For Game Masters
Keep 100%.Every dollar, every tip.
You run the games. You should keep what you earn. Summon takes nothing from Game Masters — not a cut of your price, not a cut of your tips. You set your rate and keep all of it. Players add one flat 7.77% on top, and it never touches your pocket.
100%of your price and every tip. No slivers. No surprises.
The money
Your price is your price.
You set the number. You keep the number. There's no platform cut carved out of your rate, and 100% of every tip is yours too — we never touch either one.
Instead of taking it from you, we add a flat 7.77% on top of your price, paid by the player. Lucky sevens, pre-committed, and it never goes up. That's the whole business model — we'd rather this be a living for you than a line item for us.
Your money is your money. We don't sit on your earnings like a dragon on a hoard — we'll publish exact payout timing before launch. And because Summon only earns when you book a game, our incentives point the same way yours do: fill your table, get you paid.

The tools
Built for you, not around you.
Fair pay is just the start. The rest is treating you like the professional you are — with the tools most platforms keep to themselves.
Booking analytics, in the open
See your fill rate, your views-to-bookings, and exactly which nights and systems actually sell. No more guessing in the dark about why players book or don't — you get the dashboard, not a black box.
Player attendance, tracked
Players review you in public. You don't review them back — instead every player carries an attendance record, tracked automatically: 12 of 12 games attended, 0 no-shows. You see it before you accept a booking.
Every system, equal footing
D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, your weird indie darling — Summon is system-agnostic. No game gets buried so the algorithm can push the popular one.
Verified badge, if you want it
Opt into a background check (Checkr) and wear a verified badge on your profile. It's optional and provider-paid — and once in-person tables arrive, it's a signal you can hand the players who'll be sitting across from you.
Founding GM
First ones through the portal get the crown
The GMs who help us draw the circle at the start get treated like it — permanently.
① Permanent badge
A Founding GM marker on your profile, forever. You were here before it was cool.
② 7.77% in writing
7.77% is the number for everyone, forever. Founding GMs get it in writing, on your terms sheet, so nobody has to take our word for it.
③ A turn in the rotation
You rotate through the new-GM slots players see first, and you stay in that rotation until your first booking lands.
We're hand-onboarding the first Founding GMs — white glove, no forms shouted into the void. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out personally.
The honest part
No crowd is waiting yet.
We won't pretend there's a line of players already queued for your table. We're new, we're bootstrapping, and we're building the demand from the ground up, nationwide.
What we can promise is everything that's in your control: you keep 100% of your price and 100% of your tips — not as a launch promotion, as the deal — you get in first with Founding GM status, and we only make money when you actually book a game. Our whole job is to make that happen.
Two things you should hear from us rather than find out later: online comes first, and in-person follows at partner public venues — game stores, cafés, rooms with a counter and other people in them. Never private homes; that's a rule we picked, not one we backed into. And Summon is 18+.
Your seat is waiting

Get in as a Founding GM — lock your 7.77% in writing, claim your badge, and be first at the table when the doors open.
