What’s holding you back from being the GM you want to be?
You’ve spent hours preparing for each session. You’re never sure how much is enough and you often plan for more than you need or run out of content mid-session.. You feel burnt out,frustrated, and know that you can never predict what your players will do. How can anyone plan with so much uncertainty?
The players’ excitement isn’t growing—or worse, it wears off. Players drop out after one or two sessions. But why? They seemed excited about the game pitch, you’ve developed the story, and you’re still meeting every week. What could you be missing?
You’ve tried to take your sessions to the next level, but that’s proven easier said than done. Despite your attempts to encourage roleplay, adapt the plot to your characters, and design interesting encounters, your players aren’t engaged and you’re not having fun. What could you do differently?

We’ve been exactly where you are
Every difficulty—you name it—we’ve encountered. We’ve struggled with GM anxiety and faced a lack of inspiration. We’ve drowned in overprep and mourned campaigns that have fallen apart. We know how it feels and we don’t want you to face these hardships alone.
After years of seeking support in GM communities, we noticed a pattern—other GMs faced the same difficulties we did. We devised this course to share what we’ve learned and provide a streamlined pathway to running your best game.
In GM Bootcamp, your mentors have:
- Decades of experience as game masters in multiple game systems
