Step 1: Get some DMs

First and foremost, without DMs, you have no games. Find one person to DM a game, that’s all you need to start.

Know the AL rules

Have your DMs read the AL Players Guide and AL Dungeon Masters Guide from Documents.

Understand your DMs

Your DMs may have their own triggers, phobias, or preferences when running AL games. Know what those are and work with your DM to create any accommodations.

Compensate your DMs

Reward your DMs with something to entice them to DM at your store:

• Free food
• Store credit

Don’t force DMs to pay to DM at your store.

Step 2: Determine how you want players to sign-up for games

This will come down to personal preference. There are a few different options that stores use.

In-Store Sign-Up

You can have players sign-up for games in your physical stores.

Online Sign-Up

Warhorn is a popular online tool that some stores use to manage their game sign-ups.
