A Letter to Our Game Masters

Game Masters, If you're running games online, you already know the routine: posting LFP threads into crowded channels, sorting through mismatched players, chasing payments, dealing with last-minute cancellations, and rebuilding trust every time you launch something new. TavernSeat was built to bring structure and professionalism to that process. Here's what it offers you: Structured Player Acquisition Instead of throwing a post into the void, you create a clear, searchable listing with defined tags, tone indicators, and expectations. The right players can find you without endless back-and-forth. Free and Paid Games Supported You can host free games with zero platform fee. For paid games, TavernSeat charges a straightforward 10% platform fee. There are no hidden charges and no exclusivity requirements. List here and anywhere else you choose. Professional Payment Handling (Paid Games) No awkward Venmo reminders. No tracking who paid. Stripe handles transactions cleanly and automatically, so you can focus on running your table. Reputation That Compounds Reviews, session history, and visible experience stay attached to your profile. Your credibility grows over time instead of resetting with every new LFG post. Reduced Flake Risk Through Structure Defined policies, session zero clarity, and structured scheduling reduce ambiguity — and ambiguity is what causes most no-shows. Repeat Booking Made Simple Campaign continuity and frictionless rebooking help you keep tables full without constantly recruiting new players. Early GM Advantage Founding Game Masters receive priority visibility and direct access to the founder while the platform grows. Early positioning matters. TavernSeat isn't about replacing Discord. It's about giving you a cleaner, more professional operational layer around your games — whether you run them for free or as a paid service. If you take your craft seriously, your infrastructure should reflect that. — Mike Rand Founder, TavernSeat
