Paid GMing

Does paid GMing actually happen? Is there anyone who has actually collected a fee for GMing who would be willing to answer some questions for me?

It does indeed happen.  Roll20 has made a more official stance on it recently. Usually it's a pay per session flat fee or an hour of game time fee.  So if a flat fee of $40 per session would be divided amongst the 3-5 players (normally paid GMs run smaller groups). You have to use an OUTSIDE service for fee collection as Roll20 does not have the support nor do they wish to assume any liabilities with it. I would guess most just use PayPal. What questions do you have?

Greetings owen o. - we recently added a section on Paid GMing to our Code of Conduct - it reads: If you wish to solicit your players directly for funding you may do so privately, but no such links are permitted in a public forum. For the time being, paid Game Mastering is allowed without prior approval, if the Game Master posts the following disclaimer: “This game will require payment for my time as a Game Master at a rate of (to be filled with your rates). Be advised that payment will occur off site via (method of payment; be advised that no outside link to a service such as Patreon is allowed here) and cannot be enforced by the Roll20 staff.” If you have any additional questions on the topic, please feel free to email <a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a>.
