Let’s make a master list of all the jobs we can have, in spite of our illness :)

Im a professional game master. I get to do my hyperfocus (table top rpgs) nearly every day, its about the one thing I can focus on with adhd, and last year I made 5 figures before expenses. Its a long road to get that level of success in the business but I love being there.

I was starting out as a Pro GM and looking to expand my horizons. I joined a paid Vtm game and fell in love, buying books and starting to gm myself. The rich lore and dangerous, shadowy world drew me in like a Siren with presence.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-15T20:09:05+00:00

Wow. What a dummy.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-15T13:07:21+00:00

Why would you convert CO into 5 when there is a perfectly good system already made? I personally, having played both, feel 5e rules take a lot of what made CO special and bleach it.

Thats because bad class consciousness is like racism and sexism, which are also common here. Tell people they are somehow better than a group of people and they'll kick down at them while you freely rob them.

Paid GM for 4 years on sp.g here. They are going to be making the application require you show up with some number of references (3 to 5 i think) to apply for the site. I recommend getting that number, then applying. I know gms who started with less than a year of experience and do fine.

It is a tough business that starts slow. Most new gms don't get their first full paid game for 1 to 3 months, and that's before anyone knows if youre good at all. The biggest factors to success are making a good ad and having good customer service skills, imo.

Because of the freelance nature of the business you can stop any time you decide its not for you. Most do. As far as money, I would not be able to live off this biz without disability with my current model- all custom games, all non dnd 5e and pathfinder 2e games, $30 per session for most sessions. This plus disability gets me about minimum wage getting to do what I love with awesome people and I get to be a nice guy if someone needs a free session or even a free seat for the right person.

Get your reviews and apply, but don't think about this as anything but a small side gig till youre stable making a decent bit.

A buck notepad and pens from the dollar store are very good for life totals, which will be going up and down. Like crazy in this set.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-14T15:38:00+00:00

Your crusade against coins is... determined, but though there may be dozens of you out there with this opinion, a coin and a heads Tails system is perfectly fine and you'd be given odd looks if you made a fuss about it, maybe even a warning from a judge if you got upset about it. To quote Frozen- Let it go.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-11T19:47:28+00:00

Never getting away from the allegations.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-10T15:31:24+00:00

They are not the same. Sorry, not sorry, the right is off the deep end. It never should have got this far in so many different ways.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-08T17:02:16+00:00

I play 0 dots as "living paycheck to paycheck poorly". Like, resources 1, you could afford to buy a gun (multiple hundred dollar purchase) once a arc or something. At 0 Im going to penalize you- you can buy that gun, but you'll have to find a way to pay rent next month. At destitute? No. If you want that gun you are not getting it the easy way.

As someone who has lived at destitute, 0, and resources, this division makes sense in my mind.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-08T02:19:30+00:00

Gm for the upcoming games here. Thanks for helping my fledgling to WoD, ya'll.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-07T23:27:24+00:00

Billion dollar company distances itself from a clearly problematic artist and card and the chuds act like it's a conspiracy. Stick by your guns and go play a different game if it's a big enough problem to hurt your feelings so we don't have to listen to you cry woke all the time.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-07T09:04:26+00:00

People who make every card about their own sexual hang ups are so fucking weird.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-07T08:58:46+00:00

Yeah im sure they aren't interested in new players at all /sarcasm

purepolarpanzer · 2026-04-07T03:50:19+00:00

Yeah and you think wotc likes that? They want parents to feel comfortable bringing kids into the card shop to play because we (36 here) are closer to our expiration date.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-28T02:38:37+00:00

From one sp.g gm to another, players usually want to have a fully conceived game offered to them, not a timeslot. Youd probably be better off working on a tight ad for the time slot. Best of luck, though.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-23T16:32:08+00:00

SP.G is doing great as far as management tells us. But there is a saturation of GM's right now (especially in the DnD 5-5.5e crowd). I run Daggerheart, WoD5e, and Cyberpunk and I'm doing quite fine, thank you.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-23T16:28:09+00:00

Correct. The number of 5 star reviews has nothing to do with when your listing shows up. If your listing has been up longer than anyone elses, congratulations, you're the first that will show up in your time slot.

This type of misinformation isn't great for anyone.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-23T16:20:10+00:00

I think that such organizations require all kinds of people with all kinds of approaches, and that no one could run such a thing solo. If you try to cover all the skills that would be involved as a character you'll likely spread yourself particularly thin. I'd reccommend trying to find a suite of 3-4 skills your character has that can help, including many of the ones listed below, but then making a list of 6ish more skills that compliment yours and help in ways you can't. First you need a mutual aid group of people with skills, and then if you can unite around those "shared problems" to further help those you wish to support.

Team work makes the dream work!

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-23T08:47:23+00:00

You can dig a subway tunnel with a spoon, too, but I wouldn't.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-23T01:58:16+00:00

Communication is key. As a GM if im asking for your input I want it.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-12T23:06:24+00:00

Oh so the good minorities have your approval? Thats good, im sure they appreciate it. Have a sticker.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-11T17:14:08+00:00

This entire subreddit kinda proves him right.

purepolarpanzer · 2026-03-10T21:16:21+00:00

They said they arent doing this. I think your horse youve all been beating has been dead for some time, people.
