Hey Friend,

Welcome to the first installment of GM Taylor’s Gaming News. In these newsletters, I intend to talk about life as a Game Master, the games I have available on StartPlaying.Games, and whatever else comes to mind. At some point, I will move this newsletter to an email newsletter. For now, I am going to put it where everyone can find it.

It is not easy getting the word out about my game offerings; I would appreciate your help.

Ways you can help:

1. If you see a game you’re interested in, sign up, if it fits your schedule
2. Forward games to people you know who might be interested
3. Talk to your friends about how much fun you had playing games with me
4. Please leave me a GM’s review on StartPlaying.Games
5. Join me in a game I am playing

That all being said, let’s get dangerous – I mean started.
