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.
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.
Same-week payouts. Your money is your money — we don't sit on it. And because Summon only earns when you book a game, our incentives point the same way yours do: help you fill your table and 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.
Private player ratings
Players review you in public. You review them back in a channel only other GMs can see — so a problem player gets quietly flagged before they land at your table. Your protection, not a public pile-on.
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 — a signal you can offer players meeting you for an in-person table.
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.
Permanent badge
A Founding GM marker on your profile, forever. You were here before it was cool.
7.77% in writing
The fee is locked for everyone — Founding GMs get it in writing, on your terms sheet.
Priority placement
Top billing in search for your city and systems while we get your table filling.
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 in your city from the ground up — Birmingham first, then city by city.
What we can promise is everything that's in your control: you keep 100% of your price and your tips, you get in first with Founding GM status, and we only make money when you actually book a game. Our whole job is to help that happen.
A couple of honest specifics: in-person games launch at partner public venues — game stores, cafés, and the like — with home hosting coming as we grow. And Summon is 18+ at launch.
Draw the circle with us.
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.
