Really cool idea! I could definitely see myself using this service when I graduate and have more time.

Out of curiosity, what is player retention like in campaigns? Have you guys considered adding any incentives to keep players coming to the sessions? When I last played DnD, we would always have a ton of fun during the sessions, but it was difficult to keep everyone coming back regularly.

We have been pretty surprised about how high our player retention is. It's different for every DM but on the site overall it's pretty high. I think part of it is due to how much people really do want to play, and that they have paid for the session. I really do like the incentives idea though. That is something I want to explore more of now. Like a loyalty program for playing in a campaign.

Running paid games brings in a different type of player. As a DM, nothing has been more satisfying. Player retention has been great and I've never had more involved players.

Do you have any ideas about incentives I could offer as a DM?
