there. We're there. You've got this.
We Grow
Post-event debrief, player & GM feedback, and the beginning of an ongoing partnership.
Choose Your Adventure
We have three distinct GM roles — you can fill one, two, or all three depending on your availability and style.
One-Shot GM
Self-contained, single-session adventures. Great for GMs who want flexibility without a long-term commitment. Make a Dexterity check, run one night, done.
Campaign GM
Multi-session arcs with recurring players and longer-term storytelling. For GMs with Constitution who want to build and commit to something over time with the same group.
Demo GM
Your specialty is the first session. You run "intro to TTRPGs" nights and make newcomers feel welcome. Wisdom and Charisma are your strongest attributes.
What We Run
You don't need to know all of these. Deep knowledge in one or two primary systems is enough to get started.
