Find Your Next TTRPG Game with Realm VTT's LFG Board
Finding a D&D game online used to mean juggling Reddit threads, Discord servers, and third-party listing sites just to track down a group that fits your schedule. If you have ever typed "looking for group D&D" into a search bar and come back empty-handed, you know the frustration. Realm VTT's built-in LFG board changes all of that by putting game discovery, applications, and play on a single platform.
What Is the LFG Board?
LFG stands for "Looking for Games" (or "Looking for Group," depending on who you ask). It is a matchmaking board where Game Masters post upcoming campaigns and one-shots, and players browse, filter, and apply to join. Instead of scattering your search across half a dozen websites, everything lives right inside Realm VTT — the same place where you will actually play the game.
How the LFG Board Works for Players
When you open the LFG board, you will see a feed of games organized by system, schedule, and availability. Here is what makes finding your next online TTRPG game straightforward:
Browse and Filter Games
Filter by game system (D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and more), day of the week, time slot, and whether the game is free or paid. This means you can zero in on exactly what you are looking for without scrolling through dozens of irrelevant posts.
Check GM Profiles and Reviews
Before you apply, you can view a GM's profile to see their experience, play style, and reviews from past players. Knowing what kind of table you are joining ahead of time saves everyone from mismatched expectations.
Apply with One Click
Found a game that looks good? Submit an application directly through the platform. The GM will review it, and you will get a notification when you are accepted. No DMs to chase, no emails to track down.
Start Playing Immediately
Once you are accepted, the campaign is already set up inside Realm VTT. There is no need to download a separate app, share links to external tools, or figure out voice chat integrations. You join the session and play.
How the LFG Board Works for Game Masters
GMs — you can now post campaigns, review and approve player applications, and get paid for sessions — all in one place.
Post Your Campaign or One-Shot
Create a listing with your game's description, schedule, system, and any house rules. Add a compelling description of the adventure to attract the right players. Whether you are running a long-term campaign or a single evening dungeon crawl, the listing process takes just a couple of minutes.
Review and Approve Applications
When players apply, you can review their profiles and accept or decline at your own pace. This gives you full control over who sits at your virtual table, which is especially important for paid games and long-running campaigns.
Get Paid to Host Games
If you are a professional GM or just want to earn a little for the time you put into session prep, the LFG board supports paid game listings. Players can see the price up front, and payment is handled through the platform. For more on building a career as a paid GM, check out our guide on how to get paid to host D&D 5e games.
Tips for Posting a Great LFG Listing
Whether you are a GM creating a listing or a player writing an application, a little effort goes a long way:
- Be specific about your schedule. Include your time zone and how often you plan to play. Vague scheduling is the number one reason online groups fall apart.
- Describe the tone and style. Is your game heavy on roleplay, combat-focused, or a sandbox? Players want to know what they are signing up for.
- Set expectations early. Mention any house rules, content boundaries, or required session zero discussions. Transparency builds trust before the first dice roll.
- Use a good image. A compelling campaign image catches the eye and makes your listing stand out in the feed.
Tips for Players Joining Games
- Fill out your profile. GMs are more likely to accept players who have a complete profile with a bit of background about their play experience.
- Read the listing carefully. Make sure the schedule, system, and tone match what you are looking for before you apply.
- Be responsive. When a GM accepts your application, respond promptly. Ghosting is the quickest way to lose a spot.
Why a Built-In LFG Board Matters
Most virtual tabletops treat game discovery as someone else's problem. You end up on a separate LFG site, then move to a different platform to actually play, and maybe use a third tool for voice chat. Each handoff is a place where players get lost, links break, and groups fall apart before session one.
Realm VTT keeps everything in one place. You find your game, apply, get accepted, and play — all without leaving the platform. It is a small thing that makes a big difference, especially for new players trying to find D&D games online for the first time.
Everything needed to play, organize, and connect is built right into Realm — simple, streamlined, and ready for your next adventure.
