ABOUT RPGMATCH

RPGMatch is a free, mobile-friendly web application designed to connect tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) enthusiasts by matching players based on shared preferences such as play style, availability, and safety considerations . Beyond matchmaking, RPGMatch is evolving into a comprehensive social platform for TTRPG fans, featuring community forums, curated content feeds, game reviews, and partnerships with major publishers like Paizo, Chaosium, and Modiphius.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Playing TTRPG goes beyond just playing time and games. There are play styles, safety tools, and play environments. Complicating things further, many games last more than one session and can span months or years.  To help players connect, implemented a Bio feature as a fast easy introduction. But when first implemented adoption was low.  The feedback they received was that the large empty box to fill in was daunting to most users. 
RPGMatch approached Metal Toad for a way to automatically purpose a user Bio based on their profile.
