Full Job Description
STARTPLAYING At StartPlaying, we're on a mission to build communities through play. We believe that being a Game Master (GM) isn't just a hobby; it's the best gig economy job in the world. Whether you're running epic tabletop campaigns or intimate storytelling sessions, we empower GMs to turn their passion into a thriving business. We're building the platform we always wished existed. As passionate gamers and creators ourselves, we understand the profound impact of meaningful play. One of our co-founders was the world's first professional GM https://www.marketplace.org/2019/07/22/dungeons-and-dragons-master-lucrative-side-hustle/, and that pioneering spirit runs through everything we do.
